Here I am walking through the O'Hare Airport when I see a guy wearing a Nike "Cyclones" gray shirt. I say "Go State" as I walk buy and he stops and looks at me weird.

I then notice the "B" on the sleeve meaning Brooklyn Cyclones.

Wow I feel like an idiot sometimes...

That's kind of like what happened to me the other day. I saw a car with a license plate frame that said Go Hawks, so I rammed into them. Turns out it was just the local high school.

Whoops.

I've had the opposite happen to me. Someone has seen me wear Cyclone gear and have said "Hey Brooklyn!" To which I'm sure I returned a blank stare and "uhh, no.."

How does a small community college get in with Nike, when our school wont even let us put our name on a keychain.

Brooklyn Cyclones are a Class A baseball team affiliated with the Mets, not a CC.

I can't tell if your being sarcastic or not...but we have one of the better Nike deals in the country.

I got a "Go Cyclones" this past week in downtown Chicago walking with my block letter "Iowa State" shirt. We are everywhere...

Now if only I ran into a few less Hawkeyes everywhere :skeptical:


Still entertained by my last encounter with one though who turned around to say "Go Hawks" and walked into someone :biglaugh:

Yeah, there are a ton of Hawkeyes in Chicago, but I see less than I used to.

I just noticed that if you combine this thread, with the one about reducing population, and you just "ahem" eliminated the entire hawkeye fanbase, you could kill like two birds with one stone.

I'm just sayin'...
