I generally like most logos and don't have any I hate. The current I State is my favorite and here is why.
Growing up in the 80s and 90s, it hugged the hell out of me that any could doodle the ugly tiger hawk. Graffiti, on school desks, in notebooks, in the dust on a dirty van, peeing in the snow. What could I doodle as a cyclone fan? Cyclones in script? Ooh cursive wow. Like it on jerseys, but it's not graffiti worthy.
Anyone can doodle Iowa State. Havent seen it in the snow, but it can be anywhere. And it was risky, would people confuse us with Illinois State, Indiana State or Idaho State? But the answer is NO. Iowa State athletics has arrived!!! People know us. If any school has a similar logo, their fans are the ones who get to roll their eyes when they get mistaken for an Iowa State fan.
This logo, and the Tailgate your have made it cool to grow up a Cyclone fan. Not an outcast. You don't have to fear that you need to be a Hawk to have friends.
Never get rid of it.
