I’m in the same boat, I’ve heard this term for the first time and have no clue where it comes from. The logo sucks but I don’t know how it gives off that vibe.
Saw that Gerry Vaughn was named the Jack Trice scholarship player for this season:

To build on my original post - this honor is something that could benefit from the proposed guardrails on the Trice logo. Because this is a big deal for Gerry, perhaps he is given the opportunity to create a small, EXCLUSIVE apparel collection and he picks a charity to donate the revenue to.
Give back to the community in Jack's name. Can see this being brought up on TV during every game.
I'm not sure why ISU wouldn't have Gerry wear #37 (Jack's number) this season - could sell those custom jerseys that reference Jack without making it an explicit tie, given the vague legalities also discussed in this thread.
Actually, I don't think I've ever seen ISU mention #37 at all. Anyone know why?

What you say broadly is true but I do think the 5 stripes are at a bit of a crossroads. Should it be viewed as another athletics mark or is it something whose use should be significantly limited compared to the I-State or other athletics logos due to reverence for Jack Trice? I don't think anybody is against protecting its identity and licensing.
I'm personally of the opinion that the 5 stripes should be able to be nearly as widely used as the I-State logo or any other part of the ISU brand identity. I like its link to Jack Trice but its organic representation of Iowa State's football history is maybe even more important and certainly very valuable to an Iowa State brand that has a lot of change and inconsistency through the years.
I want to honor Jack Trice's legacy but I think that protecting his name, his signature, "I will", and e other pieces of the Trice identity with heavy restrictions can accomplish that without having to severely limit the 5 stripes as an ISU athletics mark.

Maybe he doesn't want to? Most athletes I know are very attached to their number and don't like to change once they got the one they want.
One side note - the bolded refers to the Athletics brand identity, correct? I-State isn't really part of ISU-the university's branding. I know because whenever we want to use it, we're told no. Maybe that's changing over time.
You are correct. I don't know of any change but I'm just a fan with no insider knowledge.
The Orrnado is the best logo. Angry walking Cy in various sports uniforms is next. The bugle is the worst, and blender Cy isn't great, but at least it was unique. The current block letter log is so...meh.
I was actually talking to my brother about this awhile ago. The Jack Trice logo should be regarded as special, but I do think that means plaster it everywhere you can. I live in WI, and when I wear my 5 bar hoodie or hat out and about, someone almost always asks about it. The story spreads. Get it on TV all the time and people will probably google what exactly it means. They should be telling the story and should have been for years, but we're slow on the take sometimes (kindof like not playing a tornado siren for years...I mean really?).

Good question! It's probably only a semi-official logo/emblem at this point, as it is not listed as one of our (ISU's) official logos (yet). It certainly is on enough stuff now to be 'official', but isn't still.

Another good question. As @isufbcurt pointed out, maybe Gerry wants to keep his number? But your idea has merit, and could be another way to advertise (talking points w/ the media, etc.) ISU and the Trice story.
I will link @brentblum to the #37 idea. Maybe it's already been discussed, or in the works?
Everyone just needs to drink as much of this beer as they can. Bush light doesn’t do anything for our NIL fund.
I don’t know how many people donated for these. My wife got one for me and now the JT Foundation. was told they could not have these made any longer. I may wear it to a game this year.
I really think it's ******** the AD made them stop making them. They told them the 5 bars logo was copyright, and not approved for use with the words on top.
It's the jack trice foundation, I mean cmon
