I just saw the football game jersey on twitter. With all the outrage regarding the hockey usage of the logo, why does the football team use a different font for "North Dakota", than what was built around the Fighting Hawks branding? I would think those on here would be "outraged" at the noncompliance.

The truly honest answer to the original question is that in the Brien logo era, the football team had a 1" logo on the collar of the jersey (bottom of the neckline) and NEVER had that logo at midfield. It is true that the basketball team had the logo on the side of their shorts a few years, but also NEVER had that logo at center court. It will also be true that the hockey sweaters this year will have the Hawk logo on their shoulders, and will likely be similar size to the logo that was on the side of the basketball shorts, So being honest, the hockey team this year will have a larger Hawk logo than the football team ever wore during the Brien logo era. I will also guess that on the ice (maybe not this year, but quickly) you will see the Hawk logo appear in the same area, and near the same size, as was at the Scheel arena regional ice this March. You can decide for yourself the real "outrage" of some people.

You can tell by the responses on here that the NCHC.TV is extremely variable. This year is much worse than last year. Some times it works great and other times it does not. When it first started there was not Apple product streaming, so I ran through Internet Explorer on a very fast WiFi system and it was choppy. They said to use Google Chrome, so I did and it was not much better. Definitely not HD, but I really had very few streaming issues of it syncing. When they started streaming through Apple products, I bought an Apple TV (third generation, which I still use) and streamed on our TV with that and both an IPad II and now a newer Air2. That worked very well last year. This year with the same system (faster internet WiFi than years past), I had numerous errors getting it to stream to the Apple TV. I can stream many other live programs/shows on our Apple TV without problems and they do so flawlessly. I cannot replicate the error that the NCHC.TV streaming shows. I still get the error initially, but after several attempts it works. The NCHC.TV is just not consistent and is in fact getting far worse this year. I am assuming the issue with my Apple TV has something to do with the 4th generation Apple TV setup that you can get the NCHC.TV App loaded into without having to stream it from your Apple device. That is the only thing that I can come up with, since I had no issues last year.

After the finally have "some" of the bugs worked out with the Airplay, the feed got very choppy in the third period. Using same system as last year, I had few issues. This is a Neulion issue with the feed. I understand some of the audio issues come from Midco, but the streaming is on them. Not many folks hardware their internet, nor should it be expected. I have extremely fast internet feeds, and have no issues with other live feeds. Extremely disappointing, and Neulion is not good at fixing things.

We just went from the "BOY" line, to the "SOS" line. Lots of changes.

I agree they have had serious issues across the board since the start of the season. This is the first weekend that I have been able to stream the game on Apple TV (3rd generation), from my IPad Air2. It was not without some error messages and difficulties, but at least I got it to work this weekend. I had sent in numerous complaints regarding the issue, and it still is not perfect, but it did work. I had used the same system all of last year and did not have any problems. They first blamed my system, but NCHC.TV is the only streaming that I have had issues with on my Apple TV. Fox Sports Go and the Wisconsin-BC game streamed perfectly. CNN, Blaze TV, ESPN and others stream perfectly. Neulion is definitely a weak link and something needs to be done very quickly to improve customer support and overall capabilities. They no longer do the NHL, so something is up. The only thing that I would say is, Please-Please-Please, continue to send them complaints and copy the NCHC folks as well. That has helped my situation.

The NCHC better review Neulion as their choice to stream these games. What a joke it is tonight. Freezing up every few minutes.

I want to ask folks about using an Apple product to go through Apple TV on your television. Last year I had no problems using an IPad2, or an IPad Air2 to stream the games through my Apple TV to my television. This year I get an error message on my Apple TV as I try to stream it on my television. I have yet to watch a game through Apple TV this year at all. I can stream every other site that I have CNN, Blaze, ESPN, etc. through my IPad to the Apple TV without a problem. Only NCHC.TV has this issue that I can tell. I actually pulled up my older IPad and got the same error message. I have contacted NCHC.TV and they say they had a problem last week, but it was fixed. Just checking.

What garbage Neulion is once again. I cannot even watch it on my IPad, as it is now saying that video is not supported. Please, e-mail nchc-tv. I have done this in the past and Neulion fails to give any reasonable response. I than pass along their garbage response to Josh Fento, and something gets done. There are plenty of apologists for Neulion out there, but they have not supported NCHC-TV much at all. I air played from my IPad all last year to a big screen with good luck. That did not even work when I did get it to play a little.

Times they are a changin'. Three rounds in and Toronto has not selected any Canadian kids. Three Americans, one Russian and one Swede. I thought Mattson might be going in this area. His grading was all over the place though.

I know this thread is specific to the reaction and grading of the logo. I would like to address it in a different way. We see the numerous pages trashing the logo and some say just to move on and suck it up. My question is, if this was the logo associated with "Fighting Hawks", would it have even survived to be in the final five? I know how I graded it, and I used that criteria in doing so.

Even when the football team only had the Sioux (or no) logo in minor ways, they still had the "other" logo for UND athletics. Now there is only one logo.
The hockey team used the interlocking ND on their shoulders for many years in different variants. The football team did not use either Sioux logo in any prominent way on their jersey, nor did men's basketball team. So I would say the hockey team has been more of a "team" player than any of the other UND athletic teams. We are still the University of North Dakota, so if they want to stay with the prominent "North Dakota" on their sweaters for hockey, so be it.

Which is a shame since it is the logo of the University of North Dakota hockey team.
Why is it such a shame. Please understand some logic as the football team only used the Sioux logo in very, very minor ways over the years. As President Kelley said when he started. They play as the University of North Dakota, so if a team wants to just have North Dakota on their jerseys, it should be OK for everyone. Their decision.

The only way this works on anything is if the helmet is gray or black. Even the Black will distort the small amount of black in the logo. THis process only has grown worse. As I stated, this logo cannot work on anything green or white without some kind of border.
-
The logo is far worse than I thought it would be. How can this possibly be put on a green or white jersey? As expected the football team will embrace it and it will go on the gray helmets, which is not one of our school colors. So glad they are embracing it since in past memory they never had a Sioux logo on their helmets. Those that said this is needed for marketing should be outraged as well. The only thing this will go on is a black or gray hat. There is no way on earth the hockey team, or any of our teams should use this logo on a jersey or sweater that is green or white. Glad the hockey team already got their jerseys and we will not have to look at these on those jerseys. This is the true definition of "epic fail".

Fraternities and Sororities were hard-core righties when I was in school, but maybe that has changed. I don't think it has. And PBS is always asking for private donations because they need them; they are not 100% government funded like you implied. And I never had a professor impose his beliefs and/or opinions on me when I was in school. My professors (with few exceptions) were awesome to work with and were always open and welcoming during their office hours.
Personally, I think righties want a college experience that caters to their worldview. That is what private schools are for (Liberty Bob Jones, etc.). But remember, you have to pay for it yourself, no "sponging" off the government for loans and grants.
Please quote me correctly. I never said they were 100% funded, only funded to a great degree, in fact I mentioned the fund drives in my quote. Not sure when you went to school, but I went there in the mid-80's and it is not the same place. Did not have interaction with the frats or sororities to any degree, so I will not reference any of those changes. I also never knew that a loan was sponging, unless you never pay it back. Last I checked there was still interest on what you pay back, so the government actually makes money on that.

And what would you call what Rush Limbaugh does day after day?
I guess it depends on where you stand, doesn't it?
For what it's worth, the fraternities and sororities on campus are very right-leaning and are a powerful force on-campus and in the community. And the business and aviation schools probably lean more to the right as well. So there is some balance there.
Bottom line is that UND is a great place to get an education and I want to keep it that way.
Universities are getting more and more progressive and indoctrination is a serious issue. Your comparison of Rush is a joke since you can choose to listen to Rush, you pay for an education and you should be free to voice your thoughts and not get entwined in having to feed back a professors opinion to get a grade. The idea of a university teaching and creating free thinkers is an issue. There has been more and more research on what the value of higher education actually is compared to what it used to be. I will qualify that I am not a Rush fan and listen to him rarely. There would be progressives that would be his equal if they would get the money from advertisers. Progressives also have liberal leaning PBS that I will mention the tax payers also fund to a great degree. There are arguments on how that should have equal time due to taxpayers not having a choice in its programming other than some fund drives. It would be interesting how you see the frats and sororities being right leaning. Have not heard that to be the case, but you might be right that they may be further right than other students.

It is the old font and has nothing to do with "stretching". It is not the font associated with "North Dakota" in the "Fighting Hawks" rollout. Not even close. It is an old North Dakota font.
