yep, forgot i was going to change that.

I like the socks incorporating the Jack Trice stripes. However, some players don't wear long socks (some where the leggings basketball players use under their pants). Curious if that would affect the overall look of the jersey?

Maybe incorporating the Jack Trice stripes on the pants (not the entire length, but higher up on the leg) would have the same effect?

The coaches seem to like the tornado.

Nice shirt. Wonder where you can buy one. Asking for a friend.

I think we should do something where we incorporate both Cy and the tornado. Perhaps have a whirlwind of a tornado with Cy popping out of the top. I don't know if people would recognize that as being ISU though, so maybe we could have Cy holding onto a sign that says Iowa State, or Cyclones, or ISU...something simple like that. With only cardinal and gold, it might be difficult to make out what is going on. We may need an accent color to help differentiate the funnel from everything else. I think navy blue would look good.

One of the best posts on here lately...great stuff! I laughed so hard...thanks! Outstanding!

Always like amestoplease mocks, ideas. Thank you Don't like the striped socks, personally. Like the simplicity otherwise, and agree about the Trice stripes.
I don't think they will switch our primary yellow gold to ISU historical gold though, I could be wrong.

No I love the tornado. I love walking Cy. I love the I state logo...

However, I don't think you have to limit yourself to choosing one to go on the helmet. My comment was directly related to the side of the helmet logo.

I it has to be an updated tornado so be it. But it has to be a usable logo. The I-State just isn't good a helmet. Think Longhorn, Powercat, Spartan. A monochromatic easily recognizable LOGO.

I am thinking more like the O-State logo. M for Minnesota. W for Wisconsin. NC logo for North Carolina. N for Nebraska. O for Oregon. Etc., etc. Far more recognizable Letter Logos that are classics versus what you are suggesting. Success on the field is the biggest issue facing any logo. That is our biggest issue. IMO the I-State logo had gone over much better than previous attempts.

I think Texas Longhorns fans would describe their logo as a classic. And Oregon and Wisconsin's logos aren't even as old as the Tigerhawk. Not sure if you've noticed but oSu uses Pistol Pete often now. But none of that matters if you can't read what the logo is supposed to say which is the case for the I-State logo. As a patch or on a t-shirt it's great but it's way too busy on helmet. The I by itself would work much better than spelling out state over it.

Its hard for you to read this logo on the helmet? I think its pretty clear what it says?

On a white hat, sort of. On a red hat, no.

So you typically observe the logo from this distance? What position do you play? I'm looking from the stands or TV.

It's not a good logo. There is a reason most logos don't have all this text which is it's hard to read.

Crystal Clear.

Iowa State has the unique situation of being the "Cyclones" and has a mascot that is a "Cardinal" that is called Cy the Cyclone.
