Don't forget about the butt kissing for "mama gaber"

I am with you. That group on facebook is garbage and is nothing more than non alumni who wont move on. You can tell that they only like the logo due to their willingness to sell counterfeit and non licensed products on there.

I wouldn't doubt that people would switch over. However, with this PC climate we have I HIGHLY doubt any new sports franchise would adopt a native american nickname.

You are 100% correct that this nickname divisiveness does UND no good. Berry and company (hockey program, REA) need to get fully on board with the nickname change. There is no reason that a freshman hockey player tells a reporter that he plays "Fighting Sioux hockey" when they haven't been the fighting sioux for years.

I was going to say late 80's early 90's.

I'm not going to throw my hat in for the job, watching them skate just gets me tired and out of breath!

One works for the state and the other doesn't...

You sure showed them!

Incorrect. The football team had the blackhawk logo on the sleeves of their football jerseys for some time.

You know what exactly "this" is.

Careful with that, some will say you're calling her DUMB....

Like I said before, this doesn't happen under Blais or Hak. Berry and his family know what kind of position they are in and anything they do will be under severe scrutiny, so why put yourself in a position like this? Why do people feel the need to go after Rob Port for doing his job? If this happened at Moo U, everyone on here would be up in arms.

I stated it in jest....

I am 100% speculating on it but it wouldn't surprise me if they did.

*sarcasm voice* Engelstad Foundation paid the money...

Something like this doesn't happen under Blais or Hak.

Why is that being ignorant? Of course they made money off of it. Look at all the merchandise that has flown off the shelf with this. Nobody trademarks something like this and gives it away for free, use your head…

Whatever you say but the people who know me on this site would say otherwise. I’d be happy to meet you or anyone at Judy’s and discuss this. I’d also be happy to discuss it with Berry.

I'll stand up to my comments any day of the week and take your money while I am at it. I can't help it that you get offended by words so easily.

well that part is true.

I understand reading is hard for some but I never used the word dumb. A lot of kids that are in college do not know how to wash clothes, does that make them dumb?

If you are not looking for a payment, why obtain the trademark? Why not let the University have it right away?

Especially when one state employee makes $450k already.

I don't think his daughter is smart enough to do this and then bring it to her dad to be used on merchandise.
