At first? It's still ugly

Did you actually think this was a serious concept? I just swapped out red for green on the ugliest jersey I could find!
No, I didn't, was just curious what it might look like. Thanks for doing it. Proves I do prefer the logo without the ND behind it.

I like them!
I get that the hawk head on the ND is the logo, but I still can't get over the corporate look of that logo and it doesn't work for me on that mock-up. Curious, is it possible, or how difficult would it be, just just put the hawk head on the jersey and remove the ND part, just for kicks?

Really? This was one of the most popular Sioux jersey's ever.
Never was a fan of the diagonal stripes. NEVER

If the weekend goes poorly, people will complain regardless of ticket price. "I paid $100 to watch this?!?!" "I paid $50 to watch this?!?!" "I drank $9 beers for 3 hours to watch this?!?!" "I drove 300 miles to watch this?!?!" It's all the same.
Not to mention feeling like the team owes them a win

I guess the biggest thing that bugs me about the "Siouxforever" fans is their absolute refusal to accept anything Fighting Hawks related and their disdain for those that do. From comments made on social media ripping on the name and logo and remarks like "Don't you mean Sioux", to booing when Fighting Hawks is said at hockey games and chanting "Sioux Forever". I think every UND fan has the right to accept the name in their own time frame, if at all. But to vocally reject it in the way some do and call out fans who have accepted the Fighting Hawks name and logo is beyond embarrassing. I get it. There are fans that are never going to accept the new name and logo in any way. But don't disparage those of us that have.
agree

Actually, Minnesota didn't really want him anyway.
Actually, they did. It's just that he made an "impulsive decision" choosing UND over MN at this time.

It's not the logo I want, but that jersey is actually not bad. I like the style of the jersey itself.

back to a conversation from a bit earlier. First, I dislike the new name as much as anyone. And I'm not a fan of the new logo. that said, a buddy was at the recent UND night at the Twins game and his wife did not care for the baseball hat so he gave it to me. I have to say, the logo, as a small icon, actually looks pretty good on that hat. I still don't like the big logo on the football helmets, and am guessing this is one of those things that might look better smaller than larger. Just the way I thought the Brien logo was fantastic as a large image but pretty poor as a small image on a baseball hat, etc.
So, at least that's nice.

As much as it pains me to say it....you can't ignore the contribution the Gopher fans made toward the atmosphere of the tourney. A good chunk of them still showed up even though their team wasn't there.
Including the annoying jerks that showed up drunk near us, year after year.

How many teams have some version of Hawks as a nickname? They couldn't have selected a more generic name.
First off, I'm totally with you on your point. That said, honestly, thank God we're not the Huskies. That actually would have been worse.

And the Duluth News Tribune photo on the story of Pionk leaving is him driving his shoulder into Cam. Don't feel sorry for UMD at all.

UND was in the same league as Minnesota for 62 years. The same league as Wisconsin for 44 years. The same league as Michigan and Michigan State for 30 years each. The same league as Notre Dame for 10 years. Those would all be considered historical opponents. The only 2 schools from the Big 10 that UND hasn't been in a league with are Ohio State and Penn State. Minnesota and Wisconsin are just as local as Duluth, St. Cloud, and Omaha.
As far as NCHC opponents, they have been in the same league as Denver and Colorado College for 66 years each, Duluth for 51, St. Cloud for 27, Omaha for 7, Miami and Western Michigan for 4. UND has plenty of history with schools in both leagues. UND has had more deeply heated rivalries with Minnesota and Wisconsin over the years than with any NCHC schools other than possibly Denver.
You are correct and I knew that, but as I was typing on my phone I left some clarification out. My mistake. That said, my point remains. You win on MN and WI and I agree with you there. While historically correct on Michigan and Michigan State, only the oldest UND fans remember that. A live rivalry really doesn't exist with any of those teams with anyone under 50 and many over 50. Also, other than MN, you have no local game (Duluth, St. Cloud, etc.) which I believe is important to the fan experience. I think the regionalism of conference affiliation is a big deal for the fan experience, and you'll lose that in the Big10.
But even more than that, I'm concerned that UND would get short shrift in other matters from that arrogant conference.

Having your name dropped along side the B1G schools is not bad.I've set out my "must haves" list for UND should this become more than speculation.
In this day and age i can understand the lure of $ and association. I just think we've seen the detrimental effects of busting up a historical conference and the related rivalries and worry what would happen if UND was playing a little 6 schedule instead of the local and historical opponents we are used to. Couple that with a complete distrust of the Big10 conference.....i would fear being treated like the red headed step child in that conference. I agree there would need to be iron clad guarantees and i wouldn't even trust them to live up to those.

I admit I haven't paid really close attention to a lot of what has been written for and against UND to Big6, but I don't understand the attraction.

We're fans. We're not driving, we're in the passenger seat. We still get to experience the thrills of the ride, but we can check our looks in the mirror or even text if we want.
