Yes, I get that Iowa is usually behind any fashion trend, football unis or otherwise, but can black go out of style?
This is meant to be rhetorical. I know those of us have their opinions on the black one way or the other.
Consider these points: 1) We have used the black quite a bit in the past two years, prior, but we haven't used them yet this year (still early, but one big game, Baylor). 2) Our black is fairly unique, in that it is only black, off-white, and silver. They did not try to add a lot, or even a touch of school color anywhere. That is the unique part. IMO, some other schools doing black maybe put too much of their school color in with the black (blue, red, orange, yellow, green, etc.). Then they might have too much white also. The contrast sometimes doesn't look great. At all.
I like the black as we have it, and hope it is used now in lesser moderation. We'll see. It is probably best left alone, without any school color. I personally wouldn't mind seeing a touch of very dark red in there somewhere, but not the gaudy stuff we see other teams doing.
