Fine. I admit it. I DO want the 1990s Cynado logo to come back.

[BigJCy]

But no blue in it. I’m almost positive the one CMC had on his sweatshirt had black in place of the blue. The blue is god awful!

I don't really love or hate the logo but agree no Blue!

 

[awd4cy]

My biggest gripe is stick with a shade of red. There’s bright red apparel, maroon, and everything in between.

 

[trevn]

I don't have a strong opinion on our jerseys, but I've never really like our helmets. I'd love to go back to the script Cyclones, just with different color variations.

 

[Drew0311]

I want the old logo with our new darker cardinal color instead of the red

To go with this idea, every sport needs a retro game. Football should have 9 "normal" games, a Jack Trice game, a retro game, and a blackout game.

With some of your comments ... no. No modifications. Give me 100% garish or give me death.

If the Big 12 is going to be the fun cocaine conference, they should lean into this. Why not have a national primetime basketball game that is aired with retro 1970s graphics, the team wears 1970s uniform logos and, yes, even TJ comes out wearing plaid bell bottom pants and a huge collar shirt unbuttoned down to the navel and an afro wig.

Just picture it.

If we do have a retro game, I have enough old gear to clothe half the stadium.

The blender bird isn't a bad concept but if it were used again, needs a less cartoony look.
I forget the history of why this won't work logistically but it's the best imo for a helmet decal.

 

[JM4CY]

I don’t hate it but it’s because of the nostalgia when I see it.

 

[cykadelic2]

Yeah, I think this would look good on a white helmet once or twice a season:

 

[Letterkenny]

For the life of me I can't figure out how 100% of people don't want this:

 

[HFCS]

90s stuff is coming back in style.

I even saw a young celeb A list actress wearing black Adidas Samba indoor soccer shoes with white ankle socks.

 

[CascadeClone]

(with or without the script Iowa State)

I despise the tertiary blue.

 

[RonBurgundy]

Maybe the minority, but I like the block I State logo. Simple, classic, easy to read. We need to stick with something. Once we make the CFP this year, everyone will know this logo.

 

[TitanClone]

Homefield, Charlie Hustle and Rally House all have decent collections with old logos.

‘fun cocaine conference’??

This would be such a recognizable brand. Like the tiger hawk or power cat. We really need to lean into our unique name.

That masterful piece of logo design has been sneakily appearing around Ames lately. Rocco wears a hat with that logo and you can see it elsewhere. With Campbell also occasionally wearing vintage logos, I think the time is ripe. Why wouldn't we want to remember the good old days? Coach Mac? Fizer? That great game against Nebraska in 1997.

Yes, it is time to bring back the Cynado logo.

Ah, but to be clear, it's still awful. But for the kids these days, it's so awful it's good. No different than some retro logos for the other schools. See: UCF's Citronaut, UCONN's depressed/confused husky, etc. You know you want it. Admit it.

I only mean to bring it back in the context of having a retro helmet once in a while. I'm still surprised ISU hasn't done such a simple thing. It's literally a sticker change. Rotate between the Cynado, walking Cy, and throw in some 1970s and 1980s logos too. Maybe one or two games a year.

This. I’m not really in favor of a full on logo change. Unless it is an updated 80s tornado I guess. I just don’t see what the problem is with changing out the helmet decals a few games a year. Like one road game one home game. It wouldn’t cost much. And we have some cool old logos.

 

[CYCLNST8]

Yay! Another logos argument thread!

Block I-State isn't sexy, but it's effective in its simplicity. I vote to keep it as our primary logo for the sake of consistency. Now if only we could get rid of the damned beveling:


And these need to be our secondary logos:

(sorry for the different shades of gold)

We should have a throwback theme for every homecoming. Jack Trice, Dirty 30, Earle Bruce, Troy Davis, Insight Bowl, etc.

I’d say bring back this logo (to replace the beer-belly Cy that nobody other than JP actually likes), but replace the darker tint of Cardinal with black

 

[CYCLNST8]

I think this would look great on a gold helmet shell:

 

[KnappShack]

AI, design me a cartoon-ish logo that is really busy, doesn't work on TV, ugly AF, and only people who **** themselves in the 90s would like....
