I've got a 2001 Vintage ISU paintball jersey with the whirly bird in blue. I'll fit right in rocking that thing in my tailgate this weekend.

And definitely the best shirt the club ever made:

honestly if we just put black in where their is blue it makes all of this stuff better. I never understood the blue. Putting black in where there is blue would make all these logos so much better.

I know I'm getting old when people are clamoring for Champion gear. That was poor people clothes when I was young. o_O
96’ champion hooded sweatshirts were the bomb. Iowa had the navy champion hooded sweatshirts I can’t remember an Iowa State equivalent…

I think Champion is regarded as being a good brand again. I think I read an article or heard a podcast about it, which I'll never find but this article sounds similar to what I recall seeing.


I have a heavyweight Champion reverse weave hoodie from the early 2000s that is one of the best pieces of ISU apparel I've ever owned. It's super comfortable, warm as hell, and really durable. Only these last couple years have the cuffs really frayed, but unfortunately the elbows have worn through so its days are numbered. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat if I could.
Yep I have champion hooded sweatshirts from that era not even frayed and hundreds of times each for 25+ years. They were pricey but then they dropped quality and price and brand went to **** for a while.

This is the best even though the team sucked at the time.

A close second is the current I-State

Cy in most any form is cool, Except the Bird in a blender.

Also turd swirling is not good.

Definitely our best. Anything with Cy on it never made sense to me. Are we the birds? No, we are the cyclones. Have a damn cyclone logo then.

They probably wanted to do that but then people lost their minds saying black is owned by TOE.

Exactly. I have no problem with them bringing the logo back, but putting it on BLUE t-shirts is asinine.

Serious question - does any school have as many different logos and colors as us in the past 100+ years? The irony is that we use the ones most loved (running Cy, leaning Cy, sport specific Cy, etc) the least and they go as well with the current logo as anything we have.

Then we do crap like these hated logo reboots and push more merch out into the world to muddy the waters and our branding/identity even more. I don't understand how it's a good thing.
