Iowa State Did More Rebranding, I Guess

Via KCCI, these are new secondary logo designs that apparently went out last fall, but nobody noticed because ISU didn't exactly announce it. Hey, you figure it out:

Angrybird1_medium

Angrybird2_medium

Scary?

Technically, these are just secondary logos; the I-State thing is still going to be on the helmets and the Hilton floor and everything; this is just for people who like having a birdy on their shirts. More power to them, I guess.

At this point, shouldn't the Cyclones just take the last step and just call themselves the Angry Birds? Isn't that a better idea than it has any right to be?

I lived through the tornado that came through Iowa City in 2006.

I do not remember it being a giant red angry bird.

Yep.

I was actually just a few yards away from it on one of the spots where it touched down. I lived on Jefferson Street; a block away almost every house got trashed. The sorority house that got wrecked was about two blocks from where I lived. That was as close as I’ve ever been to a tornado — and as close as I ever hope to be.

I was living across the street from St Patty's, in the Blackhawk building

Crazy carnage, and also the best Iowa City experience I’ve ever had. Met all my neighbors, everyone shared beers and downtown spilled over with nice people extremely curious to see the destruction. Strange how that can make such a great overall experience.

I lived on College St right across from one of the sorority houses

2 blocks away from all the trashed houses. Some of my friends actually lived in a house that got trashed. the only thing left standing was the brick front porch. The thing that made that night bearable was my roommate who bought a pony keg for the night, so I walked around with a beer in my hand looking at the crazy shit that went down.

If I were an ISU fan...

I would be somewhere between moderately annoyed to quite pissed that my athletic department has abandoned creating any good tradition in the name of bilking me out of a few dozen dollars every 5 years.

I guess, if your university can’t keep a football coach for more than an average of 7 years, and your mens’ basketball program can’t keep a coach for more than an average of 4 years, and your wrestling team has lost the two best wrestlers in history to become coaches elsewhere, then why worry about tradition? Just do cash grabs from the 86 fans you still have.

Personally, the old yellow and red cyclone helmets and white uniforms were ugly, but somewhat distinctive. The blue and red and gold was OK, and looked like the KC Chiefs. The new USC ripoff? Horrible. So, the answer must be add a pissed-off but still dorky-looking bird back into the mix.

It's not.

Apparently, they picked a cardinal specifically because it was proving difficult to have a cyclone as a mascot in costume. Of course, our original colors were black and gold, and they changed them because it was difficult to dye clothes black, or something to that effect.

Herky doesn't look like Chief Black Hawk either.

But the UI would never use a Native American as the mascot, that isn’t PC. The Last of the Mohicans story really picked up steam in the last 10-15 years. The origin of the term Hawkeye that remember being told when I was younger is that Hawkeye honors Chief Black Hawk. Personally, I think the Chief Black Hawk tribute is a way better story but with the Writer’s Workshop I suppose it works.

as an ISU fan that is an Iowa fan also (except the in-state games, of course)…the Hawks logo/mascot makes sense to me. There is no way we get rid of Cy…he’s a great mascot, and we the fans love him. HOWEVER…we need to stop with the secondary logo bullshit. The reason we went to the generic but clean looking I state logo was because there was too much variation in the logos.

the new mascot choices shown at Barking Carnival. I do not know how to do the link cite stuff, but it was entitled “A Message from Jamie Pollard” and it was fantastic. My son, who has nothing to do with the state of Iowa or its athletic teams, copied the final mascot choice simply for its awesomeness.

And, of course, ISU then beat Texas.
