GFB Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Pretty good! If I were going to make some suggestions, I would say:1) Instead of having the gold facemask, I'd go with a black mask and a gold stripe (you could even have it continue onto the facemask like the kids are doing these days).2) I wouldn't have the gold stripe and white stripe touch. The two colors don't touch anywhere else on the design. A way to fix this might be to turn the white stripe on the home jersey to black, and then put the upper part of the sleeve cap to white (kind of like the Seahawks, who I'm guessing you took some inspiration from).3) The font is compact enough to add some shoulder numbers.4) The PLAYER name is on slightly different angle than the IOWA or the numbers.I also prefer the current logo to this one, but I have a feeling you're a fan of the unused one.

WSU151 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Black facemask would look a little better, I think. The yellow mask is tough to pull off, especially on a black helmet. The number font choice is great. I'd also somehow put large numbers on the back of the helmets - just to keep the tradition going. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I love the logo, LO. I would have to see that sleeve stripe on an actual jersey to know if I like it or not, but moving away from the Steelers ripoffs would be a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS729 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Me gusta, finally Iowa gets something that doesn't make them look like the Steelers' feeder team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoHyphenE Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 The use of the modernized tiger hawk knocks this concept down a peg. There is a reason the fan base rejected it. Other than that I'm not sure I like how far the striping goes in towards the collar but the idea is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roldy54 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 It bears a strong resemblance to Missouri's uniforms. Too similar, in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTswag187 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 The logo on the helmet is too small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRicSlick Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 It bears a strong resemblance to Missouri's uniforms. Too similar, in my opinionHow? Because Mizzou's uniforms are black and yellow also? I fail to see how these resemble the concept by LO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 It bears a strong resemblance to Missouri's uniforms. Too similar, in my opinionHow? Because Mizzou's uniforms are black and yellow also? I fail to see how these resemble the concept by LO.That was my first impression too: These look like Missouri. 1) Yep, it's the colors. But more to be more specific, it's how the colors are used: The gold numbers on the home jersey (they're white on Iowa's jerseys now) and the gold over black for the alternate both immediately made me think of Missouri. 2) The numbers themselves make me think of Missouri: slanted to the right with rounded edges (though Missouri's are better).There's enough between the creativity shown in the striping here and the myriad of uniforms that Iowa has used throughout it's football program's existence to come up with something that both ties to Iowa's current, conservative and traditional look (something as simple as block numbers, perhaps?) and that still differentiates them from both the Steelers and Missouri.

kbaker19 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I like it. Ted, I think the numbers LO used are the same ones used by the Iowa basketball team, and I never once thought Mizzou when I saw it. Thanks Dolphins91 for the jersey avatars.

upperV03 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Aside from the colors, there is no resemblance to Missouri whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarindude Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'd prefer the concept if it used the other Hawkeye logo, but that's just personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
