Yesterday was the Big 12 coaches’ teleconference, but most of the talk around K-State seems to be about the laundry. For the first time in the Klieman era (and, really, the first serious time since He-Who-is-not-Mentioned trotted out the Barney the Dinosaur all-purple look) K-State will wear alternate jerseys in Saturday’s home conference opener against Baylor.
The look chosen for the new alternate jerseys is more subdued than the “bold and daring” head-to-toe purple, substituting white for the traditional silver on both the helmets and pants, with striping and mini Powercats incorporated into the design and a script “Cats” emblazoned on the front of the helmet.
