Better or worse than the Bugle helmet?

[t-noah]

I like the concept but that cat looks like he got a surprise finger in the ass.

Haha! You do have a way with words!

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you expected it.

No apology needed. I didn't intend to imply that you implied it.

I get the implication...

Get a room? Haha!

It's still used occasionally. Saw it on the board during recent volleyball matches. Also, it used at every home wrestling meet I attended last year.

True. And they were using them for helmet award stickers there for a while. What year did they stop doing that? Last year or the year before?

I'm glad you showed what you were talking about. I would get behind that.

But for the record that isn't even close to the Heisman pose.

I would also like leaning Cy at some point. Maybe too laid back for a helmet, but damn, that logo is the best.

We have so many good Cy logos and the current one (bucky cy) is the worst of the bunch.

Here's the other.

I just wish the short 'I' leaning Cy had his elbow on the 'I' rather than floating above it. Once I noticed that I can't unsee it.

And really enjoyed it.

I think they both suck. As a fan I have never understood why we have no true identity logo wise. Maybe our identity is lack thereof‍ I mean I despise Iowa but their logo is timeless and they have stuck with it. You can say the same about K-State since Snyder, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Michigan, Texas, Tech, etc. then ISU, changing logos when we change coaches it seems like.

One of the big reasons Pollard procured and then has stuck with the primary I-State logo. And he will continue to stick with it while he is here. Rightfully so, I think. No need to change it now. [I do have some ideas to mod it].

But, as others have mentioned, I think the time has come to spice it up a little, add a couple of secondary logos, or go to a vintage look from time to time, as an alternative.

Haha! Second that. It now stands out like a sore thumb.

Thanks for nothing!!!

The cool thing is that you can alter or slighly modify vintage logos as you see fit.

For example, @Kagavi came up with a very simple mod to the vintage Walking Cy. It is perfect really. And nothing with this Logo/mod really changed. It was just pieced together differently.

That terrible bugle logo has never reappeared in football. Even the AD knows it was bad

@surly what's your take on the retro helmets?

I like the fact that coach Klieman is appealing to his athletes' alternate uniform need. I love the white pants and helmet. Not a fan of the cartoonish Willie but the flipside number is cool old school.

Willie was worn back in the day. K-State's war Willie was a sailor which wouldn't have been appropriate for tomorrow's Ft. Riley day uniform.

Generally, K-State fans feel as I do about this alternate look. Let the players have some fun with it. But don't screw up the traditionals.

Our apparel needs an upgrade or rebranding. I don’t mind the black and what not but ISU gear is not cool unless you are 60+. Feels crappy saying it but we’ve now been passed up by K-State

Don't buy Nike stuff.... There is a ton of really cool Iowa State gear out there that utilize retro logos.

Here I would do version C without the shoes, keep the bigger front facing eye, but bigger black outline around it like B or D.

With D I don't like the even bigger eyes and centered pupil and closed mouth, or the giant **** pointing to his head.

This is what it's about down here ...

That's a solid retro logo.

I'd be curious to see the other concepts.

I asked him if he could share them with me. No dice. Not legal for him to do so. ISU owns all the concepts.

ISU still needs to get a cyclone logo that is immediately distinguished in a monochrome.
