ESPN reporting that Mack Brown has just been diagnosed with early-onset dementia...

Props to the football folks for this work. The white outline certainly helps make the N look like an N and the D look like a D.

How could it since it has no opening in its beak? I think it just had to peck away at the D.

Right! Still can hardly tell what the letters are.

Given the state of UAF and UAA hockey, perhaps a mod can step in and rename this thread "contraction" instead of "expansion"?

You do know that that image is totally photo-shopped onto that hat, right? I'll withhold judgement until I actually see a real hat.

football coach visors? Did Steve Spurrier take a job at UND?

Mario. As in Lemieux, not Lamoureux. And I mean that in no way to disrespect the former Sioux Mario, but given the choice...

We're mulling over our options.

That's ABSURD! 2nd place at best.

Check your PM's, fellas...

I'm offended by that statement, Emerald joker. I demand an immediate retraction and apology. I'm not sure why, but I do. I'll be in my safe space awaiting your PM.

Except that those green "wing tips" are part of the N...

The NoiseInsideMyHead just told me it's time to go bowling!

I know some folks think the hawk by itself minus the ND in the background would look good, but I think it'll look like a white blob with an eye.

Agreed on all counts. Not a bad attempt at all, but still needs some fixing.

I like that as well.

I'm sorry, but this hat looks AWFUL. If I wasn't a fan of the school or the team, I'd have NO CLUE what the green "letters" are supposed to be.

Count me amongst the group of fans who would love a change to the hockey jerseys - namely getting rid of the "armpit stains" on all three sets.

Totally agree on that! Can't unsee it!

Any updates?

I would agree with your assessment of the fans... Good times. Back to the Fighting Hawks and 2016-2017. I still think the leadership of Caggiula and Schmaltz will be tough to replace. Lots of young names and faces will need to step it up this season.

It's too early for me to be on the internet on a Saturday.

You're kidding me, right? Nick Bjugstad, Hudson Fasching, Mike Reilly, Alex Goligoski, Eric Haula, Seth Helgeson, Erik Johnson, Phil Kessel, Nick Leddy, Paul Martin, Aaron Ness, Kyle Osposo, Kyle Rau, Nate Schmidt, Jordan Schroeder, Bradky Skjei, Thomas Vanek, Blake Wheeler... I'm sorry, I'm a Gopher-hater like most of the rest of you here, but saying that the talent on Minnesota's roster as of late has been D2 or lower for a long time is preposterous. Now, as far as 2016-2017 goes, I hope this team finds a new leader in the mold of Drake Caggiula.

That's for real, my friend.
