The Helmet Project
We've had a lot of different helmet designs through the years. I sort of like the one from '81-'82.
I notice as the weather gets colder, the "old" logo stuff seems to come our more. I know I am one of these because it is hard to find warmer winterish jackets. Nike doesn't make one. Lightweight stuff but not really warm stuff like I'd like to wear to November games.
What is worse try finding a gold jacket. We had one of the golden rules games late in the year a couple of years ago. Couldn't find a gold jacket anywhere. Of couse I live in CR so it is harder yet.
I thnk people are willing, especially t-shirts, sweatshirts and the like but our options are still limited.
I actually think sngorman's avatar would be a great logo:

I like to occasionally rock my old Brett Meyer jersey, but that shade of red sticks out like a sore thumb in the Cyclone crowd these days.
I sorta hate red anyways, and love the cardinal color, so it was a good move imo.
As for the logo. I really like the I-State logo, but it had to grow on me. I really liked Tornado Cy, but my favorite of all is the old Tornado.
Tornado Cy on the helmet and the overall branding of that logo actually gave ISU some visual recognition within the conference. Unsure if they were terms of endearment or not but all of a sudden ISU was being called the Whirly birds...or birds in a blender.
The newest Cy is just horrible. It needs to go
