    not PC, but I've always thought that was a seriously cool image.  It's just too bad that it's associated with one of the worst groups of people in human history.   Drop that Nazi symbol and the wreath and it's a cool logo, but even I agree you can't go there.

    Seriously, just for fun.....pretend the Nazis never existed.  Or perhaps they never used this image.     Replace the swastika with the interlocking ND.  Not bad.  But they did, so you can't.   And I agree with that. 

    I like it too, especially with the ND inside the wreath instead.

    I also thought the giant bird on the Firebirds/Trans Ams was a cool image.

    Ralph Engelstad was a great guy to UND. Did a lot for the school and athletics. Like him I'm a huge Sioux supporter. Will be voting Roughriders again, Hawks is the worst name ever (I highly suspect that "Fighting" will be dropped from the official name.) 

    However, maybe Ralph wouldn't have much of a problem with Hawks since it means we could transition to something this. The soldiers that wore it were pretty into fighting if I recall and a lot of North Dakotans have German background. Win-win, right?1297px-Reichsadler_der_Deutsches_Reich_%

    Fighting Hawks 100% illogical & 0% unique

    I wonder what other logos hes referring to? I've only see "the one."

    I've also seen one that's only a little different from that blackhawks bird logo everyone has been seeing. It's green and more angular with the feathers from the Sioux logo in the same order. I just tried searching for 10 minutes to find it, but had no luck. I just saw it last week so it's driving me nuts I can't track it down again.

    Agreed. The whole point of the runoff was to get a name to 50%. Now that they've abandoned that principle, why not just declare Fighting Hawks the winner, as it had a clear lead over the other two? What's the point of seeing how the Sundogs and Northstars votes get distributed across the remaining three, but not seeing how the Nodaks votes would get distributed across Roughriders and Fighting Hawks.

    Exactly my thoughts since the beginning. I posted this to the UND facebook page comments as well.

    It's funny how detached from reality this board is. Fighting hawk seemed like an afterthought here and is the most popular. There is weird outrage that the second and third choices are essentially tied so both are in the final runoff, but in reality it is the most practical decision. 

     

    This board is fun, but completely delusional. 

    Because adding that third name basically guarantees Fighting Hawks still wins. If it was only the top two, there's tons more votes to divvy up between Hawks and Roughriders.
