Kirk Ferentz and the Iowa football team have utilized an annual alternate uniform in big games to amp up the team and help attract recruits.
Alternate uniforms are not new territory for a school like Oregon who uses several of them throughout the season, but Iowa has typically stood by their classic home and away jerseys.
At the end of June, they revealed a gold alternate uniform that will be worn against Penn State on October 12. It’s definitely something I personally did not expect. I thought they might do another black jersey but these gold uniforms look sharp.
