Did you make that picture? That is sweet. Those would be awesome uniforms.
Found this on BHGP Engy's: Iowa's Throwback Game of 2010
Looks like they'll be black with plain yellow stripes, the helmet will have a Black stripe and numbers on the sides.

+1. That is an awesome uniform design!

I especially like the tigerhawk watermark (or whatever it is) on the thigh pads.

Too much, trying too hard- ESPECIALLY with the thigh pads (and NOT a fan of yellow jerseys). As posed in a previous discussion, I could see Iowa doing a combat jersey that isn't much more than a throwback. Liked what OSU did last year.
Yellow, bleh. All black is the way to go. Like Missouri's uniforms, with the stealth helmets. Those are freaking awesome.

Lol Not a fan of EVER copying MIZZOU 
... although the all black helmet is pretty sweet. Much more in favor of copying the Steelers again- this seems pretty close to what the throwbacks will be anyhow.

Those uni's look like girls' softball uniforms. Don't mess with what they have. I am fine with a throwback uni now and then but leave our regular uni's alone.

will we be wearing white or yellow pants?

That is a good question... I guess that I just unfairly assumed the pants would be white (from the last throwback game), when in fact this photo from the 1959 Rose Bowl has Iowa with yellow pants.

The Iowa football uniforms in 1958 had a yellow helmet with a black stripe and black numbers on the sides.
The jersey was black with yellow numbers and a yellow stripe.
The pants are yellow with a thin black stripe.
They were awesome uniforms then (best in the Big Ten) and you will be impressed with them in the "throwback" game. I remember them well as a young boy (Iowa basically wore the same uniform through most of the 60s and then again in the Commings era).
Hayden threw them out because the winning ways in the 50s gave way to 20 consecutive losing seasons. Fry changed to the Steelers look, which prevails today with the Tiger Hawk (a great uniform, in my opinion, which should never be changed because it is now a "brand", like the Michigan uniforms).

I hope to NEVER see the Iowa Hawkeyes in bright yellow like that. Our current "yellowish" version of Old Gold is about as yellow as I can stand.
Unfortunately, if these pics are floating around out there, it most likely means we'll be wearing these for a game next season. I don't think Nike would waste time designing something that wouldn't get used.
If they would've went with true OLD GOLD, they would be vary cool - but bright yellow? Please no.

Nike makes our current uniforms, and I'm pretty sure they made the 39 throw backs.... just saying.

easy buddy, no ones talking about changing the uniforms. they could be an alternate, like a once a year thing.

Why are we "throwing back" to 1958 in 2010? Did we forget to do it in '08? Or is there something special about the 52nd anniversary that I'm missing?
Which is not to say that I don't like the '50s look as described and pictured. Nice way to commemorate Hawkeye history and have a change of pace -- perhaps once every other year. Other than that, I agree with not messing with the Tigerhawk/Steelersesque design.
Although ... I always thought it might be cool to go all-white for our road unis. I think that could look pretty slick with black and gold trim.
