    Make a lot of trips outside of North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota, Dave? Happen to be a coach, athlete or SID for UND that travels across the country and gets questions about Notre Dame constantly? Those are the people this affects the most, not us fans. There is a lot of similarity to the UND/ND logos and the UM/UM logos, but just because the latter looks similar does mean the former should also look similar. Since I work for a school that has hosted both UND and Notre Dame in the last several years, I've had to point out to the in-house graphics people that the Notre Dame logo they have on the board is not the correct logo for UND. If people who work in athletics can't even tell the difference, how can the average fan?

    They have always planned on having different variations for different backgrounds. Just want to make it clear that there are no "modifications" being done. The logo was decided on, and released, while Schafer was President so Kennedy would hopefully not have to deal with any of it.

    So far, with a much more successful transition to D1 and five consecutive national championships, NDSU deserves to be laughing. I'd much rather have the consistency of Portugal and NDSU than try and be a brief feel good story like Leicester and Iceland. Or does your analogy not include decades of failure that would make programs like that have "checked egos."

    I love the geometric logo, but I really think the new logo looks sharper than either of the other two.

    We're past the nickname choice. Fighting Hawks was chosen, so we're going to have a fighting hawks logo. Don't hate the logo just because you hate the name.

    Only one person you mentioned is capable of doing the entire job for Midco. It's not just showing up on the weekends and doing some play-by-play. Hammer also worked his ass off during the week in putting together stories, interviews, weekly coaches shows and more. The only person who has any video experience is Sweeney and he didn't apply.

    A logo everyone can agree on? Haha, good luck with that. The problem for a big number of UND fans is that any new logo is not the Sioux logo, so they'll never accept it.

    It's from talking to Jayson. SME is working on color variations and specific team wordmarks.
  9. southpaw
    They're in the works. Tentative goal is July 1 according to Jayson but it's a moving target.

    That isn't money that's just sitting there waiting to be used. It's money that is used to help with the budget shortfall. It's not hanging out in UND's back pocket.

    The "background" is actually just the jersey color. Clearly I'm bored today: If the concern is that nobody outside of North Dakota would know the ND was an ND and stood for North Dakota, then I think an improperly shaped rectangle would also cause issues.

    FYI... Jayson says the bird will always be white, so here are a couple unofficial looks for the on-grey and on-black backgrounds/jerseys: And I have no idea what they're going to do with the black breast part on a green jersey, so here's a couple options: Official color variations should be arriving in the next two weeks apparently.

    This certainly screams support for the new name/logo:

    It's not one tweet that cause some people to question his loyalty to UND. It's his lack of ever tweeting the Fighting Hawks name that may have people questioning his loyalty to helping UND move forward from the Sioux name.

    I'm guessing there were all of these complaints about how the Sioux logo looked too much like the Blackhawks.
  17. southpaw
    The issue with using the D from this script is that there will be white space as the bird doesn't fill up that entire area. It would be a thin black line separating the edge of the white bird with the blank space in the middle of the D. I think they'll do some tweaking to the logo. I just really, really hope they use negative space for the bird on whatever jerseys they do. It looked really weird in white on a grey shirt yesterday.

    Brad Berry has the final say on jersey designs. He's not going to put that logo on the chest. My guess is we have very similar jerseys to what UND has now, but with the new logo on the shoulders.
  19. southpaw
    It seems Gage and a lot of other people should have taken a minute to listen to what Ed said right before the video with that jersey played. That's not the new hockey jersey. It's to give people an idea of what the logo would look like on a jersey.
  20. southpaw
    Just like the N and D in the font:
  21. southpaw
    That's why I said prominently. It was pretty small.
  22. southpaw
    I agree it should at least be on the shoulder similar to the interlocking ND. As far as I can remember, hockey is the only program to have a giant crest on their jerseys with the Sioux logo. For everyone else, it's like this logo replaces the interlocking ND.
  23. southpaw
    Even when the football team only had the Sioux (or no) logo in minor ways, they still had the "other" logo for UND athletics. Now there is only one logo.
  24. southpaw
    Which is a shame since it is the logo of the University of North Dakota hockey team.

    And on a grey background/helmet:
