@jdoggivjc didn't design that version of the walking Cy. That's one of my interpretations of a modern walking Cy.

Thank you, @Draf
It's one of my favorites. Great update of the classic walking Cy with McCarney's blender bird. And the intimidating talons look way better than those horrible clodhoppers.
All but the last one. I never liked Bucky Badger Cy.
If you want to update one of these, why not try out the talons on Bucky Badger Cy on Walking Cy in place of his clodhopper shoes?
Draf, I had not noticed your rendition here until just now (I'm sure I did, but forgot). Really good job! The Walking CY is 'back in the news' since amestoplease came out with his on Friday.
As others have said, we have enough talent right here on CF. I think the AD (Athletic Dept.) should listen to our ideas!
As far as the Walking CY, we could have a poll (I'm not going to do one) on: which head, which body, which arms, which legs/feet (boots), are preferred. Haha. I think (subject to change, of course) that I prefer the head on the 3rd CY here. The 2nd one here looks more like the Louisville Cardinals (maybe)(without pulling it up). The 4th one reminds me too much of our current BuckyCy. I'd rather get past that.
Oklahoma State changed/updated their uniforms a bit. Look pretty solid to me:

Always impressed by OSU's uni's, basketball and football (not every combo but the majority of them). They incorporate old logo's/designs with modern touches very well.
They changed so much, they look like Oklahoma State now.
Agreed. Wish we could incorporate some of our classic logos and designs.
Those OK State threads are excellent.
They generally have good combos (sheriff's badge OSU logo notwithstanding)

Seems like we are always a few years behind when it comes to uniforms
A++ for Ok State - classic old school look with some new school elements
OSU has done a wonderful job with their uniforms. Best gear in the Big XII IMO.
As far as the "cheapness" of the past or current throwbacks, I am sure they have not wanted to spend as much on a one off uniform that will be worn 1 time vs regular full season uniforms.
Thus, they cut some corners on the material etc. How much of a difference that is, I dont know. I also wonder sometimes the amount of time available to get them made effects the quality of the finish as well.
These are just guesses but I can see them being part of the issue.
Overall those of us on here that look at things with a microscope are probably a small minority of the entire fanbase that notices/cares about the quality of the uniforms.

OSU Logo v I-State, Cowboys v Cyclones, Pistol Pete v Walking CY, Sherrif's Badge v Cynado. What could be, if we did similar to OSU!
We basically only use 1 logo (I'm not even counting BuckyCy or his head), v the Cowboys' 4+.
I think the 'door is open', we just need to walk through it. The 'window is open', we will likely 'fall out of it'. That's probably what we'll do, fall out! LOL
