Yes, it is, although it is clearly yellow. Notre Dame and Purdue have actual gold.
Still, Iowa - just like ISU - calls it gold.
My favorite uniforms USED to be Colorado ...
Now I think they suck ... like so many others that tried to make them more modern :no:

Don't believe he was mocking the Marine Corps, believe he was mocking the poster who said uniforms don't matter and used the Marine Corps as an example where uniforms DO matter.
Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, is it...
from the article said:
He was making fun of the fact that we were "planning" on wearing the shiny gold pants, which is something we've never worn since we went to this uniform style. But continue being the hypocrite you usually are on this site. You know, mocking ISU for "stealing" USC's uniforms when Iowa stole the Steelers' uniforms decades ago, mocking ISU for wearing gold pants when Iowa wears the exact same color, ripping on ISU fans for being "too obsessed" with Iowa when your daily post average on this Cyclone fan site is amongst the highest of all members...
They're clearly labeled after USC's, that's clearly obvious to anyone who looks at the two. ISU went to the red pants on the road this year, other than that they're very similar.
I don't think I've ever said Iowa didn't model their uniforms after the Steelers; in fact it's well known that when Hayden arrived he asked Chuck Knoll for permission to do it. In other words - no ****.
I said Iowa wears yellow pants...maybe you missed that. Or maybe you read it and just neglected to mention it.
Extreme qualification fail.
Remind me what Iowa's colors are again? OLD GOLD and black. Not yellow. GOLD. And it doesn't matter if Fry asked for permission - they're a direct ripoff, which still makes Iowa fans look like gigantic ****** bags for ripping on ISU fans for "modeled" uniforms.
So does that mean that ISU should switch to the gold pants, since the official ISU colors are cardinal and gold? Or should they switch the official colors to cardinal and yellow?
Iowa modeled their uniforms after the Steelers. ISU modeled their after USC's. I agree with you on this.
We have worn the Cardinal pants on the road since we switched to the new unis.

No, I'm just telling you to quit being a hypocrite in mocking ISU for wearing gold pants when Iowa wears the same colored pants...
Their similar, but, the shade of gold in the mock up is MUCH shinier and closer to the type of gold that Pitt is wearing right, rather than the shade of gold that ISU uses, which is the same shade of gold that Iowa uses. Both are clearly "yellow", but both schools call it gold.
There's a lot of variation to the color 'gold'. The pants in question, as well as colors like Notre Dame's helmet, I'd call 'metallic gold'.
USC also has gold as an official school color. I think ours is pretty darn close to theirs.
You're right though, Iowa's is definitely yellow.

I've said Iowa wears yellow pants...twice...in this thread. Maybe you should scroll up and find those posts, since you obviously missed them.
I always liked the green alternate jerseys for Notre Dame
I've also always liked Auburn's jerseys (just not their taste in coaches)
I also agree with the Army jerseys. I'd never want to play them in a week they wore those.

Texas road uni's look like girls in long underwear when they play on astroturf or fieldturf. Too tighty whitey for me.
Although I dislike Michigan, their classic and bold look is top 3. Although I hate Nebraska, their uni's stand the test of time as a classic and simple standard. Of course, USC and ISU(2001 and 2009) look great, but Harvard looks better. The Blue gold of Notre Dame, Pitt, Navy (and st. louis Rams) is the Best IMO.

Marshall's jerseys- classy
Texas Tech's all black jerseys dating back to the early 2000's, ie Wes Welker and Kliff Kingsbury
