It wasn't actually McCarney that added the blue, it was the AD, Gene Smith. He told me when I was taking his class at tOSU.

CW claiming we are doing some version of all cardinal. Personally I’d like cardinal top and pants with the white helmet. Maybe even a red stripe down middle. Don’t love all cardinal

I like the new one too. I understand I am clearly in the minority but it grew on me. I don’t like it on helmets but otherwise it is fine. I hate all of the bird cartoons. I don’t mind Cy as a mascot but just not a logo. Tornadoes and I-State only please.

Tornado Cy is the absolute best logo and it's not even close. Get rid of the blue and make it some sort of off shade red or something and its perfect

Every time I see a mock up with that modernized tornado logo, I get more angry that it isn't our secondary logo and featured on our helmets. That thing is incredible and such a no-brainer, yet somehow we ended up with the bugle.

And to make it worse.... we paid big bucks for some design firm to come up with the ugly bugle, while several internet posters on here have done 100x better at home on their computer.

Damn, if we cant have the retro Cyclone, these look pretty good too, at least as an alternate. I mean we need some form a of "Cyclone" in some logo. I'm really partial to the Orr one, the simplicity and the cleanness of it etc. But this one is decent and gives us both that and Cy, without all the blue and weirdness of the 90s look. And are still way better than that bugle thing we have.

We need to send all these and the OrrNado ones to Pollard! Just wish he would listen.

They are posting on social media as cardinal day etc. with pictures of players wearing all cardinal. Not sure that means we are really wearing that though. Just want the stands to be as cardinal as possible.

Would you be able to do the middle one with a cardinal facemask, and the bottom one with a gold facemask?

Also, how about the current I-State logo (red stencil) on a white helmet with a gold facemask.

And the current I-State logo on a gold helmet with a cardinal facemask.

Sorry.... I'm just totally jonesing out on all these concept helmets you've come up with. They are all awesome. Still makes me wonder how in the hell our athletics department couldn't come up with something better than the bugle.
