Pierre pointed out what I saw as well - Chris Kreider busy seeking revenge for the hit on him - and it led directly to the TB goal.

I'm a HUGE Red Wings fans as well and am with you on this. Ken Holland has put the team together year after year and done a great job trying to rebuild it. Babcock is a great coach, but not worth that kind of money.

That Bowen jersey is intriguing. Where did you pick that one up at? Sold at one time as a game-worn, eh?

Army's new logo. It looks like the helmet is being stabbed with the sword, in my opinion. And now I can't un-see it.

The header-goal that was disallowed ranks right up there with Alex Rodriguez slapping the ball out of Arroyo's glove. What a dumb-a** play - and the guy thought that that would legitimately count too.

Changed your post to hammer home your excellent point about how important this first big move is...

Western Illinois would have a good logo if the wordmark was fixed.

I guess we agree to disagree then because I would take ND over the old UNC logo, JMU, or Milwaukee any day of the week. NAU re-branded this past season as well and this is the best they could do: That's just awful. The Village People are missing their Lumberjack.

In defense of UNC, they recently updated that hideous logo to this:

UW-Milwaukee? Looks like "Scar" from "The Lion King"...

James Madison University?

OK, 82SiouxGuy, I'll try to find some smaller-school logos and see if anything really sticks in the collective heads here as a great idea for branding vs "ND"... How about Northern Colorado?

So much potential for a kick-a** logo and jerseys with the name "Ducks"...and yet, they're both a mess.

Exactly! You absolutely have to have a mascot on a t-shirt to sell merchandise. Just ask Oregon about their O, Michigan about their M, Alabama about their A, Wisconsin about their W, Oklahoma about their OU, Tennessee about their T, Washington about their W, Miami about their U...wait a second! Those aren't logos, they're letters!

Brilliant! I'm taking the University of North Dakota Dukes!

Well, the sun and the dog are most likely affiliated with Native American imagery anyways, so there's that...

Better?

Or that.

Good effin' grief!

Then cue the "anthracitic chrome" helmets and "pro combat NoDak Volt" colored jerseys...

Great quote!

I have no problem with an alternate jersey. Not a Notre Dame fan at all but their "green jersey" was always pretty cool. Same thing with the Miami Hurricanes with the green jersey and orange jersey (along with the road whites). Florida has the orange jersey - Georgia had the black one year or two. My issue is with schools like Oregon, whose brand is so diluted with what seems like 300 possible combinations of helmet/jersey/pants.

"Tell ya what, Jonesie, there's an extra $50K in the pot for you if we lose by less than 20 to NDSU and finish within 3 games of .500 at the end of the regular season. Another $25G's if we make the Big Sky tournament. Deal?"
