These look good, but what's up with the blue one?

GOOD: red pants; red facemasks; colored inserts at the armpits; the white helmets actually look pretty good in this set.

BAD: navy alternate; navy monochrome (trim colors should stay trim colors, my man); lack of design continuity as pertains to collars (red on the white, but red on the red and navy on the navy); lack of correlation between sleeve hems and collar (done on white jersey, not done on red or navy), piping for piping's sake at the sleeve hem (navy separating white from white or red from red); yellow's a little bright..

YECCH! #1: Iowa State sees fit to refer to itself as "STATE" as in the wordmark? They wouldn't be my 10th choice! Florida State, Michigan State, NC State, Ohio State, Oregon State, Oklahoma State... you get the idea. They're the most prominent I___ State; go that way or just go "IOWA STATE"

YECCH #2: three pairs of pants? Pro teams don't even do that. Who buys college football pants? NOBODY! So why would the school* go to the trouble of paying for 3 pairs of pants... to play 13 games... and not make a single penny from sales of those pants. It's not like an alternate jersey, which fans would wear and gladly shell out money for. We're talking about football pants.

YECCH #3: Maryland and Louisville are here to claim their design offspring. There's no reason for that much navy. You made the red/gold combos work really nicely with an acceptable minimum of navy trim. The armpit inserts are a subtle reminder of the wings of the Cy-Bird. Embellish these aspects that would make ISU look unique and classy instead of a clone of a more prominent program.

* Oregon is the exception, but as Nike's lab rats, they don't pay for their armoireful of fashion nightmares.

Even worse. Navy's been used as an accent color at ISU for some time now. Black is a sellout move to pay some marketing guru's salary. It also underscores my "lovechild of Maryland and Louisville" comment.

For the record, it comes up as navy on my screen.

I can deal with the black trim as long as it stays as trim (read: piping). And I while I'm generally against teams using colors other than their official ones, Iowa State's used navy long enough that it fits their identity much better than black.

And I also agree with what someone else said about referring to them as "state." Change it to "I-State." Other than that, you've got a pretty solid concept that just needs some tweaking.

EDIT: One last gripe... can you turn down the red a few notches? Although it might just be my computer.

Dunno why, but it reminds me a lot of the Arizona Cardinals jersey. Not a bad thing per se, just interesting.

I think this entire set looks excellent. I especially like the general design of the uniform.

[Hat Boy]

There is too much going on in this design. All the red/whie with black and yellow piping and accents make it the football equivilent of the current Calgary Flames uniform.

Heres the really delayed second edit. C&C
