Why must ISU insist on wearing those awful all black unis?

[HawkCharlotte]

Iowa St. has great traditional colors--Cardinal Red and Gold.

Perhaps before the Lord returns, they'll make a uniform with and worthy of those colors.

 

[BrotherHawkeye]

Iowa envy. What’s best is when they adamantly deny it.

USC wannabe? Although their current record is proving otherwise.

Who's ISU?

 

[mro1978]

what's their record when they wear those awful things? It seems like they lose most of the time

Hey as long as you look good losing to Kansas, that's all that matters......

I went to the ISU game last night. Great game! Great atmosphere. Two pretty even teams. Kansas played well and deserved to win. ISU missed on a few opportunities, but overall didn't play well. Kudos to KU. Good team. Disappointing loss, but not totally unexpected. Good chance to win next week at BYU, which would make them bowl eligible. Never thought that was possible after losing to Ohio.

As for the uniforms, I'm usually not a big fan, but I like it for one big game per year. I like the Jack Trice unis better, but the Black + Silver is ok.

Also, I remember hearing or reading from Chris Williams that those colors are the original ISU colors back in 1890 or so. They switched to Cardinal + Gold in 1920s or so.

Hawk fans will make fun of ISU for pretty much anything, here is another thing to pick on. So be it. Have fun.

School colors in 1890!

It is mainly due to the head coach refusing to wear anything but black

I went to the ISU game last night. Great game! Great atmosphere.

No it wasn’t. Great pregame, then went 3 and out and allowed a touchdown right away and it was pretty dead from there until Purdy showed up.

 

[stender72865]

I respectfully disagree Bryce.

While it's true ISU didn't play well, the game was very competitive and had its share of big plays. Even when ISU was down 21-3, you still felt like "there was time to come back". And they did! Got it to 21-18, then KU made a great play to seemingly put it away. Then ISU scored quickly to still give them a chance with a defensive stop. Give KU a ton of credit for getting a 1st down to seal the win.

Pregame was great! Introducing Purdy was amazing!

In spite of the loss, it was great night of college football!

Pretty sure Pollard's goal is to try and overshadow everything Iowa does.

The black unis while blaring Back in Black throughout the game, and their entrance is also a slow walk like Iowa's to ACDC.

 

[HerkyFan]

Jelly. They’re awesome.

The best part is how often they lose while wearing them.

Must ignore?

And the whining over the officiating a week after chiding Iowa fans a week after the CDJ invalid fair catch. A more predictable fan base there’s never been!

 

[elipse]

NO ONE ….. bitches at officiating more than ISU.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Lets face it, both Iowa and ISU got screwed.

Just by using the term “jelly” tells me that you’re a typical ISU fan. A real manly man! 😂 I bet a guys night out for you includes “mani’s and pedi’s”.
