New uniforms next year

[IowaFan81]

Iowa will be wearing Nike Elite jerseys next year. Look to schools like Michigan State, Kentucky, Texas, Duke, Syracuse, etc. for examples of what they may look like like. IIRC all those schools wear the Elite jerseys as well.

If any of the few previous links are an indication of what Iowa will be wearing, expect some tinkering with the color schemes, and alot of gray in the jerseys.. Correct?

If so, can't say I'm crazy about it. Stick to black and gold!

Not sure what's up with MSU going to the gold and green.. Makes them look like S. Florida.

Iowa has had a number of minor changes that basically amounted to polishing a turd, it is well beyond the time to go away from the ugly font. Too clunky and NASCAR looking.

Iowa should have great looking uniforms, they already have a great color scheme and logo.

Why? The current version is less than 5 years old.

To remove the bad taste in everyone's mouth.

I guarantee that they won't be gray. It was something Nike did for big time programs to give them alternate uniform for one game. I hope they have the jerseys that have a pattern on the back of the unis that have a special significance to the university, like put the old capital building with a tiger hawk over lapping it.

BB uniforms can get ugly in a hurry if they try to be too trendy or innovative. Stay classic, Iowa.

Everything Adidas does with basketball uniforms is terrible.

We're not with Adidas so no worries there. I'm not a fan of the Hyper Elite deal with the logo on front instead of school name, but it might look kinda cool with a tiger hawk, I don't know. I'd like them to make the name less bold on the front so it's more legible and more like it used to be.

Because a better program can't do that? This is nothing more than a cash grab.

I agree.

(This doesn't mean I am against the change. I honestly have trouble even picturing the current uniforms. I figure that is not a good sign re: the design.)

Just switch to the Penn State throwbacks and never change them again.

Iowa has changed uniforms frequently for decades. I honestly can't keep track of all the uniforms the Hawks have worn over the years. I'm ready to get rid of our current duds, not to wash the bad taste out, but to just get rid of some awful uniforms.

Indiana, on the other hand, has made very few changes. The colors shifted more to scarlet and white for awhile, rather than crimson and cream, but other than that, the uniforms have stayed the same for decades.

How would you be able tell if Penn State was wearing throwbacks?

I'm not opposed to minor changes or tweaks in the design - the football program makes small, almost unnoticeable changes every year. But scrapping it in favor of a new system less than 5 years after it's debut is stupid. There's nothing wrong with the current uniforms that a better program can't cure.

The previous links were, like already posted, alternate uniforms on a one game basis. The jerseys will look more like:

Like I said, I am not even sure what the current uniforms look like. I can conjure them up if I try really hard but I have no problem with a change. I do have some concern that they will pick one of the (what I consider) god-awful designs out there.

Pretty sure he's referring to the Hawkeye jerseys with the cursive "Iowa" that they wore against Penn State last year.

Anyway, I can handle some change and tweaks in the design.. It seemed like under Mr. Davis, it was never really the same jersey twice. Most of them looked pretty good IMO, with a couple of exceptions.
