Those would look great with a tigerhawk outline (not filled in).

"If it ain't broke don't fix it." Some of the best advice I was ever given.
I always have liked the Dallas Cowboy uniform where they wear white shirts at home or on the road, unless the opponent wears white at home. I would not mind Iowa wearing the white tops and the gold pants sporting the glossy black helmets for home games.

The current jerseys and helmets are awesome. I hope they are never changed.. It would be change just for the sake of change, not because there's anything that needs to be improved upon.

Oregon, 297,322 uniform combinations, zero national titles. Somebody had a sign saying that on Gameday a couple weeks ago.
UVA is going to unveil a new helmet this weekend that has a carbon weave pattern instead of the usual paint. I'd be cool with that one.
Alabama, LSU, Auburn, all seem to be doing pretty well on the field without all the uniform silliness.

If you ask anyone with a marketing background if they think Iowa should change up their uniforms from time to time, they will most likely say "no". It takes takes a lot of resources and planning to build a brand. Iowa's football helmet and jersey has almost become iconic, and that's something that is hard to put a price on. It's a nationally recognized brand AS IS. When you change that image, you create brand confusion.
As a guy with a marketing degree, if Iowa was to make any kind of change I think it would need to be an all-black uniform (pants/jersey/helmet) with a flat black helmet. It's a slight deviation, but it doesn't create brand confusion. You wouldn't want to use this in a night game though, because most QB's like to be able to see their receivers.
Otherwise, it needs to be left alone. Oregon wasn't in Iowa's position when they began their uniform bonanza. They didn't have a nationally-recognized brand. How many of you remember what their uniforms looked like BEFORE the Nike money?

My thought for Iowa jerseys that would satisfy the conservative fans while also adding some more possibilities to our uniforms would be to just add a couple pairs of pants. White with a black/gold stripe on the side, and Black with a gold stripe. You can still wear our regular uniforms 90% of the time, but every once in a while spice it up (Blackout game wear all black, maybe a "stormtrooper" look on the road for a game, etc.)

just my own personal preference, I would rather keep all that "stuff" off the helmet and solely have the tiger hawk on both sides. Maybe the numbers on back.
I was not a big fan of the ANF sticker in Haydon Fry's day but thought it was cool to bring it back for nostalgia reasons for 1 game or 1 season, but the ANF sticker needs to go.
the american flag should not be worn on clothing.
What an all black would look like in my MS Paint mock up. A little too close to the trashy look that Missouri has, IMO.

The Tigerhawk is our brand and I would never change that, but an alternate uniform with a different helmet design would be great for special games. There is nothing unique about our uniforms and it would be nice for recruiting.
I don't have a shiny marketing degree but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night!
