Oregon had a “Duck” uniform, so why shouldn’t we have a Lancelot & Elaine uniform?

Earlier on Monday, while scouting snow prediction totals, I had an epiphany. Iowa State needs an(other) alternate uniform.

“Against Colorado in 2016, Oregon had these uniforms that looked a lot like their Duck mascot,” my inner monologue said. “We need a uniform that honors feathered friends on our campus too.”

“Haven’t we already worn a uniform that reminds fans of Cy?” some of you might be wondering.

“Well, yes,” I would tell you. “Did you know USC copied Iowa State’s shoulder stripes? Anyways, these uniforms commemorate Lancelot and Elaine.”

These uniforms reportedly are fit with Hypersoft technology. Just like the mute swans that are Lancelot and Elaine, Nike Hypersoft makes even the loudest Cyclone players quiet on the field for elusive purposes. (Nike Hypersoft does not exist... Yet.)

Black socks and cleats are also included to mimic mute swans black legs and feet.

It’s time.
