Starting in 1924, the tradition of Homecoming buttons began with each year featuring a unique design that reflected the vibrant Hawkeye spirit of that time. Over the last century, these buttons have become cherished collectors items for Hawkeyes worldwide, each celebrating the University of Iowa’s rich history and cherished traditions.
The university proudly displays all 100 buttons in the Iowa Memorial Union and on the Homecoming website. This special collection reflects the creativity, passion, and pride of the Hawkeye community through the decades.

As we celebrate this century-long legacy, we look forward to the next 100 years of Homecoming traditions and Hawkeye triumphs! Go Hawks!
