Stupid logo hate thread

What I don't understand both with the odd logo and the coal colored uniform is why not project a power 5 image? Why the insistence on the artsy fartsy stuff?
 
... Lol! It looks like a high school logo. It really does.

I actually prefer the HCHS logo by a little, but I may be biased.

The really funny thing is? The more "over the top" fans hate on this logo, the more I like it - and I'm not a really big fan of the logo. There is absolutely nothing but 100% butthurt that JP isn't going back to the Criner tornado.

While I love the Criner logo I'm not opposed to a new logo. The one they've come out with shouldn't be on the helmet of a Big 12 team.
 
At least we weren't mocked on social media for it. Oh wait, we were. Even by Bugles. And just about everyone else from coast to coast. Not ONE positive comment.

Guess next time, if they want a cool looking tornado, they can just go back to when we actually had a cool looking tornado for a logo. The one Thursday is what you get when a Bugles chip $&@#s a steaming pile of &$@#.

There's plenty of power 5 teams that use gray now but like most things Iowa St is about five years late on those trends. That's why I don't really buy that it has a big influence on recruits, everyone else has already done it, and most have done it better. When Oklahoma St was first breaking out alternate grays in like 2010 it probably did help with recruiting, but not when we jump on board six years later.
 
I can't really add anything, that logo sucks. Except to wonder why this thread doesn't have a poll. Aren't polls a thing on this board anymore?
 
I will start by saying I'm not other a big fan of this new logo. I was disappointed when I finally saw it Thursday. After a couple days I don't think it is that bad. It still isnt a good logo but it isn't that bad. I think there are a few problems with it. First and most importantly I think we have two much better ones with the updated McCarney era logo and the 80's era one. The other problem I think was how we played. I think the game is blinding a lot of people. I also think the cardinal logo on the cardinal helmet is such a bad idea.

Another thing I've noticed is our fans seem to perpetuate the comparisons to other things. The yellow uniforms compared to McDonalds. This compared to bugles. Other fan bases ignore it. That's what we need to do.
 
No no no no no. I'm fairly confident plenty of us hated it the first moment we saw it.

Many people didn't like it when they first saw it - the rest hate it because of groupthink. Dead serious. Many people actually liked it when they first saw it but then started hating it because they were told to hate it by everyone else that hated it.

Who are these people? Let's see some examples of people changing their tune.

I didn't say that people didn't hate it right away but that doesn't mean people aren't taking the game into affect too. I really didn't like it on Thursday but now I've taken time and reevaluated it.

It was mentioned earlier in the thread. But I'm sure you were too busy scrolling to read all of the posts that reinforce your own opinion.

Funny. The more I think about it, the more pissed off I get.

Funny. The more people get even further butthurt about the logo, the more I tend to like it.
