Was Hamilton one of the students that help to create Hearts of Oak and maybe helped design the uniforms?

There's the high possibility, but no confirmation. The Hearts of Oak were initially called “The Corsicans”, and according to Newton's findings Hamilton, Fish, and Troup were some of the original members of the militia group before the name was changed;

John C. Hamilton, however, said that Alexander Hamilton, Robert Troup, and Nicholas Fish were in a militia company called the Hearts of Oak. But the Hearts of Oak do not appear on the catalog of New York militia companies from August 9, 1775. On August 28, 1775, Edward Fleming was appointed Deputy Adjutant General for the New York Department. With this promotion, Fleming was no longer able to command the Corsicans. On a list of militia companies dated September 14, 1775, the Corsicans no longer show up but there appears out of nowhere the “Hearts Oak,” or “Hearts of Oak” as it was called in a subsequent list. John Berrian, who had been a lieutenant in the Corsicans, was captain of the Hearts of Oak. Frederick Jay, John Jay's younger brother, who had been second lieutenant of the Corsicans, became first lieutenant of the Hearts of Oak. With two former Corsicans taking command of the Hearts of Oak and John C. Hamilton putting Hamilton, Fish, and Troup in the company, it is clear that the Corsicans sometime between August 9 and September 14 became the Hearts of Oak, either by changing its name or by the members of the old company forming a new one. Thus, Hamilton served first in the Corsicans and afterwards in the Hearts of Oak.

With that being said, the iconic green uniforms, leather hats with “Freedom or Death” inscribed on them, weren't adopted until after the change of name; “They assumed the name “Hearts of Oak,” and wore a green uniform surmounted by a leathern hat on which was inscribed “Freedom or Death.”” [x] Additionally, these uniforms were designed by the members themselves. So, Hamilton would have been one of the students with the chance of helping with the design, but there is no concrete confirmation he did. Especially since no such mention is located in Troup's reminiscence, or JCH's biographies of his father.
