the olds like dax and chum hate the logo because looking at the script lettering reminds them of the time when they could write like that, this was before the alzheimers kicked in

I went to bed thinking about this last night. I realized that, although my body is failing me and I don't have much longer on this Earth, my actions still matter. I vowed to myself that I will treat all fonts equally from now on - especially the fonts that remind me my days are numbered. Life is too short, y'all.

I really like us calling ourselves the cats. It's better than wildcats.

Is it the best possible throwback logo we could’ve put on there? Of course not. Is it as good as the mockups chumdumpster posted? Nah. Is it good enough for one game, especially when we’ve been starved of any real uniform excitement for over a quarter century? Yep!

Yep it would be a great rebrand. shitloads of wildcats out there but no plain old badass cats.

Not much of a sweatshirt selection left online.  Guess I'll have to wait to see if more inventory is released later.

Best luck you will have is at the KState bookstore, they just got in a fresh shipment yesterday. SuperStore was absolutely hammered the first day.

We are cats of all types. From the littlest house cat kitten, to the mean old bobcat, to the majestic lion. All are Kansas State.

4 opinions

1. Cats script helmet looks cool even if it isn't my fave throwbackish logo
2. People losing their crap over it are  :lol:
3. While I don't love the Powercat as a logo in and of itself (it's fine), it absolutely is synonymous with success full KSU football and looks GREAT on a helmet
4. People clamoring for the death or the Powercat are worse than the people losing their crap over the Cats helmet
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

The Powercat logo is becoming trashy and played out and should be retired so we can go back to the Willie mascot logo.

I think we should put a body composed of polygons (not true polygons, curves would be allowed) onto our powercat head.

There are a decent amount of browns on KSO doing just that.

To the surprise of no one, Mitch Holtus absolutely hates this. His ranting on KMAN yesterday was pretty entertaining.

The Powercat logo is becoming trashy and played out and should be retired so we can go back to the Willie mascot logo.

I’m not advocating for the death of the powercat because I LOVE when Mrs. SB tries to draw it on my birthday cards. But, I do recall in the past talking with people from other states who aren’t affiliated with KSU Purplecats U. in any way, and they were all like, “....you call it what? A powercat? Lolololol, what a stupid made up word that sounds extremely 90’s-y.” And I’ve asked graphic designers before what they think of it and they all lawl at the way it looks. Also my best bud grew up in MHK and went to Cats U., and after like 25 years of looking at it, I had to break the news to him that what he thought was the eye is actually its ear. Even those of us who love it can admit that as a logo, it’s pretty weird.

So, a powercat  recap:
—Extremely 90s name
—kinda LOL as a design
—no one knows what it is or what it’s supposed to be
—I still love it personally but realize it’s kinda laughable
—I still love it but also welcome alternate jerseys every once in a while because I’m not a stupid tuck
—The iteration of the powercat that has flames coming out of the back of it absolutely is super rough ridin' trashy. So no, the powercat in and of itself isn’t trashy, but what dumb tuck hicks who definitely have goatees do to it CAN make it trashy.

I think we should compile a chart similar to the evolution charts that show us going from cavemen to upright humans. You know the one. But it starts with the Iowa Hawkeye and then goes to the powercat and then turns into the Minnesota Wild logo and then the current Texas State Bobcat logo. (And any others that are Hawkeye offshoots.)

Check rally house. I got the white one yesterday, my first ever white sweatshirt, and I'm picking it up on Saturday

the word powercat is so ingrained in my head i never realized it was weird. but adding power to other team mascots sounds very goofy, and i'm surprised people don't make fun of it more.

i think we should change to supercats.
