This is correct - if the same decal were on the other side, it would be correct
New Uniforms Revealed
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Here's a look at both sides in the same pic
Same base shell with 4 different decals (standard, metallic, cardinal stencil, black stencil) and 4 different cages (white, cardinal, grey, black)
The shiny bevel logo is the best one - I wish they would use this one on all the helmets all the time now
(Also, underrated uniform combination: white helmet/gray mask, white Rhoads jersey, gray/Harambe pants worn @ OK State 2016)
If the same replica decal was on the other side, it would still be wrong. The tornado pointed to the right on both sides, never to the left.
There was no flipped/inverted decal for the tornado era. There was one for the swirlybird era, though, as Cy faced "forward" on both sides. The logo on the left side of the helmet (Seth Zehr #58 for reference here) was the only approved usage of the swirlybird logo that faced to the left.

Correct, if you look at the helmet wall, the actual tornado is flipped backwards, under the Iowa State. You can tell by the way the top fits under the words. The decal is just wrong.If the same replica decal was on the other side, it would still be wrong. The tornado pointed to the right on both sides, never to the left.

Wow, you folks are right - they only flipped the tornado around - that's weird that they did that - it must have been created from scratch...
Here's another look side-by-side (albeit on different colors)
Damn! I find it hard not to love this uniform
I am curious to see what a script "Cyclones" helmet would look like if the colors were switched (primary cardinal with gold script letters)
That logo direction is confusing because there are two separate things happening that could alter it:
- Whether the tail is facing the helmet-front or the back.
- Connection point for top-of-funnel to the lettering (actual version it has to connect with the "a" in State).
I bet it would look pretty fire with a white shadow - wish I had the PS skills to make this happen...
West Virginia released a new uniform today. I like the helmet:
I would love to see the above uniform, but with the current cardinal and gold, and the logo below on the helmet…….
Looks gray/silver to me. Maybe we are the Raiders now...
The black jerseys do have a gray collar, but the numbers just look like the filter or lighting is just making it look more light/gray silver - the numbers are definitely white in another photo he (#90) posted (the one where he's "dunking" in front of the helmet wall - posted earlier in this thread)
Idk but he could use a couple more arm bands
