What If The Iowa Hawkeyes Got "State Pride" Football Uniforms?

in Iowa Hawkeyes Football
Email
PrintThere was a lot of chatter about uniforms this weekend, what with Georgia deciding to gear up in Power Rangers attire and Boise and Oregon sporting the latest Nike Pro Combat get-ups. Oh, and Maryland wearing those... things they were wearing the other night. And there was some chatter this summer about Iowa possibly getting their own one-off Pro Combat uniforms. So, naturally, fashion made a rare appearance at Kirk Ferentz's press conference yesterday. If you can't already predict the good captain's answer to the question of whether or not Iowa will be sporting a Pro Combat alternate uniform in the near future, well, you haven't been following Iowa football for very long.
Kirk Ferentz was asked Tuesday if he had been approached about a one-game uniform change a la Georgia and Maryland, and if he would consider doing it.
"I think that’s no and no," Ferentz said.
"It never made it to my desk. Maybe they did (ask), I don’t know. Maybe somebody told them don’t bother."
In other words, outside of the odd throwback game, don't expect anything other than the same ol', same ol' from Iowa while Ferentz is in charge. You're not going to catch Iowa rocking anything that looks like a costume from a Daft Punk video.
But BHGP is never entirely satisfied with settling for the status quo. After we got done carefully scraping up the remnants of our brains from across the walls and upholstery (where they had settled upon viewing Maryland's "State Pride" uniforms on Monday), we got to wondering: what might an Iowa version of those uniforms look like? Granted, the Iowa state flag is quite a bit more traditional than the Maryland flag, which looks like a cross between something that belongs on an old European castle and something that belongs at F-1 race, but we were undeterred. If the residents of "The Old Line State" had enough pride to cover the football team of flagship university in their flag, then the residents of "The Hawkeye State" could -- nay, MUST -- do the same for the football team of their flagship university. Have we no state pride? Are we not proud Iowans? Which led us to create this:
('shop courtesy of the inimitable Horace, of course)
GO IOWA AWESOME. And, yes, it's totally normal to bleed from the eyes that much. Don't worry about it. And Nike? We'll take a 10% cut for design assistance. That seems reasonable, right?
(Seriously, a huge T/F/J to Horace for his help with this post.)

The uniform looks atrocious
But, I want that jersey as a t-shirt. Make that happen BHGP!

The helmet should stay as it normally is - black w/Tiger Hawk, because Iowa is the Hawkeye State and fuck you, Iowa State.
The pants should rock the corncob motif (no, not that way, sicko): green/husks on the bottoms leading up the legs to an exposed ear of corn.

State motto raps around so its visible on the back
“Our Liberties We Prize and Our Rights We Will Maintain”
The problem is that with the wrap around it would say
“Rights We Will Maintain Our Liberties We Prize”. The “And Our” would be, umm, dangling between the corn cobs.
When do we wear these, though?
I see two options:
Iowa State game – “Fuck you, we’re Iowa’s team.”
Nebraska game – “Fuck you, Iowa produces more corn.”

Actually...
I like it! I really like it! Just reverse the colors of the pants so it’s Red White and Blue. LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!
The helmet is hilarious
but I actually like the rest of it. If we ever did anything different, it would be something like this as opposed to some Nike-Rollerball setup. Thats why I hated the Georgia/OK State (those were awful)/any uniform Oregon wears setup. And, as strange as it was, I actually liked the Maryland unis because they, were based on something that was real.
FOUR. THREE. COVER. TWO.
The helmet
really needs to be that pro-combat corn texture stuff. We could vary it by what hybrid of corn we use. And then give the corn cob a set of hawk wings.
Just spitballin’ here, I am ideas man with no MS paint skills.

Well the PA Turnpike is like a grand prix course.
But I still don’t think it’s a sport since my fat rear can still hammer down the gas and drive it like a maniac.
Chazz will probably LOVE the jersey, since it looks so damn much like those atrocities we once wore.

Wings on the shoulders is enough of a comparison for me.
I took you for someone with better taste than to like the winged jerseys. Boy, was I wrong!
"No I'm not going to 'limber up'. You ever see a lion stretching before it takes down a gazelle?"
I prefer the current version
I just think that the winged jerseys aren’t gawd-awful. Also, the only uniform I’ve seen so far this year that I didn’t like was Georgia’s.
It’s not my fault you people can’t appreciate the avant garde. And yes, I have always liked Oregon’s unis. Sometimes I don’t care for a certain combination but I love the boldness/attention seeking that Uncle Phil allows them to have.

Even I would find it difficult to argue that point with you, Kluginator.

I don't like the wings AND the tigerhawk AND 'hawkeyes'
All across the front. If I picture them wings only they seem much better.
Think I’ve mentioned this before but I have vague memories of there being a major unveiling of these uniforms back then & thinking ‘Oh, dear’.

Somebody was trying to describe the last horrific jersey experiment.
People kept calling them banana peels in previous discussion(as I said, I think it was April?) about what the hell they were on the shoulders….so I ended up creating a jersey with literal banana peels in MSPaint.
Of course now
there’s really no relevance to the thread. Carry on.

Oh, and Maryland-the Crash Test Dummies want their uniforms back!
Now this is just gorgeous
The helmet is a combination of Iowa’s state fish, flower, and bird. It is a magnificent golden finch holding a pink rose in its beak against a backdrop of the blue channel cat’s glistening colors.
The jersey is of course both Iowa’s and the US’s red, white, and blue colors. Across the shoulder pads is the first two lines of Iowa’s state song, Song of Iowa, helpful to distract an opponent caught reading it.
Beneath the song is the team number, 46, which must be donned on every jersey. The 46 represents the year Iowa was founded, 1846. And tucked away in the loop of the 6, is Iowa’s state seal.
Each pant leg is unique. On the left leg is a corn cob, naturally. We can all agree that is the most logical placement. And the left sock and shoe would be green as well, to represent the stalk. However, on the right leg, cleverly, is Iowa’s state tree, THE MIGHTY OAK, A CONSTANT REMINDER OF IOWA’S STEADFAST POWER AND BEAUTY. The sock and shoe will be brown, much in the fashion of the stalk, to imitate the trunk of the tree. The beauty of this is, both the stalk and the trunk will be connected to the ground via the shoe, just like the oak and the cornstalk to connected to Iowa soil via roots.
And there you have it. A beaut.
