    Officially a logo used by the Herald, if that means anything. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-basketball/4071719-mens-basketball-und-assistant-dirden-leaving-head-job-oklahoma

    Logo with the new script looks sharp.

    It took NCAA sanctions, conference affiliation, and scheduling issues and a statewide vote to finally drop the Fighting Sioux name. And even that took 7 years!! With the Fighting Hawks name/logo, you have none of that. So the only thing that is pressuring UND for a name/logo change is an online petition. Doesn't really hold as much weight as last time.

    The wasn't even a modification. I just added the new script around the logo. I guess the point I was making was the logo by itself may look bland and boring to some people. But the merchandise that comes out will have a lot of it that is accompanied by the new script. The logo on it's own is now known as UND's logo nationwide yet. It needs time to gain traction and recognition. The logo with the script looks better.

    Could they.......maybe Should they......No Will they......No. Why are we still talking about this?!!

    But racism is a buzz topic right now. He has to stay relevant somehow. Otherwise, what else can he complain about?!
  14. Siouxperfan7
    I guess he can write in to the Herald now and tell us how much better life on the reservation is now that the Sioux name is gone. That all the problems that the nickname created have been fixed now that the University has retired the new name. Should be riveting!!

    And then there's this..... http://www.grandforksherald.com/opinion/op-ed-columns/4069907-erich-longie-fighting-sioux-critics-new-und-logo-just-fine

    We looking at the same logo?!!

    This homecoming logo was produced before the new logo came out. So the new logo wouldn't be on it. They said that they are going to use the interlocking ND logo this year, so this is nothing to hold on hope to in regards to the interlocking ND going away.
  18. Siouxperfan7
    The nickname has been voted on and chosen. The logo has been made. Neither are going to be changed anytime in the near future. The sooner everyone realizes that, the better off we will be.

    Again, UND could have gone with just another bird logo like the many of them that are out there. But instead, the chose something unique that shows a hawk head embedded in our state's initials. Would you be more satisfied if UND came out with just another generic bird logo that looks like every other bird logo out there?
  20. Siouxperfan7
    SiouxVolley, I wish you would turn the debate from how UND is going to go FBS to whther or not UND wants to go FBS and can the afford it. After cutting two programs in the last couple months, I don't think that UND is in the financial status to be looking at adding all these scholarships as well as other expenses that will increase with an FBS move. I have heard absolutely nothing from Faison or any of the Presidents we have had here even make a hint that UND is looking into this. YOu have all these scenarios of how it is going to happen but ZERO evidence that UND even wants to do it? (Or anoy other Big Sky school for that matter).
  21. Siouxperfan7
    Kind of like I have never talked face to face with anyone that voted for Fighting Hawks as the nickname. If you voted for Fighting Hawks and are dissapointed by the logo, I really don't feel bad for you. With all the bird logos out there, UND didn't want to have just another version of a bird in the school colors. This one that these guys came up with isn't horrible, but falls into the group of other bird logos out there. Even if you have the new logo, you can at least recognize that it is unique compared to all the other hawks, eagles, etc. logos out there.
  22. Siouxperfan7
    It is a smart tactic. UND knew that no matter what they released, people would rip on it. Releasing a base logo now and letting that stew a little bit is smart. People can get all their frustrations out about the logo. Then in mid August when the merchandise comes out with slight modifications that make it look better on shirts, hats, etc, then people will be much more receptive to the new logo. Genius idea if that is what UND is doing. Lucky coincidence if not!! Etiher way, the logo when on new merchandise is going to look a heck of a lot better than the shirt Ed was wearing a couple weeks ago!!
  23. Siouxperfan7
    One thing we can ALL agree on is THANK GOD we did not end up with some logo like this that is a cartoon bird with teeth!!!
  24. Siouxperfan7
    Maybe UND should release a new "updated" Fighting Hawks logo that is so awful, that people will be begging that they don't switch to it and keep the original Fighting Hawks logo!!
  25. Siouxperfan7
    Get as many of this merch as you want! Get excited about being a fan of green birds. You can choose to wear whatever you want. #goparrots As for me, I will choose to wear the the logo that represents the University teams that I cheer for. #fightinghawks
