Time for a new uniform?

[homes]

Not a huge fan of the existing uniforms, but better than the prior one. A new style I'd like to see, with an homage to the past:
(couldn't edit out the pink square, so keep it if such stuff appeals to your finer sensibilities)

 

[MelroseHawkins]

On the current uni's I don't like how high the number looks on the back. In addition, there's a poofy part right in the middle of the back of the neck area that sticks out which drives my wife nuts.

How about these with the "I" on the shorts. Ugh.

Yes, the I down the side! BTW, Jimmy Rodgers, former coach of the Boston Celtics and father of Matt Rodgers, Iowa QB.

The classic cursive Iowa is top notch....they REALLY need to lose the highlighter yellow color,,,,,,ugh!!!!

Nice.

The bulge thing on the back under the name is a tracking device of some sort. I have always thought the same thing that it looks dumb tho. Then I heard on a podcast that it tracks the health status of the player in real time. I haven't seen any other teams use them though so I can't imagine the data is very useful.

I hate uniforms with a contrasting belt of color at the waste. They look like 19th century bathing suits to me.

I liked most of the Iowa jerseys back in the 80's and 90's.. Thought they kinda went to garbage when Alford was coach, using the slanted "impact" font for everything or whatever you call it. Meh.

Although I really don't mind the current jerseys all that much but with Nike doing everything, I don't know what it is, they all kinda seem the same somehow, from team to team. I like a more unique look. The cursive "Iowa" would do it, as well as being a throwback to the past.

A couple other looks from the past that I don't mind. I especially like the one Street is wearing.

I remember it may have been Fran's second year? The Hawks wore the throwback jerseys in a home game against PSU IIRC:

Good point. I liked the look of that uniform but something seemed off and I couldn't put my finger on it.

You did.

Maybe a thin contrasting color for the belt line would look better. But you're right.

Nobody can read cursive anymore that'll confuse em. I actually like our current uniforms a lot.

Throw on the ANF while you're at it

I like what we have but maybe if you throw a MAC logo on the front of your design like Michigan State had on the other jersey the night when we played them it would look better.

The "MAC" on State's jersey stands for Michigan Agricultural College, its original name. I'm starting to sound like a uniform nerd.

Interesting. I was waiting for the announcers to say something, but either they didn't or I was running to the fridge and missed it.
