    If we join the Summit, we would have home and home's with all 3 every year!! ;)

    No need to downgrade conference affiliation just to play SD schools. A more logical step would be to try get USD & SDSU to agree to VB and m&w basketball contracts so that we had one SD school at home and the other on the road each year in each sport.

    However, the Summit LEague and the MVFC do work closely together.  If UND showed some behind the scenes interest to join the Summit, sould Douple and the rest of the League want them?  And if they did, would he make a push to the MVFC to add them?

     

    UND already tried that. Didn't work. 

    The Big Sky is a great conference with some great schools. I hope we are a long term member.

    That grey helmet looks even more dull than the green one. Football helmets should have a glossy finish.

    I'm surprised you're not preaching that they should still be leather.

    I was looking for UND's color palette (Football uniform thread) and I stumbled across this:

    http://blogs.und.edu/fightinghawks/wp-content/uploads/sites/62/2016/03/UND-Fighting-Hawks-Brand-Identity-Development-Creative-Brief-03.24.16.pdf

    It's good information.

    What are the brand identity elements to be explored?


    Hawk:
    1. Explore options in motion and possibly diving/attacking/wings spread – not static.
    2. The exploration of movement within the hawk should examine how it perseveres in North Dakota’s 
    intense environment/climate.
    3. Should feel dynamic, powerful, free and strong.
    4. Consideration should be given to a hawk watching over North Dakota.
    5. The eye of the hawk and its talons present elements to be considered for additional exploration.
    6. Indigenous North Dakota hawks.


    North Dakota Inspiration:
    1. The Great Plains/Open Landscapes/Agriculture/Badlands.
    2. Big Sky/Northern Lights/Stars/North Star/Sundogs.
    3. Perseverance in an intense environment/climate.


    UND Inspiration:
    1. Eternal Flame.
    2. Exploration/Innovation.
    3. Aviation.
    4. State Institution.


    Design Direction?
    1. Contemporary design.
    2. Dimensional, not flat.
    3. Explore new ways to integrate historic/traditional elements and state iconography.
    4. Bold and iconic.

  5. Didn't we have a thread started by a visiting fan about hotels, restaurants, game day activities, etc? I thought that it was a season or two ago and ended up being a few pages long with some good info. I went back a ways but didn't notice it. Possible it was mixed in with a season or game thread. 

  6. People debate the TV packages that UND, the Big Sky, and the NCHC have all the time. But when it comes down to it Midco is a great partner to have in the athletic department's corner. They spend a lot of time, money and resources helping to promote UND.

    Three of these things belong together
    Three of these things are kind of the same
    Can you guess which one of these doesn't belong here?
    Now it's time to play our game (time to play our game).

    OK boys and girls.  Can you figure out which logo doesn't have an "O" in it? :D

    The VD logo doesn't have an O in it.

    The bobcat logo is pretty blah but so are most logos.  The thing that makes the bobcat logo cool is that it's completely accepted by their fan base and alumni as cool.  We may get there one day with our f'n hawk logo but it seems a long ways away right now

    Actually their laughing cat logo was never really that popular with their fan base. Three years ago they gave it a bit of a facelift to add more detail and make it look more like an actual bobcat. 

    And they got a much better deal than we did.
