NEW.ERA Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Huh I wasn't aware that Hayden Fry actually gained permission from the Steelers to use this design and when I see Iowa football I see the black with the gold stripes and that's what makes them still in my mind one of the best sets in college football.

BBTV Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 How anyone can feel that sleeve stripes are still appropriate for football uniforms is beyond me. There is simply no rational reasoning that can be used to justify their inclusion on this particular uniform.

Cujo Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 They need a major overhaul to separate themselves from the Steelers.Agreed. Not that the Steelers look all that fresh to begin with, but it defines who they are. And up to this point, with the six rings and legacy they've made for themselves, that uniform shoud be exclusive to Pisstburgh. I guess, if anything, at least Iowa slaps a Hawkeye sticker on both sides their helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Minor change for their uni's this yearI kind of liked the Iowa better but these just look the same so no real upgrade/downgradeI think the collar logo could've done without the white outline. I, for one, think a team with the name "Hawkeyes" could actually use a modern, original design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I, for one, think a team with the name "Hawkeyes" could actually use a modern, original design.You're damn right they could.And agreed with BBTV on the "stripes" on these. They're as wide as they are tall at this point. Let 'em go, and come up with something that actually fits the uniform. Preferably something that doesn't involve just changing the shade of gold on the Missouri unis and calling it a day.

scraw28 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I really have no problem with Iowa's unis. Like to see them wear the black shoes and black socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sc8b Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'd prefer nothing on the collar, but this is fine I guess. Based on Hawkeye fans' responses to the new logo and those crazy feather uniforms, I doubt people would be too happy about a major change. The new cut of uniforms makes the stripes look pretty bad, but I doubt they're going anywhere anytime soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEWJ Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Yes the stripes look bad.But they still made the Steelers uniform look better than the Steelers do.They made the sleeve stripes look a bit better than this monstrosity... | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. White outlining yellow just doesn't work, especially on something so small. And if they don't need it on the helmet -- or basketball jerseys' collar -- why in the world did they add it there? I prefer what they had before, but agree they need a non-Apex modernization.However, I like the effect of yellow outlining white. These jerseys are my personal favorites, although they screwed up the tigerhawk in exactly the same way. They modernized the Steelers look into their own version that says Iowa (literally): I think the white jerseys distribute the colors better.

Cianfrocco Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Agreed. Those uniforms from mid-late 90s, just after the Apex 1 monstrosities, were their best look. I am all for tradition, but I wouldn't mind seeing a change to something along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am all for tradition, but I wouldn't mind seeing a change to something along those lines.I doubt if they'll be changing for a while. Kirk Ferentz is big on tradition. He changed the uniforms back to the Steelers look after he took over as head coach and he just signed a seven year extension to keep him at Iowa until 2015. Of course that doesn't mean he'll stick around that long, but as long as he's there, they uniforms won't be changing much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
