Should Iowa change their uniforms?

I would like to see Herky have an eyeball (white with a small black pupil) and an orange beak...and maybe change him to more of a brown to look more like a real hawk. I would actually like him to look more like the HawkeyeNation logo, with teeth, too...and maybe some blood dripping out of his mouth or maybe the state flower...or both. If I were a better photo doctorer, I would create an example for you, but you will have to let your imagination do the work. Sorry.

I'd like to see our tiger hawk evolve into Mothra. Maybe we could just play one season with a cocoon on our helmets before the big intro.

What if we give Herky a more of a Rambo motif. Get him all ripped on steroids, shirtless, a bandana and a long jerry curl mullet and some military boots with a blade that comes out of the toe. But he would need a HUGE knife and an even bigger gun....like "old painless" that Jesse Ventura carries in Predator...and maybe rather than being carried out to the 50 yard line by the cheerleaders before every game, he rides in on a tank with monster truck wheels and there will be pyrotechnics, I'm not talking some whimpy sparklers, I mean some freakin' 20 foot flames, like the ones that barbequed James Hetfield from Metallica. And speaking of Metallica, we should replace the Enter Sandman before the game with some Slayer, or Cannibal Corpse...or play them both at the same time. Oh yeah and blood coming out of Herky's mouth. I like that one Greg. That would be one badass mascot. :rolleyes:

No can-do...if Iowa makes the national title game, I don't want to be down by 2, driving in the last 2 minutes, only to lose the game when Godzilla shows up and starts destroying everything in his path!

What if I could promise that Godzilla would only destroy those who want the old winged jerseys back? Cough chocoloco cough...

Besides we have Clayborn for one more year so what are you all worried about Nancy Boy?

I say make no changes to current uniforms but add a alternate home with black pants w/ old gold or whatever down the side black socks only, with a black top as it is and either a yellow tiger hawk or a flat black one kinda like mizzu's alt, uniform last year.

I second this. Keep the standard home and away uni's the same but add an alternate home and/or away. All they would need to do is get some white pants which they could wear both home and/or away. They could also get black pants to wear either home or away. It's a simple change that would allow them to have up to 6 different uniform combinations:
1. Black on Gold
2. Black on White
3. Black on Black
4. White on Gold
5. White on White
6. White on Black

**Also, short black socks with black cleats always looks sharp! Lastly, some Nike ProCombats would be sweet, somewhere along the lines of Missouri's flat black uni's they wore last season. Would make for some great oppotunities to sell replica helmets/jerseys etc.

Great. Let's turn into Oregon.

You forgot about the Gold on Black, Gold on White, Gold on Gold. Then to honor farmers, we can add some green, or brown. On breast cancer awareness day, we'll throw in some pink. Veterans Day? Red, white, and blue.

The other teams won't know what to expect--let's change clothes at halftime, just to really confuse them.
 
If you're talking about the "wings" on the shoulders design, I'm going to round up the posse and we WILL hunt you down...:mad:

:p

Yeah, come and get me. At least they weren't copies of another team's uniforms. I say the helmet stays the same, the rest can be subject to change. BLASPHEMY!!!!
