I agree with the 76-78 helmet I wish we used that one over our current one.

I think we should go with the helmet we had the best winning percentage with. That would be 9/16/07. We had 100% then we dropped it. :jimlad:

Keep the current one and add a small '67 Cy right above the facemask. Then get busy winning games and never change the helmet again.

Okay, who has actual game images of the 1986? I do not remember a no logo year and the media guide from 1987 shows a logo on the helmet which would be from the previous season. Did this happen for 1 game? Or, did the makers of this list use the schedule card as a model from 1986, but that card clearly is from the spring game.

I admit I don't remember the no-logo helmet, and I had student tickets during that period. It had to be a one-game-only. I did miss a game or two that season and might have not realized they used it.

I have never remembered seeing the 1986 helmet except in the 1986 spring game. I am going to need photo evidence to convince me it ever happened.

My favorite helmet is the Earle Bruce era from '76-'78.



Those were great times to be a cyclone when we were winning 24 games over that 3 year period along with two bowl berths.


Iowa State has never done better than that or ever will equal what Earle Bruce accomplished over that three year span.


Thanx Earle for all you did for ISU football fans.

I don't know if its been mentioned, but didn't Criner have a goofy policy where players had white or gold or red helmets depending on who had a good game the week before?
