Pro Combat Concept Jersey

The only problem is the stripes on the front convey Adidas (at least to me). I guess anything three stripes just screams Adidas and I don't think Nike would make anything with three stripes. Maybe try adding one more on each side? It looks to me like Jack Trice had more than three on his shirt anyway.

I do think this is a great idea and something that we should definitely do (even posted my own mockups earlier), but I'm not sure how unique the angled front stripes are to ISU (could've been pretty common in that era). Here's an infographic showing tOhio St had something similar in the 20s - at around the same as JT.

I like staying true to the originals. If Nike won't make them f'um. We could go with Adidas.

But I think the originals had 5 stripes anyway. It is just hard to see the ones furthest from center because they are under the arms. Maybe it is easier to see in this picture.

*Edit: Trice looks like a beast here. Way bigger than the other players in that pic.

These might be the single best ISU uniforms I have ever seen. I also love the idea of "Take Cover" as ISU Football's new identity. However, if these uniforms were just Pro Combat unis as an ode to Jack Trice, I think the tagline should be either "Expect Big Things" or "I will" because of the letter he wrote the night before he died:

My thoughts just before the first real college game of my life: The honor of my race, family & self is at stake. Everyone is expecting me to do big things. I will. My whole body and soul are to be thrown recklessly about the field tomorrow. Every time the ball is snapped, I will be trying to do more than my part. On all defensive plays I must break through the opponents' line and stop the play in their territory. Beware of mass interference. Fight low, with your eyes open and toward the play. Watch out for crossbucks and reverse end runs. Be on your toes every minute if you expect to make good. Jack.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_T...y:_A_Symbol_of_Sports_Idealism_Rediscovered-0

Otherwise, I love just about everything about this thread, especially the "Jack Trice Socks".
 
Not a fan of the "new" Cy logo that came out last year. As stated earlier, how would the 80's tornado logo look? Or how about the interlock ISU logo from the 60's?

I'm not big on it either but it was easy to slap on there.
