Yeah- what a dumb idea to use an ACTUAL CYCLONE on anything. Block letters on helmets are so unique.
Found this animated gif, so here it is for S&G. This is really a Kagavi research thing. I don't have the attention span for it.

Why? We are the Iowa State CYCLONES. Why not put a cyclone on a helmet.

Yeah I can't believe people actually hate the actual cyclone logo, imho it is the nicest one we have and it would be the perfect secondary logo. Yes we weren't good with that logo, but if that rules out using that logo, well in truth we shouldn't be using any logos and make a new one.
i have friends that went to other schools and think cyclones mean hurricanes and they are confused why we have that as our team name. If we put a twister on our helmet people meant know what a cyclone really is. Cyclones is the coolest team name out there! We should in embrace it more and market that we are ******* tornado. We should still keep the I State logo as our primary logo but throw some more clock twister in there.

I think this is perfect.
"But it features a secondary logo." Yes, but a precedent of secondary logos has been clearly established, e.g. Oklahoma State's use of their 'Pistol Pete' logo.
"But the logo comes from a dark period of ISU football." Who on earth cares? Stop with the histrionics.
The logo is simple but sleek and retro. It features our underutilized nickname clearly and isn't diluted with a bird. If the university had kept with this logo it would have become our Tigerhawk.
I like the simple top but the Jack Trice version is good too. I support moving toward an "old gold." As a side note, if you remove the logo, make the helmet solid chrome gold, and get rid of the stripes on the pants it is very similar to Notre Dame's uniforms; just replacing the blue with cardinal. And coincidentally, that creates a replica of ISU's uniforms from the early 1960's.

I love the Cyclone. I like the ****** lettering and the I State, but to me the best logos are those that are distinct in 2D, monochrome form that can be easily recognized when flashed on a tv screen for a second. The cyclone is perfect for that.
There are so many of these threads. And I love them all!
The amestoplease with the white jersey is great, and I wanted to re-up his similar red ones with tornado gold helmet and with stencil gold helmet. I think those would make the best gold helmets.

These. Please go to this gold/yellow type of helmet. And, with 2 stripes or 1 stripe down the center of the helmet too. No more cardinal helmet.
I wonder though...the stripes on the pants are similar to the Adidas stripes. Would Nike have a problem with this?

VERY NICE!! Put the I-State on the helmet and you are in business. . I like the stripe going down the pant with the white in the middle of the pant and the helmet striping. Numbers and trim are perfect also IMO. This is where the trice stripes could be on the jersey in the front in cardinal (yes- cardinal) and it would look like a much cleaner pattern( but similar to what the back of the basketball jerseys look like. If that makes sense. Well Done!!
We should scrap Cardinal helmets, we should just go to gold helmets like notre dame color and white helmets.
