Iowa State Cyclones Unveil Surprise New White Uniform | Uni Watch
The Iowa State Cyclones unveiled a fourth new uniform for the 2024 season on Thursday afternoon, which adds to the set of three new unis they unveiled in early May. Although that set did include a white uniform, the numbers, wordmark and sleeve stripes were cardinal and gold. This new uniform is white with only black accoutrements.
As always, lets start with the hype video:
The fourth jersey is here‼️

Here’s how that compares to the other three sets they unveiled previously:
Ain’t no joke.

The new hype video unfortunately doesn’t show any rear views of the uniform, but we can safely assume that both NOB and number will be black.
There are some additional views here:

The helmet is white, and it was previously shown with the set released in early May. Clearly this uniform is designed to be worn as part of an “Icy White” or “Stormtrooper” theme. In fact, the video showing players holding what looks to be a lightsaber portends the Star Wars theme. However, Stormtroopers didn’t use lightsabers, so that’s a curious prop. And most Jedi didn’t wear mono white.
The white jersey and helmet were also shown with black pants, so it appears that will be an option.
I donno. Maybe it’s not a lightsaber.
This new uniform is fine, but it also seems completely unnecessary. They already introduced a perfectly good white uniform — in actual school colors — so this feels like overkill. But this is obviously part of the current trend in college football so it is what it is.

Former Iowa State star, All-American Audi Crooks announces transfer destination
Former Iowa State center Audi Crooks has committed to Oklahoma State via the NCAA Transfer Portal. She has one season of eligibility remaining.
Crooks made 99 appearances and 95 starts during her three seasons at Iowa State. She averaged 25.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game this past season, while shooting 64.9% from the field. Additionally, the 6-foot-3 star shot 1-11 from 3-point range.
Crooks played a leading role for the Cyclones from the moment she stepped on campus. She is a three-time All-Big 12 First-Team selection and two-time All-American. On April 2, Crooks announced her intention to enter the transfer portal.
“Cyclone Nation, thank you all for embracing me and showing up to Hilton every single game day. I’ve met so many of you out in the community, and I will cherish all of the genuine connections that I’ve built during my time at Iowa State,” Crooks wrote. “Words cannot fully express how grateful I feel to have called this place home.
“I want to thank my teammates for their friendship and all the great memories. … I still believe the grass is greener where you water it, and I’ve done that here.”
Now, Audi Crooks will aim to thrive in her new environment. Oklahoma finished the 2025-26 season with a 24-10 overall record.
The NCAA Transfer Portal officially opened on April 6 and closes on April 20. The new 15-day window was enacted following a recommendation by the women’s basketball oversight committee. Athletes don’t have to commit to a new school by the April 21 deadline.
