That needed repeating. Heck, I'll save folks the click:
Ralph was businessman people. He changed with the broader market and the broader market is moving away from monikers like UND's prior. He knew those days were coming.
If Ralph knew sometime in and around 2006 (5 years after the REA opened) the name would be changed why put logos that he knew would be impossible to remove and not be able to replace them with new logos. That makes no sense.

My guess is the changes will be subtle and nuanced from the 2018-19 jerseys: North Dakota on the front; hawk on the shoulder; maybe re-striped (as some say) like Dallas. That's it.
Why do I say that? Brad Berry has final call on the jersey. He's never said "Hawks"; he was forced into the "on the shoulder hawk". You won't see further movement toward it.
That's my prediction. Make me wrong, Brad.

u serious....jones, chaves, brew, kennedy, and pryor all wanted a hawk at mid court of the betty...guess who didn't want one? We didn't get a hawk at midcourt.
A hawk on the court in their building is different than a Hawk on a jersey. But since Berry has the final say we will get the usual bland North Dakota with the Hawk on the shoulders.

Wonder what their logo will look like, and which consultant group they pay to come up with it.

I attended an Islanders game when UND was in town to play at MSG.
They zero in on folks in the crowd who are on their phones and then start a countdown clock to see how long it takes that person to look up/pay attention to what's going on, and they realize they are on the big screen. Needless to say, most folks were a little embarrassed.That sounds like a great idea.

We all understand your opinion, you're the one who came here again and chastised people for not falling into a goosestepping love afair with a logo.
Its not interesting to read your broken record bitchfestiness again and again and again and again and again and again.........
Isn’t that what you did after Siouxperman7’s post.

I know who I want to go away.
Amazing how "ALL 3" come out of the woodwork at the same time, every time, to derail every thread and chastise everyone for not falling in line with the leaders message.
"All 3"... almost like.... there's only the one mind, with the same one thought, with the same way of saying it.....
Your opinion is noted. Its dismissed as lunatic ranting, but noted.
College athletics fan participation is not challenged nationwide because you dont see a little birdy enough in GF.
Inovative ways to engage fans are evolving, its interesting to hear what people have experienced in other arenas.
The birdy is never going to do what winning will do or what more accomodations to the students will or what inovative arena experiences will.
You will just continue to expose and drive the wedge further between: you "3" and the rest of the world that is sick of the self righteous hatred you project on them.
Someone gives you an opinion and you go apeshit. Try and understand why the REA can’t be fun to some people, and ways to fix it, again it’s someone’s opinion. If you can’t just accept someone’s opinion without name calling then that’s pretty sad.

Just one thread Lord,
Just one thread without the Hawkzi Kabal of Our Lady of a Delusional Dream, hijaking it into a fire and brimstone tounge lashing for not falling into line with the demands of the their devine minority.
In the name of all that holy, Amen.
Wow, gotta call people names that moved on.

Bingo!! There is huge identity crisis at the game. You have the Sioux logo everywhere, you have the hockey team only referred to as "North Dakota" by the announcers to go with the script logo, and you have too look really hard for the Fighting Hawks logo. You have fans yelling "Go Sioux" and you have fans that feel that if they yell "Go Hawks" they are going to get dirty looks from other fans!!
Social media captures the division in real time. Anyone mentions Fighting Hawks and the FSF squad comes out in full force bashing anyone in support of the name. The REA facebook page has a thread about the new scoreboard, and people are so worried about the Sioux logo on the bottom and hoping not to see a Hawk logo anywhere on it. Until that all goes away, there will be no unison chants.

One thing that should help a little is the The Betty is paid for in fall of 2020.
Does that mean UND takes control of the building?

That’s only $285,714.29 per fan who attended their last playoff game against Ohio State.
They have gained thousands of fans on social media, of course probably 99% of them have never attended a game in their life.

Congrats. You won, if cutting a team can be considered winning.
What is sad is people bringing up the fact we don't have hockey in the media. Why doesn't Brad post about our former baseball, S&D, and wrestling sports while he is at it. People react to what is printed, not just out of thin air.
