New Cy-hawk Trophy

**cyguytillidie** · 09-07-2012, 05:56 PM

Someone make a petition.
We'll traffic it through this site and the hok sites. Get this disaster of a trophy destroyed. Then let the fans actually make designs and send them in. Iowa Corn's "designers" obviously need to stay away from the drawing boards and get back to the fields. (I understand that last sentence comes off very ignornant)

Looks like a winner...I'm cool with it

**Ummy** · 09-07-2012, 06:02 PM

Looks better from a distance than the close up picture. Cy and Herky look really bizarre though. I give it a resounding shrug.

It's a junk design. I wish they just would have kept the dumpy old one if this was the replacement.

The Iowa Corn Growers said "If you don't like the pewter family, screw you we're making the new trophy out of lead!"

THIS. The only way ISU will be able to hoist the trophy over their heads is with an actual hoist. Is this thing filled with re-bar and concrete??? This trophy could have been made half the weight.

I guess Iowa Corn doesn't want the trophy to be carried/rushed out onto the field. Instead of hoisting it above their heads in the middle of Kinnick, Cyclone players were figuring out proper hand placement so it wouldn't tip over and break like last time. Then again, I'm sure most of these guys bench that much and more, so it shouldn't have been that difficult.

Design-wise, I always figured the mascot design would look cartoonish, and that's exactly what we got. I would have preferred the Trice/Kinnick style instead, but at least the artwork looks well-finished.

6.5/10

I am going to laugh when this thing gets dropped and makes a foot deep hole in one of the fields.

I took a picture of my son with the temporary trophy at the fair this year. He can't wait tor next years fair to get a picture with this years trophy. I told him we will make it an annual tradition. When we visited the Hawk booth I wanted him to ask where their trophies were but I'm trying to teach him to not be a dick.

The Hawks locker room is getting crowded with the empty trophy cases and gold plated toilet that Doyle the meathead drags in after each loss for them to flush away the stench of their performance. Maybe they can get a trophy for the Central Michigan game.

Some one in the post game thread posted a pose picture of Knott and Lenz holding the trophy. Probably not the greatest picture, but I do like the significance to it.

**MLawrence** · 09-09-2012, 02:17 PM

Here is the picture I was talking about:

And this posted by Lenz on Twitter:
