When Hayden Fry came to Iowa in 1979 , Iowa had like a hundred losing seasons in a row

first thing Hayden Fry said , if you're going to play like champions , you're going to look like champions , well , in 1979 , the NFL champions were the Pittsburg Steelers

and seeing how the Hawkeye color were already black and yellow , it was a easy look to adapt

but yeah , it's well known the Hawkeyes copied the Pittsburg Stealers in 1979 , and have never looked back

#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
