Ah, another popular Iowa sports mascot? Interesting Hawkeyes and Cyclones. Most of the stores are selling Hawkeyes stuff, but Cyclones, not really much.
That's because you live by the University of Iowa.
Lots of Cyclone stuff here. Although you can certainly buy Hawkeyes here too.
I used to have a really large Cyclone fleece sweatshirt and liked to wear it for tv viewing of the Cyclones basketball. Sadly it wore out.
My husband has a resin bird house which looks just like a Cyclones cap.
I don't live by Hawkeyes. I live nearby Panthers which is Northern Iowa University.
:Oops: We have been here 17 years, and I guess I am still not very good with the geography of the state.
(It could just be our secret. )
Cedar Falls=Northern Iowa University Panthers
Iowa City=Hawkeyes home base
The map is for reference to see where the cities are.
Of course you know where Ames is.
I think I was confused about Cedar Falls and Cedar Rapids locations.
In Alabama,
Auburn University in Auburn, AL
University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, AL.
Those are the most popular college sports mascots? Interesting, elephants..... most school mascots usually are hawks and eagles, some kind of birds and wild cats or dogs.
