PrintWhat do you folks want to see at the 50? We're assuming none of you are dumb enough to try to curry favor from us by choosing "BHGP" at midfield.

Combo Platter Please
I would like to see the block “I” with a tiger hawk overlay.

Giant "ANF" circle. All hail Hayden!

Yeah, it would just feed into the hick image more.
And a block “I” may look too much like Idaho’s
So the vote must be for Tigerhawk. Or Miss Tigerhawk Nipples.

Illinois also has a block "I" at their mid-field.

That was the first thing I thought when I pictured a block “I.” My vote is for Tigerhawk or blank.

Please Please Please
Miss Tigerhawk Nipples. The combination of ratings/network censorship would be worth it

I mean, you can go the route of my high school in PA.
As featured on Deadspin a month or two ago. Giant shank.

Mr. Paterno Will Be Fine...
That would look like the shizzle.
Of course I'm home. I'm always home. I'm uncool.
My proposals.
These are just rough drafts, but something along the lines of any of these would be ideal for me. I think the first one would look great with the black endzones we’ve already unanimously agreed upon. If we do go old school, then we have to use the second version of Herky. The third option is just obvious.
Go Hawks!
I have always preferred the "flying herky"
But the best image I could find online was a tattoo…

That one was always my favorite
Retro and badass at the same time.

Google Images...Southern Miss field...
They stole our logo years ago, and then put their version on their field.
Go Hawks!
That's exactly what I thought.
It’s all been done before. Tigerhawk (‘scuse me, Golden Eagle or something), ’I’, even script. I like the trailer-hitch cover above, though. With the black endzones.
Viva la nuance! Reading comprehension rules!!!
Awesome! You took my pink sideline idea and ran with that. I think IT IS A MUST.
The pink sideline will make/break the design, no matter what they stick at midfield.
Go Hawks!
Not enough.
Why not just paint the numbers and hashmarks on the visitor’s side pink while you’re at it? For night games, get some pink lighting over there. Oh! And make the visiting team give each other handies at halftime. On the 50-yard line.

Pollard votes for
for the following dates, 09/11/2010 and 09/08/2012. Can i get free Spinach & Artichoke Dip?
this place smells like feet. i’ll bring a can of lysol next week.
Yeah, take "See you in Kinnick"'s idea and make the black oval a state outline and you're golden.
Viva la nuance! Reading comprehension rules!!!
i like the pink
now some pink seats for the visiting fans….break out the pink yard markers when mary sue coleman’s LMAOmichigan comes in Oct.

Beyond Enzones...
For one game only (yes I realize that’s impossible, just picture it and think it’s cool, dammit!), say, a big night game, the following would look sweet as fuck: All black turf, bigass gold Tigerhawk in the middle.
Of course I would never actually want Kinnick to have anything but normal green turf. In reality it’d be way too Boise State and we don’t need the gimmick. But I like to picture it in my head movies.
by Third Generation Hawk on Feb 3, 2009 5:10 PM CST reply actions
great idea!
suggested games….10/10/09 vs. LMAOmichigan? or 10/02/10 vs. 84 yr old Paterno? we can have black candles and a black bday cake for MR. PATERNO delivered to his press box seat.

I wonder what the guys down there painting the 30-yard-line thought when I dropped that gigantic Herky on the field. Probably shit themselves.

ooh ooh ooh
Put a tank on there. Then they’ll really freak the fuck out.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
I'm sorry.
I hate that uppercut logo. It looks like The Incredible Herk is doing some sort of weird aerobics or something. It should be retired from all things Iowa. I don’t care what they put on midfield, except for that.
Go Hawks!
I see.
You will then have no desire to see the tattoo on my inner thigh

Inner thigh?
Does that mean it looks like Herky is punching you in the nuts? Because that would be phenomenal.

"some sort of weird aerobics or something"? No way.
Herky is clearly Bushwhacking.

I always thought it looked like Herky was bowling. I couldn’t figure out how that was supposed to intimidate opponents. Bowlers aren’t scary that way.
Obviously, you're not a golfer
Tigar? Whatever….

I really wish I could view it as our version of the Tiger Fistpump...
Unfortunately this is all I see when I look at it.
Go Hawks!
See? See? Bowling. I hate that thing. But now I’ll also see mushroom hair in the green tank top. It’s not helpful.
I'm sold
How can you not like it?
Superman? Black Power? Little Mac?
Also think Ken from Street Fighter 2 dropping a SHO-RYUKEN!

More importantly, here's what I would like to see on some other fields
A couple of these are borderline-ish nsfw so I left them as links. I’ve always been one to err on the side of caution….
ISU (You can’t really read his forehead, but you know what it says.)
Michigan
justNorthwestern (Gonna need a lot of paint for this one.)
Ohio State

You could substitute Brent Musberger on jNW's
or even better, Brent Musberger with that giant pile of dog shit on his head.

Dan Gable's face
in mid yell. That needs to be on the 50. Then on the 25 on each half, Mark Bortz’s (DE, class of 1982) face…in any expression. Nastiest guy I have ever met. Once went duck hunting with a bow at the Union duck pond. Was surprised when he was arrested, and resisted it of course.
