Time to retire the black pants (at least for the rest of the season)

lol jk
I reeeeaaalllllyyyyy do't like yellow pants. Keep the black ones. Not worried about superstition
The all black pants with the traditional home jerseys just looks stupid. The sleeves on the jerseys are too busy to be paired with the solid black pants.
You can't just cram a pair of alt design pants with jerseys that weren't designed to go with them. So dumb.
Plus, I do believe in juju, and these pants are bad juju.

So, color of clothing determines wins and losses?
Huh.
Huh.
It did against OSU in 2017........
I think Iowa should wear the yellows at Home and the black pants on the road ,
Do you have a better explanation? And color is one one ingredient in fashion fetishism...
It was actually ‘58 I think, but I agree. Great unis!
if the pants color has that big of an effect, then we have larger problems to deal with
Black hides a shart. Yellow, not so much.
I would argue that the "busy" stripe pattern on our jerseys (actually a combination of 5 stripes, alternating black and gold) doesn't match the stripe pattern on our traditional gold pants (a single, wide black stripe). However, we've seen the combination for about 50 years now, so it looks normal to us.
I'm just saying nobody would mix and match Iowa's (or Pittsburgh's) jersey/pant combination when creating new uniforms today.
Solid-color pants match as well as anything, if you ask me. But that's just my opinion.
That's a good point. I think that's probably a part of why I feel strongly about the solid black pants just looking dumb with the traditional home jerseys. There's one pant and only one pant that it goes with and that's the gold with the thick black stripe. It's been the visual hallmark for 55+ years.
A. Black and gold > other combinations and the world can f***ing deal with it
B. One color uniforms simply have never worked. If you're a fan of an NFL team like that, it's because you've gotten used to it.
There's has to be a contrasting balance.
It was actually 1960, as we broke them out during the 2010 Ball State game in honor of that team and the Evy era.
But I'm simply saying we
IMO they were our second best throwback/alt uniforms only behind the 2017 OSU game unis.
The 1939 throwback game against Kent State in 2004 also will have a special place for Iowa fans. I believe Iowa was one of the first (not THE first though) to put on a throwback game like that.
I don't care if it's pink as long as they win.
This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nah, we're never wearing those f***ing abominable 2012 alt unis from the Purdue game ever again..............
That is a factual instance of a piss poor uniform leading to piss poor play.
Btw, and fwiw Hayden was a psychological master. One of the primary reasons we went with the Steelers looking unis is because he wanted the team to look like winners, and maybe, just maybe that'd lead to them BEING winners..............and that we did.
Not a fan of the team, but I really like the simplicity of the Notre Dame's unis. Gold pants without a stripe. Blue or white shirts without busy stripes.
