Mingjai Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm watching the Iowa-Michigan State game on ESPN, and Iowa is wearing gold uniforms at home. Do they do this often? Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yac12 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 They do this for almost every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mingjai Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 I guess I don't watch enough Big Ten basketball, but it seems like every time I've seen the Hawks play at home, they're wearing white. Too small of a sample size I guess. . . Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I think (although I'm not sure) that the gold is a third that took off in popularity, like the Illini orange, and like the orange can be worn at home or on the road.

Cianfrocco Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 They have always had a gold third third jersey for at least the last decade, but they usually only wore them in non-coference games at the beginning of the season. The last couple years they have worn them more and more in the Big Ten games. And yes, they do wear the gold home and away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I think not too long ago Iowa wore exclusively gold at home but in recent years they seem to have switched to white at home. I wasnt aware they even had a gold set this year.. I hope they wear them more often I have always liked gold uniforms at home as a nie change of pace to the normal white.

TNT44 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I've only seen them wear black or white jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogbarks55 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 You better enjoy the gold this year. I believe in 2006-07 there's a rule change stating that "white uniforms only" must be worn by the home team. No more gold, silver, powder blue or orange at home.

I know that this will be a rule for High School basketball, but I haven't seen it for the NCAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNI/OSU/SMU Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Iowa has had a gold alternate for some time now. The wore Gold exclusively at home when George Raveling was the coach. When Tom Davis came, they changed to the more conventional White. The usually wear the Gold for big games at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
