Agree on that point. I’m not sure I’d like it as much seeing a half dozen different Blackhawk logos on the banners. This is a case of “close enough” for me to be happy. I’m just glad the Brien logos are gone from all of the national championship banners. Nice logo, but didn’t mean anything to someone on the 1959 team!
Wrong. UND is pretty much using the 1996 Blackhawk logo on the 1980’s banners. While it looks better, it was not the one that existed a decade earlier. Further muddying things is that jersey “uniformity” then is not what it is now. You often had Sioux players on the same team sporting different crests on their jersey fronts due to different vendors supplying the school with patches. CRAZY!
At the risk of being banned from this site, I have an issue with #23 being retired, but that’s just my opinion.
I do get misty-eyed, however, at the new era-specific banners hanging in the rafters. They’re gorgeous.
We're due for a 3rd. In fact, a program as successful as North Dakota should have about 2-3 other Hobey Baker trophies sitting inside the cozy confines of REA.
All the chatter about Providence College and they don’t even make the cut. And UMD about to get the “Years of Service” award in recognition of back-to-back national championships. That’s not how this is supposed to work...
Best time ever at Joe Senser’s in Bloomington. The place was packed with North Dakota fans on both nights. After the 2nd win, the entire crowd of Sioux fans started chanting, “Where’s our Beanpot?” Great memories.
