    I don't think people are saying that every student athlete or coach has to be as fired up as Bubba is about the new logo. Can you not like the final product, sure. But these student atheletes are representing the University of North Dakota and the Athletic department. Not saying they have to fall into line and all state publicly their support. But as a representative of the UND athletic department, they should at least show a little refrain from criticizing it so vocally and publicly. You want to talk counterproductive........well there you go.

    Hockey players are part of the #hockeyonlyfan #siouxforever fanbase. Big surprise!!

    So there is a lot of mixed emotions regarding the announcement of the new Fighting Hawks logo for the University of North Dakota. I am disappointed with the negative comments that are out there by people in our fanbase. I think we can all agree that this whole nickname ordeal has been a long, messy, unorganized, cluster of a process. Were there things they could have done better, sure. Were there other nicknames and logos that could have been better, sure. But we have now come to a point where instead of bickering amongst ourselves and complaining about nickname issues, we must come together and rally around the new name and logo and move forward and focus on the important things for UND athletics. And that is success on the playing field/court/ice/etc. The Fighting Sioux name and logo was great. But it’s time for all of us as UND fans to accept reality and embrace change. As much as many of us want to be the Fighting Sioux again and have the old logo back, it’s not gonna happen. So instead of using all that effort to complain about change and cause a divide by refusing to move on, why don’t we all use our energy to support the University of North Dakota and its athletic teams and athletes. We will always be fans of the University of North Dakota. The name and logo has changed several times in our past, but the passion and tradition of the University of North Dakota has always been the same. Let us embrace the change and move forward and continue to all cheer for our team together, united. #UNDproud

    One initial positive from the new logo is it makes it easier to fit it between the hash marks at the center of the field in the Alerus Center!!

    Putting the inital(s) of your state in a college logo is a pretty standard thing to do. Many Universities do it. I think it was a smart idea to do it as well.

    The more I look at it, the more I like it.

    The N has a little North Stars feel to it!

    Schloss already broke that today. http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=103359 Looks like its just the logo and the move up to FBS left to go!!

    Which brings up another interesting point. We read all the time how former players sign these big contracts. Curious to see how loyal they are in the area of donating back to the University that gave them the opportunity to better their career. Now I am not talking about guys like Nick who get their rookie deal. I'm talking about the Toews or Parise's out there that sign tens of million dollar contacts. Is that something that is public info? Or can a guy like Parise make an anonymous donation to the athletic department (specifically hockey)?

    That's pretty good!! Montgomery is a pretty class act. I'd say all the coaches in the NCHC are that way as well. Dang, I miss the days of hating on this rival coaches that we played all the time (Gwoz, Lucia, Eaves).

    Speaking of, I can't even imagine what a "Nodak" logo would look like. Fighting Hawks is generic, but at least we know what we are getting. With Nodak, it could be anything!!

    Well, when Luke wins the Cup with the Blawkhawks, he will bring it back to GF!!

    Motto for the 2016-2017 UND Hockey team....... (Need to trademark that before Schloss steals it!!) Reload, Repeat. (Need to trademark that before Schloss steals it!!)
  16. Siouxperfan7
    Why, to make a further divide between UND fans?
  17. Siouxperfan7
    So are we getting an official announcement of a press conference that will unvail the new logo this week?
  18. Siouxperfan7
    So no offense to Bennet Brien, but his logo for the Fighting Hawks was definitely a swing and a miss!!

    Can someone convince these students that you can tailgate before the game? Any more often than not, if you wander up to a tailgating group and tell them you are students that are here just checking it all out, they will hook you up with some free food and beverages!! I never understood why tailgating has dropped off so drastically. Whether you are undefeated or haven't won a game, the tailgating will always be the same. Drinking a beer, eating some wings, burgers, brats, whatever while playing bag toss or throwing the football around is a good time no matter how you look at it.

    You can't really have it both ways. You can't take away student seats and move the student section and expect more students to show up. Doing that would discourage them from showing up. I don't think that UND students realize how lucky they are to haev seats as good as they do. Look at the Fargodome. Student section is from the 20 yd line to the end zone and then behind one of the end zones. UND studenst have prime seats. Need to take advantage of that.

    I've seen it!! It's a hawk with accents of green white and black colors in the logo. Looks pretty sweet!! Was that too vague, or did you want a better description?
  22. Siouxperfan7
    It's "Outhouse 101" in the course catalog.
  23. Siouxperfan7
    I though he moved away?

    If you get stuck in a gas station bathroom, you might have gone to NDSU
