First off, congrats to CMC and the AMAZING job he did in only 23 days on the ground recruiting!! He and his staff of excellent coaches are machines. And we all thought it was tough to recruit to Ames!

After speaking to one of these fine coaches at NSD, I asked the million dollar question (or at least for this site), are we getting new unis?!

After a smile and laugh, I will keep this coach annonymous, said "maybe for game 2. The problem is Nike works one year in advance. But we have something we're working on."

You heard it here first folks, a change AND storm is coming soon!!

In before "oh great ANOTHER uniform thread.
 
So maybe the throwbacks for game 2 and then new jerseys next year?
 
ISU has always sort of had 'new' uniforms, i.e. never a standard look that's all that recognizable as just ISU.
 
Give us what we want!

Nike pays us the least of any Power 5 team. The least they can do is get us new jerseys sooner those cheapskates!
 
I'd like to see them wait until year two and get it right and bad*** over rushing just to have something in year one. It is correct that Nike orders are due a year out; orders for an upcoming season are due around late October/early November -- for everything: shoes, hats, staff practice attire, uniforms, travel sweats, etc. and then a semi drops it all off in the summer. Some small orders can be placed after that but nothing of significant quantity or change (i.e., full high quality [insert running CF joke here] uniform sets for 130 players).

The Jack Trice throwbacks were thrown together on a short timeline and it looked like a cheap product because it was a cheap product. The jerseys were screen printed on the same material as practice jerseys, and the pants were made from the same material as pre-2008 pants. When Pro Combat uniforms were all the rage, teams & Nike reps were planning them at least 1.5 - 2 years out so they could be ordered by the year-in-advance deadline.

Maybe they looked bad from up close but I thought on tv the throwbacks looked awesome in HD
 
I'm in the minority but I love the current uniforms, I just hate the helmet.

I like them too but I associate them to losing now. Chizik was 2 and 10 with them and Rhoads was 32-55 with them. Time for a new image and new uniforms are a good start.
 
Phil K, baby. You telling me you can't pull some strings for CMC? No problem, he would look better in Under Armour gear anyway!
 
I wonder if they'll keep them under wraps until gameday or if they'll announce them during the offseason.
