To be honest this is my favorite helmet/logo. I love the white version too. Now do an opposite version on a cardinal or black just for kicks, if anyone is able. I am currious.No that's fine. I liked certain things about those unis. I just hope we don't go back to the brighter red. I think we still have the brighter yellow (or close to it)(it's not gold). I would like our yellow a lot more if we added our old 70's gold, or sunflower gold, as well. It would be such an easy solution to use both.
And yes, the helmet with the old Cyclones script on it is great. But make it the right shade of cardinal & gold (if you were to do a gold helmet, which I now don't think we should do)(unless you want to purchase and fit 4 helmets per player!). Here is an example of the wrong way/color, mostly the red (too bright, ie, Criner/Walden)(the gold is close to the sunflower gold)..

I messed around with this one below, many months ago, darkening the red only. It's so much better, IMO. The gold still needs tweaking some, but I never got around to it, after deciding we don't need a gold helmet. [I may make a gold helmet yet, just for fun, and this would be fairly close.]..

To be clear, if we do this old style 'Cyclones' helmet, or alternate logos on the helmet, it should be an alternate. I'm one who believes we should keep the present I-State logo as primary, for a number of reasons.
Since I don't advocate a gold helmet anymore, the 'Cyclones' cursive would work nicely on the white helmet (permanently, or once in a while). And that would be pretty new (and cool) in itself.

I have always liked this, and the Orr-nado without any wording, or the slight updated version that Kadavi did. I think those are our best logos.
