New t-shirt designed by students for incoming students to commemorate the year they come to ISU. Oh, sigh.
The bugle graphic just won't go away

After that 2017 Texas game/Jacob Park fiasco, I've never wore my bugle shirt again.
It was a terrible logo before the game. Even if Jacob Park beats Texas, I still wouldn't wear it.
Death, taxes, and ISU missing the mark on design branding.
Hell, I don't remember. Thinking back I probably bought it after the game because I don't think anything with the logo was released before the game. That logo, that game, Park's play, Bailey's awful unsportsmanlike penalty that kept a TX drive alive on a 3rd down stop. It was all bad.
The shirt in general is stupid.
But Chris Williams is right. The logo isn't as bad as we all remember it on that helmet. The red logo on the white T-shirt by itself here looks fine.

The bugle is horrible no matter which way it is designed, colored, or printed! Please go away, and never appear again! Go Cyclones!
There was a lot going on that night and in the end it may have been the best thing for that season.
Very true. Next game at OU....Hello Mr Kempt
The logo was so bad whoever came up with it should have been fired.
The words are correctly spelled, but grammar check would catch that immediately. Perhaps graphic designers don’t worry about using words the right way.
That change is much deeper than we realize. Not only did Kempt save the season, but he gave us hope for the next year. THEN, when his career was over he stuck around to help a young Brick Purdy and now helping a young Rocko. THAT is love for your college and leadership.
Most of the rebranding that pollard has done (the updated Cy logos, bugle etc.) has ended up looking cartoony and gives middle school (besides i-state, that one is just meh).
All the throwback logos usage has been a result of a grassroots effort from the fans and the athletes forcing the AD to use them.
Still blows my mind that we didn't (and still don't) simply use the Orrnado logo, which we already had, as a our tornado logo instead of paying some design firm whatever we did for the bugle.
Pollard and co. are at the top of the industry in every other aspect and are perfect for ISU, but maybe thet should get some input from others on branding. The fact that we have hundreds of pages of threads on uniforms and logos speaks volumes, that and most of us have no lives (me included

I know this is going to be a hot take considering how much the first one is hated, but the one on this shirt is solid, actually. The Cardinal is all one tone and the white background makes it look cleaner overall. I'd be curious if the single tone cardinal with gold would look any better too, especially since the two color cardinal is one of the biggest complaint about the IState logo.
