Iowa State’s colors are red -- err, cardinal -- and yellow -- or, excuse me gold. That color scheme sometimes made the Cyclones dress like the official football team of McDonald’s, especially when they wore gold pants under cardinal jerseys with a pair of golden arches on each shoulder.
Those days are now over.
Iowa State on Tuesday unveiled a new uniform set, which will feature a solid cardinal set, a solid white set and a solid black set. Presumably each uniform can mix and match elements from the others, but gone are the gold pants and the alternate gold tops.

It’s always dangerous to judge a uniform before it hits the field of play, but the initial thought here at CFT HQ is that the all-white look is the runaway winner.
