In 1994 and 1995, the Iowa Hawkeyes wore these jerseys with horizontal stripes on the shoulders. I don't know that they were trying to prove. I guess they thought the stripes looked like wings. They also had the Tiger Hawk logo on the front of the jersey, with the word "Hawkeyes". This uniform was repulsive. Though these uniforms are long gone, they are still worthy of mention. Yuck. Tim Dwight is shown above in the road version of the jersey. The home black version was even worse.
When Kirk Ferentz took the head coaching job in 1999, the Hawkeyes reverted back to their simple black, gold, and white uniforms they wore in the 80's and early 90's. It was a smart move.
Goofy stuff on the shoulder pads should not be tolerated.

You're picking on poor college teams. Leave them alone already! That is not so bad. Pittsburgh Pirate barrel hats/caps are way worse than this!
I don't mind picking on poor college teams, especially if they're no longer wearing the uniform.
The Pirates had some odd combos during the days of the flat top barrel hats. All of them were pretty bad, though in 1979 I didn't know better.
These Iowa uniforms were such a step back from their old (and new) uniforms. They were not good.
