How old were you when you realized the tigerhawk logo…

For you youngsters, the tiger hawk was extremely controversial it's first couple years. Hayden arranged for it to be designed, and there was quite the hubbub over whether he owned it and was making money off of Iowa using it. Don't think he was, but not sure.

And many publications, from Sports Illustrated to Barstool, now consider it one of the top ten logos in college football. Most recently Yahoo Sports named ours in the Top Ten best college football helmets (check out #1, ‘Nole fans):

Bill Snyder did the same thing when he left Iowa for KSU. He had the logo redesigned to the current Powercat. The same guy that created the Tiger Hawk also drew the Powercat. Not sure if there are any hidden messages in that logo.

Look at the figure…with a little imagination (not much really) it’s pretty obvious….today when I see it, the first thing I see is “fry”..Hayden didn’t do nothing without a purpose. Sublineal messaging included.. ;)
So Hayden told the artist (Bill Colbert) that he wanted a subliminal "F-R-Y" embedded in the logo? I dunno about that.

This has been known and accepted for many decades, not new if you’ve been around for any length of time.
