Make me.

No relativism here......I suppose that if you were from an alternate universe where crap smelled good and bad things were good....you could say this logo was good.

This logo is bad.
is that a fake universe you created where you travel to foreign lands wearing swirly bird clothing items and strangers come up to you and say "tell us about your story and your history?"

this is a classic example of something new being put out there and someone ***** on it so everyone follows them so they can be part of the cool "everything sucks" crowd. I have countless friends who sent me the new helmet yesterday saying how awesome it is and then today they are mocking it online (and in this thread)
The design sucked yesterday, it sucked today, and it will continue to suck tomorrow.

Perhaps we should all just be thankful that the cyclone shape didn't come out looking like this....

This is one of the dumbest conversations in iowa college sports history. "I hate the logo because it looks like a bugle or an upside down poop emoji. Oh so youre saying that a triangular shaped thing looks like another triangular shaped thing? You can say anything looks like anything and it will make just as much sense. Its as dumb as the ronald mcdonald argument. And no it doesnt, if someone else wouldnt have said it you wouldnt have ever thought of it. Its as dumb as the fred flintstone tigerhawk or the womens reproductive system longhorn. Its a giant stretch.

""derrrr why didnt they use the old tornado"" Whos to say they wont (they will). It looks an equal amount like the aforementioned new logo (upside down poop) and national twitter tweeters would have tweeted the same crap.

Whyd they draw it like that and not this. similar to the freakout over the new license plates, you are not a professional designer and you dont know the constrictions they have to follow to make a new logo. They have to create a logo that they can use in any number of situations with colors that work in any number of situations. This wasnt a sit down and design a logo with no thought and say here it is.

This reminds me of all the hate the I State logo got and now people cry because they think its going away. Get used to it, we are going to have several new helmet logos in the next few years. Some you will like, others you wont. Shut up and stop crying about it and be thankful you have an athletic dept. willing to try new things and put up with a fan base of whiney crybabies that cry about logos they dont like.......

Oh and btw. THe players like it and thats what matters.

Quite a few players don't like it at all.

I hated it the second I saw it and thought it was a joke. Seriously, a joke.

It's too cartoony and bulky. Trim it up, give it some sharper curves or something. IDK i just don't care for it. First text between myself and my father was that I didn't think I liked the new logos.

The logo blows. I'm not sure why people would hate on it so they could fit in and be "cool".

This logo sucks so bad. I can not stop thinking about how bad it is. I have yet to read a response that validates its worthiness. This is conspiracy level type of stuff here. There is no way a rational human being with any design knowledge would think this is acceptable. I award this person 0 points and may god have mercy on his or her soul.

The most perplexing part about the logo is Chris and Woody think it is acceptable. The last people on earth that I would expect to like something like this. The only reasonable explanation is they know someone close to them that designed it like a friend/family or their boss.

I like logos with a subliminal message in it. How bout a tornado with a submiminal JT or 37 in it.

That's what gets me. I'm in my 20s and I think I have like 10 different shades of red Iowa State clothing over the years. I really don't know what we are. Cardinal, Crimson, Maroon, idk.

I really don't like it. But I talked to several younger and they loved it. One was a former player. It actually looks better on some shirts I saw. But wouldn't hurt my feelings if it goes away with the hawk banana peel shoulder stripes.
