    I was paging through the 100 years of UND basketball publication and tried to find where UND used a logo in the past. I have pictures of my dad in the 1950's having "Sioux" on his jersey. In the 70's Sioux was either on the jerseys or on the side of the shorts. The interlocking ND was used on the side of the shorts when Sioux was on the jersey. I didn't see the use of a Sioux logo last century in basketball. I do remember seeing the Brien Sioux logo on the shorts in BB. I also recall seeing a large mural type Sioux in one of the windows on the east wall of the Fieldhouse when I was a kid. I don't recall football using a Sioux logo. It was always the interlocking ND. In hockey the geometric Sioux logo was the first I remember of the Sioux logo. I looked back and see that there was use of another Sioux logo in the 1950's, before my time and there was the Sammy Sioux logo of the 1960's, which is a vague memory. Was that on the uniforms? Just trying to get some perspective on this issue. It seems BB and football rarely used the logo, just the name. Hockey has almost always used a logo. As a result, hockey fans have more angst than others. From those who can remember, was there a lot of dissent when UND went to the geometric logo. Heck, I don't even remember if going from the geometric to the Brien logo created a lot of turmoil. Was there? The first day the new Fighting Hawks logo came out, I just shook my head. Two days later, it looked a little better. I just think it takes time and adjustment.

    Maybe it has just grown on me over the past few days, but I would take UND's new logo over either of these concept logos. I just wish they wouldn't have gotten rid of the interlocking logo. Quite unexpected.

    We are in for a very interesting day.

    I have been thinking the same thing

    Actually it wasn't. I had the new logo on the header this morning, then this afternoon it had the interlocking ND, I hit refresh the ND was still there. I went out and back in and the ND was there. A little while later the new logo was back.

    Yesterday the new logo was on the header at UNDSports.com This afternoon the interlocking ND is there. Was there a change of heart about ditching the interlocking ND? EDIT: Never mind. The new logo is back again.

    Can someone with some skill trim the letters in black on the logo and make the "D" look like the "D" shown in the script below. It just doesn't look finished to me.

    I posted on another board this morning to get unbiased opinion on the logo. One of the comments so far... "It makes me think they'll be acquired by Wells Fargo or Bank of America in a few years."

    I shared the new logo with my family and it won approval, 5-2, so perhaps it is more us old die-hards that are having the heartburn.

    For those of us keeping score at home.... We had a fantastic name and logo taken away from us. I pragmatically accepted that. We had numerous committees come up with the process for the new name. The process included criteria that the new name had to follow. Of the numerous submissions, a name that did not meet the critria was put into the final mix of names, while the popular "just use North Dakota" was removed from the vote. A hawk logo made its way around social media. I witnessed first hand people who thought that the hawk logo was going to be used in conjuction with the Fighting Hawks name. We end up with a bland PC name that doesn't meet selection committee criteria. An equally bland logo for the new name comes out and now not only do we lose the Sioux name and logo, we lose the recently revised interlocking ND logo that all of the teams had incorporated. The interlocking ND logo has been on the helmets since the 1960's. Does that pretty much sum things up?

    From the Herald's Q&A...

    It looks like a cross between the Burlington Northern and North Stars logos. I was hoping for better. This is going to take time to grow on me.

    I am guessing Collin Adams.

    Aside from the new logo and potential conference affiliation, how about Phase II of the High Performance Center?

    Does UND want to belong to a club where one of the members has this in mind for their students?....University of Wisconsin students to undergo mandatory ‘cultural competency training’ I sure hope not

    Not UND related or even 2017, but I thought this was interesting.... Check Out the 8th Grade QB Who Just Got His First SEC Offer .

    I think you need some work on your verbs. Challenge...invite (someone) to engage in a contest: Rant... speak or shout at length in a wild, impassioned way Now which one did I do?
  24. GeauxSioux
    How true.
  25. GeauxSioux
    For the record, I didn't "make" you take a challenge. I challenged you to not mention or reference NDSU for a week, but you weren't up to the challenge. Fine. Move on.
