Alternate Unis This Year?

[Horny4Hawkeyes]

I recall Kirk mentioning more alternates in upcoming years after the well-received blackouts last year. Has there been any confirmation or leaks?

Haven't seen or heard anything but would guess either this weekend for the homecoming celebration or NW for military appreciation?

I recall a similar statement being made earlier in the year as well, although I remember it being a definitive "yes". Haven't seen anything regarding them though.

Northwestern is the black out game so if it happens it'll be then

 

[bs85jd88]

Would we ever do this for an away game?

 

[Robster Raws]

Alternate jerseys will be same exact ones as now, but will actually cover shoulder pads at all times, absent a violent shoulder first ground collision.

I would love to use throwback gold helmets, gold jerseys and white pants for a home game.

 

[QChawks]

I heard it's going to be the banana peel jersey's for Northwestern

 

[JStandefer]

With the new helmets ($1000 ea), it will be difficult to do alternate uniforms unless we keep our existing helmets.

There's a company that does wraps over existing helmets. I'm guessing this is the route they go.

Apparently it costs a lot of money to do alts. The football program may need donations to get it done. Times are tough. So very tough.

Was KF’s statement about alt uniforms before or after the new helmet announcement?

I may be the only guy this side of Tahiti that actually liked the banana peel jerseys...says a lot about my wardrobe I suppose...

No

Would love to see the unis worn for last years OSU game or the unis from the Minny game a few years ago

Banana peel jersey's? Say it ain't so.

So we need to sell 1600 tickets to the game to cover it. That's chump change. You realize Iowa makes north of $4,000,000 for a sold out home game.

Could be or maybe Nebraska. Northwestern will be the Veterns Day helmets we always wear.

this would solve a lot of the concussion problems.

this would solve a lot of the concussion problems.

Players would quit leading with their heads, helmets.

Alternate units for Northwestern? Is Iowa that desperate?

Banana peels were the best. Ahead of their time for sure. Would love to see a modern day Nike version.

That's not how the athletic department works. Yes, football generates that kind of revenue that is utilized to fund the other sport programs that are hemoraging money.
