In an age in which teams swap alternate uniforms as easily as a pair of socks, it seems odd that football teams once wore the same uniform game after game, home and away.
great stuff! another great read! i will always love the story of the sneakers game in 1934 at the polo grounds when they went to the gymnasium of manhattan college at halftime to get sneakers! Ed Danowski and Harry Newman the Quarterbacks! HOFers Mel Hein, Morris "Red" Bagro, Ken Strong, Ray Flaherty
Love this! Kinnick stadium is still a tough place to play. I also love the tradition of waving to all the sick kids between the third and fourth quarters. College football and the traditions it has makes it better than the pro game to me. Hands down. Have 2 more years and I’ll be getting an RV and going to a home game for every SEC team. There are a few other schools I wouldn’t mind visiting too but right now it’s the SEC as that’s my conference being a Bama fan. Which isn’t really a strong enough term but I haven’t found a better word yet.
The shoulders of the green uniforms look bright white to me. I think the change was made to make the pass receivers more visible to the passer. It was November, and it can get a little bit dark late in the game. A clip from this game is shown on the video board at each Iowa home game while the audio of Kinnick's Heisman acceptance speech is played, just before the National Anthem.

It should be spelled "Nile Kinnick"?
TY. Fixed

Loved this. Great research and even video examples.
