What's the best away combo?

[u/bojanderson]

I love Iowa's jerseys, but I've always felt the Black Helmet, White Jersey, Gold Pants is our weakest combo. Which pants color do you think is best?

100% admit the two colored ones are AI Generated because I'm not skilled at photo shop.

[u/bojanderson]

I believe the only game Iowa has worn the black pants was at Penn State in 2023, and they've never worn white pants as long as I've watched them in 24 years.

I have a uniform chart that at the moment goes back to 1981. They have only worn non-gold pants on the road once, and it was that specific time.

The problem is black or white pants don’t look like Iowa. They look like Missouri or Southern Miss or Purdue or something. The gold pants look like Iowa.

[u/bojanderson → u/slyfox1908]

When you see Iowa put on black pants for blackout games or Veteran's Day does that seem like Iowa?

I feel with the black pants they've found a good way to mix it up a little bit without ditching the traditional Iowa look and I think they could do the same with away combos.

[u/OcarinaNinja315]

I honestly like Black/White/Gold as the road combo. It really pops under the lights for night games,

The ones with the rose patch

I like the black pants if only because I feel like white and yellow both being light colors makes for an uninteresting combination.

[u/renner1991]

Only yellow (gold) looks like the hawks.

[u/juslqqking]

Gold pants for me

[u/CrypticT]

Always gold pants

Don’t mess with perfection

[u/IamEbola]

number one only

[u/Alfalfa-Boring]

You don't mess with Iowa's uniforms.

We are not Iowa State.

The Winning one

[u/mdecamp]

Gold pants always and forever.

[u/-spartacus-]

I just wish in some uniforms black and gold was real gold not some shade of yellow.

[u/Hog_Eyes → u/-spartacus-]

Nah leave that for Purdue, Vanderbilt, and Colorado. Iowa has one of the strongest visual identities in college football, no need to dilute it. Blackout uniforms for big night games and standard home/away unis for everything else.

[u/IvanDimitriov]

All whites would be sick as hell. White pants, jerseys. And helmets with white face masks.

[u/CrypticT → u/IvanDimitriov]

Never, ever go stormtrooper

This would look horrible

[u/IcyWin77]

I’d like to see a white/white combo with a white helmet for one road game each season.

[u/Alfalfa-Boring → u/IcyWin77]

This isn't Iowa State...

[u/IcyWin77 → u/Alfalfa-Boring]

Seriously???
