You can't visit the University of Iowa without getting a shirt. Everybody here has UI gear of some sort. If you're out and about on the weekends here, you would notice that at least half of the people are wearing an Iowa shirt or hat or coat. Their cars have UI license plate covers, the Hawkeye symbol can even be found on door mats and even garden rocks!! It is close to the point of being ridiculous, but I have also fallen into the trap.
Every member of our little family has at least one Iowa T-shirt. Rick has an Iowa hat to keep him warm in the below zero temperatures. I have a cozy black Iowa hoodie. And, as ridiculous as I think this black and yellow mania is, guess what we got my parents for Christmas!!!
So, when you come visit us in Iowa (which we are hoping you will), don't forget your shirt!!!
