Amazing to me how virtually every logo that’s had significant changes over time is currently worse now than it was at some point earlier.  For example, why would Tech ever change this to anything else?

So NC State is the only sailor still left (as the primary logo). Good for them.

Ibis still wears the hat for Miami.

Honestly I had never understood how utterly lazy those were. Seeing them all together it clicked that the sailor hats were a complete afterthought.

I love the nostalgia of these, but OU as an Indian, when their nickname "Sooners" are literally the white people who stole their land? And Pistol Pete without a mustache should be a criminal offense.

Question for @Al_4_ISU, what's the history why Iowa and ISU have always been in different conferences? OU and OSU were separated for some time, but were in the original SWC together, and the original Missouri Valley Conference, until OU split off with some other schools leaving OSU behind, but we joined back in 1960 when the Big 8 name became official.

Iowa had been in the original Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association, but joined the Big 10 as a full time member in 1911.  ISU had joined in 1908 (I'm getting this off of Wikipedia), and as the MVIAA grew with more of the west of the Mississippi/Plains states institutions, ISU just stayed put.  I guess we though it was a better fit (I think it probably is) to stay put as the core of that league was closer to Ames than most of the Big 10.  There was just never a desire on the part of either school to be in the same league.  As I understand it, Iowa saw themselves as this more sophisticated elite institution that wanted to rub shoulders with the more glamorous, populous humongous state schools in the eastern US and saw themselves as being better than the cow colleges spread along the edge of the Great Plains.  That attitude still prevails among their alums.

Iowa joined the Big 10 (Western Conference) in 1899, but was a joint member of the Missouri Valley Conference (later Big 8 )for a few years before withdrawing to stay in the Big 10. I imagine Iowa State never got a Big 10 invite.

It’s very racist

I've always heard that ISU got a Big 10 invite in the 20's or 30's and stayed put.

That got brought up a lot by our fans when y'all were threatening to execute us a few years back.

There's a racist image in there, but it ain't the Buckeye.  "Nut" is not a race.

Can we talk about all the animal mascots having human hands?  All of them are god damn Willie the Wildcat.  Who is the creepiest mascot in the country, narrowly defeating Pistol Pete's pedostache (sorry, he's fucking terrifying).

And in all fairness, I think everyone thinks it looks like blackface at first.  It's odd as shit, to say the least.  But that's what makes these damn things great.

?? We've always added bowl game patches to our jerseys.

No. We haven't always had bowl patches on our jerseys; however, the comparison is not generated solely by the addition of the bowl patch, but the collective clutter on the jersey that necessitates scouring for an open spot in which to squeeze a bowl patch. It looks like shit. It's why I like the Stormtrooper whites.

Just not into more flair, Brian.

Yeah, when we had the best team in the country even with a third string QB only to see the MNC dashed by the loss to ND

No one wore a bowl patch or a shoe company logo back then.

Assuming WSC is the predecessor name for Washington state, that mascot accurately reflects the average WSU fan’s fireball consumption.

Mormons getting some new special underwear...err uniforms.

 

I just don’t understand why teams can’t grasp the simple concept that unless the color is white, do not have the same color jerseys and pants. They look like pajamas or high school.

I think I’ve posted these every time Texas uniforms pop up but outside of making the sticker on the helmet normal, this should be our uniforms

Totally agree, but just as soon as we make that our default...aggy will have a huge TEXAS with tiny a&m underneath on their home jerseys at least. Never underestimate the Napoleon complex.

That fat Pat horny toad shit shouldnt even make the list. Looked arena then, still does.

The NFL announced this week they are ending the single shell rule so teams can wear throwback helmets again, something the fans, players, and teams have wanted since 2013. In true Goodell no fun fashion, they said even though they are ok with using more than one helmet, you can’t start until 2022. Why don’t we get to see Tom Brady in the creamsicles?

Obviously a black alternate

Completely disagree. That silver/greenish/gray is as iconic as burnt orange.  It should never be changed.

The Cowboys silver/greenish pants are a permanent buzz topic on most all logo/design type boards. I strongly remain in the camp that the current look is iconic and contributes to their glamourous image. The Cowboys are in the golden triumvirate of NFL jewel franchises with Pittsburgh and Green Bay, but neither of those are comparable to the Lakers and Yankees in… pizzazz? 
 

I’m fully aware of the origins of the silver/greenish look and it’s silliness to be applied in today’s HD age, but don’t care. We have an example of matching the silvers and it’s Kansas State, which is a fantasticly consistent in striping and coloring, but almost the opposite of glamour. It’s a workmanlike brand. 
 

Disclaimer: Houston guy that doesn’t like the Cowboys, but not one of those types that’s weird about Dallas stuff.
