I can see why the nation believes we have an identity crisis. Our mascot is a cardinal yet our name is the Cyclones. And, we paint tornados on our helmet which technically is not a cyclone.

Lol, unfortunately I've never seen an attempt at putting an actual photo of a Cyclone on a helmet. Not sure how that would work?

Ahh, the Santa beard logo.

Alabama's mascot is an elephant. Miami's is an ibis. Stanford's is a freaking tree.

Nah.

Those are all pretty bad, but I don't mind the AZ State trident or the USF Bull silhouette.

But Trees can be very large and stout! Not very agile or speedy however.

Sparky is so much better:

I agree. Then again, I also liked our bird in a blender logo from the mid 90s-mid 00s better than the current block I-State.

Yep, should have never went away from that.

Where else can you have this much fun with a field logo for a Thanksgiving game?

Even less speedy than a Terrapin!

Damn that’s great. We do this we’re in the top 25 for looks. IMO we’re now in the bottom 25.

I know what logo we need to bring back.



Also on a side note, a cyclone is 100% a tornado. Cyclones were just the upper midwest term for a tornado in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Also tornadoes are produced from cyclonic systems.

The "Cyclones" name dates back to 1895. That year, Iowa suffered an unusually high number of devastating cyclones (as tornadoes were called at the time). In September, Iowa Agricultural College's football team traveled to Northwestern University and defeated that team by a score of 36–0. The next day, the Chicago Tribune's headline read "Struck by a Cyclone: It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town."[106] The article began, "Northwestern might as well have tried to play football with an Iowa cyclone as with the Iowa team it met yesterday." The nickname stuck.

Actually a little sedate, for Maryland! No weird colors, checkerboard, etc.

I don't love the I-State logo, but I think our cardinal helmets with the cardinal facemask look sharp. The I-State logo on a white helmet looks cheap to my eye, whereas the cardinal on cardinal look masks that laptop sticker effect.

 

[KidSilverhair]

Sorry some of the colors don't match, but these are my favorites.

Don’t be sorry, you’re just keeping with the Iowa State tradition of random reds and yellow/golds on their branded attire.

Makes me think that maybe we should have a "Clones" script logo on a helmet. But then nobody would be able to figure out just what we are... Clones, Cardinal, Cyclones...
