I wonder what would happen if the new trophy were to go missing just before the end of the game and a totally different, and much cooler trophy were to take its place and be touted by the winning players across the field?

Am I the only one who misses the original trophy? Sure, it was plain and could have been assembled by any 8th grader with a C or above in shop class...but at least it had some history behind it and was notable for its quirkiness. This new one just looks like any other fabricated, boring trophy.
I hope the real one comes out better than the picture. In the pic Hawk looks mad and ready to play and Cy looks like he sad and afraid to look at hawk
Worst part about the trophy is Cy looks pretty queer in it.
Chin being tucked into his chest doesn't really scream "ready to battle."

This is the one I voted for, and it's an improvement. I still hope that the actual trophy is better looking than it looks as drawn.
I'm not a big fan of the new "comic-character" looking Cy figure to start with. He at least needs to lose those squirrely boots and have his bird feet/talons back.
NEVER FORGET!

I didn't vote, because I don't think it really matters.
Did anyone else notice the word "concept" above each choice on the voting page? That allows them an out when the real thing doesn't quite look like the drawings.
Anyone else assume that the farmer on the old trophy was the grandfather, the woman is the farmer's daughter and the two kids are clearly her illegitimate children? That's no family. That's a tragedy.
As far as the old trophy goes, I was a little angered when we went and put the newer logo on it (when we finally got it back after 15 looooooong years...) Why mess with a trophy, especially for sponsorship?
The bottom line to me is that a rivalry trophy should never be sponsored. If you want to sponsor the game and call it the Iowa Corn CyHawk Game, great. But many people have made a great point here, what happens when the sponsor bails in 5 years? Do we just have a constant stream of new sponsors and a new trophy?
The old trophy wasn't the greatest in college football or anything, but it had history and meant a lot to fans and players from both schools. The fact that they sold out and changed it at all is a shame.

This lengthy process shows they'd probably never create anything very good.

Clearly some hawkeye fan designed the thing, having never seen corn up close.
