Change the Cy-Hawk trophy
Published August 19, 2011
This summer the Iowa Corn Growers Association announced they were retiring the original Cy Hawk trophy after 20+ years of use. Today, August 19th 2011, the Iowa Corn Growers Association unveiled the new trophy. It can only be described as the unholy spawn of a Hummel figurine and a Family Circus cartoon. This petition is for the Iowa Corn Growers Association to wake up, realize they're sponsoring a football game, and that a Norman Rockwell situation just won't cut it for this great rivalry game. If they can't come up with something better than this then the old trophy should be brought back.
To the Iowa Corn Growers Association:
We the undersigned, believe that you have erred in your choice for the new Cy-Hawk trophy. We request that you choose a new design that reflects the interests of the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, their respective fans, and not your own corporate interest. Your choice in trophy is universally disliked, and if no alternative is available, we request you bring back the old Cy-Hawk Trophy. If the game continues with your new version of the trophy, the rivalry will become a laughing stock, not only in the local media, but certainly in the national media.

Do not donate to this cause. This is a petition and not a charity, I wouldn't know what to do with your money other than refund it.

Update on 8/23/11
The ICGA held a press conference today to announce that they would be changing the Cy-Hawk trophy. I would like to commend the ICGA, Iowa, and ISU for listening to the overwhelming feedback and deciding to involve the fans by not only scrapping the current design but working with the fans on what they would like to see in a trophy. This truly is a win-win for all parties.
To all who signed the petition, a very large thank you is in order. We will never know how much this petition factored in, or how much the feedback on the Iowa Corn website or on facebook factored in, but collectively the passion all fans showed for this cause certainly was the factor that brought about this change. Thank you all again.
