I think a bunch of you will enjoy this graphic that I whipped up yesterday.
While we were happy to see ISU recognize Jack Trice with the throwback uniforms in 2013, the actual uniforms left much to be desired and were far from being correct. Many of you know about our research into Jack Trice's life, so we are perhaps uniquely positioned to share our expertise here.
In the service of being historically accurate and respectful to Jack Trice's legacy, I whipped up a quick example of how a much more historically accurate throwback would look. This reflects the uniform Jack wore for the Minnesota game the day after writing his famous letter.
Perhaps in 2023, ISU could take another whack at it for the 100th anniversary of Jack's only varsity season at Iowa State and henceforth the jerseys could be worn close to his anniversary every four years (so each senior class can wear it once) during a nationally televised game to keep sharing his legacy?
(I have a bigger file size (1920 x 1080) if people want it.)
