I have no problem with taking it off the helmets and mid-court/field, but still don't understand why the current logo can't be put on the 35's or in the endzones.

Personally i love the new unis and helmets. It is time to start over and we rnt getting rid of cy hes still our mascot. Plus u look at every other ncaa teams helmets, there designs r so simple and thats what its all about...simple and recongnizable. Great decision.
Because you don't see Bucky or Herky on the 35's or endzones. That's what Cy is now - a merchandising logo only.
I guess I should have implied that I'm not opposed to whirlybird Cy being on the 35's, endzones, or even between the arc and paint on the bball court. I'd actually like to see it - I'm just not expecting it to happen.
Bad argument, all those teams have a classic design that is their recognizable symbol. ISU has about 10 different symbols it uses, it is time to pick a single one.
I guess my point is rather simple. I don't care if we make the official logo a rubber chicken with a rocket in it's butt (see another popular thread and thanks, TT for the laugh), but whatever it is needs to have the commitment of not only the AD and FB coach, but it should be adopted by the university as a whole. I think the biggest fear coming from the "save Cy" group is the possibility of another change within the next couple decades. I don't mind seeing new uniforms and helmets - it's a natural progression. The primary mark change should be the only significant issue and I hope that the ISU president and administration is on board with keeping it around.
Look what happened to the Big Hat Cowboy at Nebraska. They essentially usurped him with Lil Red, a blow up doll that looks really weird. That team has been only average since then.
What will happen tous if we lose Cy? Get worse? He won the toughest mascot and he got shot down fr being good. Poor Cy. Replaced with a stupid I. That sounds very singular.

Roads?!? Where were going we don't need roads.
All we need to do is get Cy in a delorean and slap that on the side of the helmet.
I remember reading an article about a year after the "Cy" logo was introduced talking about how much excitement it generated and the large increase in merchandise sales.
I am for keeping the "Cy" logo. IMO the amount of success we've had with it is irrelevant. With that being said, McCarney's era is arguably the best in history if you are judging my bowl appearances.
The "Cy" logo looks fresh to me. Our new uni's and logo look like they are straight out of the 70's, which is fine if you like that kind of thing.
With all that being said........I think this "savecy" effort will get nowhere and we'll just have to get used to the new logo/colors. Too much has gone into making the change to turn back.

I-STATE.
Where's that? Iowa? Illinois? Indiana? IDAHO?
Gee, I guess I-STATE won't be confused with OHIO anymore.
"Where the _ell did that Redbird go anyway?"

It's not so much of what the tradition was on the old CY, but what it was unreconizable to recruits. They didn't know if it was us Illinois State or Louisville. And it did suck when they tried to minimize our logo and put it on television for games.
