Looks better already. Personally i would so like NDSU does and remove the black circle at the middle. Most schools find a way to make it suttle on the court. Also make it bigger, again like the size of he Bison logo. Fighting Hawks on one end, Norb Dakots ok the other. If you can mock that up, hat would be awesome!!
What is the point of the black center circle?

You think most schools give a damn about our logo situation? I bet most fan bases couldn't even tell you what our old logo was! I wore an interlocking ND hat years ago in the south. Anyone that talked to be while wearing it said Go Irish, dont think one person thought Sioux.
Most schools....no. Conference and rival schools...yes.

The logo and name are the biggest disaster in UND history. Now throw in a mascot and we are the laughing stock of college sports. It's too bad our administration has to cater to the politically correct world. Not sure who runs our asylum.
What makes us the laughing stock of college sports is having a divided fanbase over a nickname.

Some may thing that our fighting Hawks logo at midcourt would look bad. Well, it could be worse.....
This is the definition of worse!!

We have a better shot at the GF Varmints starting up than getting a minor league hockey team.

Lucky kids. Mine are going to Fargo North, but at least it’s better than Red River.

I am not saying that REA shouldn't work with UND on what logos go where............but this might be a case of saving UND from themselves. If someone with photo shop skills wants to mock up a version with the Logo in the middle please go ahead.
One possible addition would be having the "Fighting Hawks" and Logo on the sidelines and then renaming the end with the student section as either "The Cast" or preferably "The Kettle" but maybe instead of that, signage could be added behind the student section.
This is a great look and if you told me we were refinishing the floor, this is what I imagine it should look like.
This is a nice clean classic look. The name is prominent and truth be told if UND wants to sell merchandise and promote the brand it has to be more "Fighting Hawks", "Hawks", "UND", and "North Dakota" and due to our unfortunate decision making, far less logo. REA might be doing us a favor as far as optics go. Wouldn't be the first time a private enterprise knew better than a government entity.
USD managed to make both the logo and words work, UND would have just Hawks at the bottom, as Fighting Hawks wouldn’t look right. But as for the pic of the Betty you posted I must admit it does look pretty good. Even though I would like to see a logo in the middle, the end court name and logo looks good.

But the logo did not appear on the jersey of any non-hockey team while I was a student (07-12).
This was your post, and I corrected it.

We should have kept the interlocking on the helmets and replaced the 2 inch Sioux patch with the same size FH patch. That would have helped with the transition for some of us.
I don't like the numbers on one side of the helmet. I would rather see a logo on both sides.

I'll concede that the logo was on the banners at the Alerus and even the Hyslop Pool if I recall correctly. But the logo did not appear on the jersey of any non-hockey team while I was a student (07-12). From what I've been told this was true prior to me attending as well and a Google search shows that the 2001 championship uniforms didn't display the Sioux logo or name.
Speaking of Google, it does appear the word Sioux appeared on the basketball jerseys through 2011. Logos don't often make it onto basketball jerseys so I'll concede that point in terms of their jerseys.

Well, Denver doesn't have a logo and a mascot. They also blocked Denver Metro from changing their name to Denver State University, because people would get confused somehow.
This was their mascot through 2017. He might get fased out due to a no mask policy on campus.

We dont need the other.
We don’t need Kennedy, Chaves, Brian Jones, Travis Brewster and Mark Pryor?

No, that's not a thing lol.
Go on social media after a hockey loss especially in the playoffs you would think it was a thing.

Sure. But that doesnt carry much weight as the Curse of the Ben Brien logo maybe held more water .... So what really works is "UND" How about just using the newer "UND" wordmark.
That logo won UND a football title in 2001.

Yet somehow it's on the shoulder patch ...
And it was the official nickname in April 2016 ...
That name hangs on the only National Title banner since the REA was built. Of course people forget that title (see Berry’s contract extension).

You know what's missing on that ice?
The team from the University of North Dakota.
To some people it’s the curse of the Fighting Hawk nickname.

Get with the Hockey Only crowd and you'll understand why this is an outlier....
It’s Sioux or North Dakota (no nickname)

Don't see too many mascot logos here...these arenas look just fine without a husky, wolverine, gofer, etc at center ice.
(note: this picture of Mariucci was actually taken during a men's game
)
Can’t the REA at least do this? Or will the FSF fans get out the pitchforks.

The center logo at the Betty could be a compromise for no logo on the ice, unless Kennedy and/or McGarry thinks getting a logo at the Betty is a way to get a logo on the ice, kind of a all or nothing mentality.
