So why do players say “Fighting Sioux hockey” during intermission interviews? Or tweet #FightingSioux? I am sure if Berry could he would rip that Hawk patch off the jersey in a split second. He is the least vocal of the name out of the five major sport coaches. Berry doesn’t support the new logo it’s more of tolerating it. 3 coaches want a Hawk on center court of the Betty that’s support. Berry not stepping up and saying to put a Hawk on center ice speaks volumes.

He said it’s not his job to provide an acceptable logo, but it is his job to bitch about the current one and say we need a new one that people will like.

It would be a shame to see that land go towards apartment buildings which i can see a developer doing.

Hopefully the GF Park District can take over Ray Richards and keep the golf course intact.

You say I have the mentality of a child when you created a thread to name me the Fighting Hawks mascot. I guess I took a page out of your playbook.

So sales is slow on a 2 year logo that represents a school whose fanbase is strongly divided in supporting a new brand versus supporting the past name and logo so we should scrap the whole thing because Petey says it won’t sell in the future. Have you contacted UND about this? What did they say about your findings? Cause your opinion smells worse than the research farms at NDSU.

Don’t you? Besides your love for the Bison logo, you haven’t provided a Fighting Hawks logo that people would like. The interlocking ND is the logo of choice to appease the no nickname crowd, so people like Edgewood or is it Rose Creek, would be satisfied with so I figured that would be your answer to a new logo.

You just want the interlocking ND as the logo because it again satisfies the FSF crowd and it has nothing to do with a picture of a Hawk.

Where did I say you have to like the logo. I want a direct quote or you are just making sh*t up like normal. I wasn’t the only one responding to his worthless drivel about why some girls weren’t wearing the logo. I saw a guy at work on Monday wear a Fighting Hawk hoodie. Cool story isn’t it.

What would have made a more interesting observation is him asking the 4 girls in UND gear...."why aren't you four wearing Fighting Sioux gear?"

Just like Petey saying over and over the logo sucks, its garbage and people aren't wearing it. Any sign of someone who is in favor of the logo and recently of the mascot and not in their narrative, they fly off the handle.

He said it was 4 girls. Sorry it wasn’t 4,000.

Just like you are butthurt over the nickname, logo, and mascot?

I was going to say because the Bison would need a travel partner.

Does that prohibit SDSU’s move out of the Summit should a mid major (MVC) come calling? Or would they go anyways.

So I should have ran to the kids at my daughters soccer game and ask them why they are wearing the Hawks logo on their shirt? We know you hate the logo, and so does other people, just like some like the logo. So what’s your point that everyone already knows?

As someone who doesn’t bash the logo on the building they sure can.

We are officially done with the Big Sky. We are FCS Independents with a Big Sky schedule for two years. We can’t win a conference title but can still make the playoffs. If UND or the Alerus wants to they can start changing the Big Sky logo and put a Hawk on the 50. But I will leave that up to Kennedy, the AD, Bubba and the folks at the Alerus.

So he observed 1 out of 4 girls wearing Hawks gear. Holy sh*t better start the nickname process all over again it’s a total failure.

This phrase described what Ralph did when he constructed his building. Why else would he put over 2000 “new” Sioux logos on it? He wanted to brand a new image to UND hockey.

Then that logo should have been installed in 2018 since that is when they won their 6th title, in July 2012 they didn’t have a DI title (which came after the turf was installed that summer), after their 3 win season in 2010 and didn’t sellout all their games in 2011. So no it’s not because of what happened 2012-2018. It’s because of branding, atmosphere, and possibly what the coaches/players wanted.

You mean Fighting Hawks didn’t stand for Fighting (Sioux) Hawks (Blackhawks) with a bird in a headdress?

if logos aren’t important why did the Bison insist the Fargodome put the Bison logo at the 50?

I was at my daughters soccer game and saw a few kids with Fighting Hawk gear In the mix of Bison, Twins, and Vikings gear to name a few teams out there. Kids don’t wear things they don’t like. My son wouldn’t be caught dead in Bison gear, but wears both Sioux and Fighting Hawks gear.

They had a lot of stencil on hand for those logos. Must have just ran out when it came to the Hawk logo.
