Are frickin saweeet! Boise State's jerseys, on the other hand are fugly. I understand football isn't a fashion contest, but being that Iowa is sponsored by Nike, I wonder if they'll ever do the pro-combat thing.

I doubt Iowa sells out for that. Iowa's jerseys are better looking then most of this pro combat crap anyways.
 
I could see them doing it but they'd probably have some kind of traditional spin like OSU had last year.
 
There is a rumor on the pay boards that somebody in the equipment department said we are going to switch to the Pro Combat unis next year.

As long as they stay true to the current uni's and don't try and reinvent the wheel (*cough* late Hayden Fry era), I'd have no problem with that. I love the flat black look as well, just wouldn't want to see it every game. On the other hand, it would be cool to have the Hawks be the only team sponsored by Nike that opted not to go pro-combat. You can bet within the next few years, all the other Nike sponsored teams will make the switch.

I think this is the strategy by Nike. They have been unveiling new unis the last couple of years now. Like I said, the guy on the pay boards said Iowa will be switching to them next year. He said something to the fact that Kirk wasn't big on it but the money Nike was throwing in was too much to pass up.
 
I realize that VT is wearing pro combat, I was just wondering what the design characteristics of it are.

In other words, how would Iowa's jersey change if they went to pro combat.
 
Actually both unis tonight are pro combat. I don't know how to explain it. I think a lot of it is the padding and the fabric used. I know there are a few teams using them now. Besides this year, I remember Miami had them in the Champs bowl last year and Mizzou had them for the KU/Mizzou game.
 
I think both teams' jerseys and uniforms are absolutely hideous and ugly. I think the Nike Pro Combat design line is gimmicky.

There will have to be a pretty big paycheck by Nike to the University of Iowa for KF to allow Iowa to wear them.

Go Hawks!
 
I think the VT uniforms look good, but I bet they never are seen on those players again after tonight! Whoa. What a beatdown thus far.

Not saying these uni's would look anything like what Iowa might/will don, but it's a visual at least.
