PackerBadger Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Click here.And, of course, from Iowa's hawk came Wisconsin's Motion W (thanks to ex-Hawkeye assistant Barry Alvarez) and Kansas State's stylized Wildcat (thanks to ex-Hawkeye assistant Bill Snyder). Think of it as the Hayden Fry Logo Tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yac12 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Iowa went back to the ANF sticker above the hawk logo for this past weekends game. I don't know if it was to honor Hayden Fry or if it will stay there all season. The outline of the state of Iowa with ANF was gone from the back of the helmet.

Jigga Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I love the stories behind the logos. Not a fan of the Tiger Hawk much (especially as a non-native who spent 4 years in the Great State of Iowa), but it's a pretty cool story.

Now what had you in IA all that time?Loved the read. Always interesting to find out origins behind certain logos. I can still remember the thread from way back discussing the creation of the Razorback logo. Good stuff. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sec19Row53 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hayden Fry was also behind my alma mater's "Flying Worm" logo when he was coach in the '70s:That looks like someone's re-coloring of the Washington Federals. Yes, I recognize that it was around before the Federals. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommytimp Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I went to school in Cedar Rapids and I don't think I ever heard that story. It's a good one. And yes, that Hawk is everywhere in Iowa, even probably in Ames and Cedar Falls.
