I was just referring to logo possibilities. I agree with you that North Dakota Nodaks is redundant. I used Canucks as an example of a team that can use a variety of logos because they have an undescript nickname, not because of the phonetics of their name.

It's not exactly apples to apples, but if you once again use the Vancouver Canucks as an example, the logo possibilities are pretty flexible. They went from their skate logo (one of my all-time favorites) to their current whale logo. If Nodaks wins, it would be cool if they design a logo themed toward the runner-up. That could possibly get more people on board. We could be like Alabama and pick the most irrelevant animal possible to our state/nickname and go with it!

It's a great logo by itself. Many schools like Oklahoma, Ohio State, and Nebraska have made great brands with unique names without a characterized logo. Someone made a great point about differentiating ourselves from Notre Dame. That is a good reason for a new logo but still not a necessity. But for the record, Fighting Sioux will never die before I do. I couldn't help that even if I wanted to -

A new nickname doesn't have to mean new logo, even though I think we will get an additional logo. Many schools like Denver, Michigan, and Indiana don't use logos depicting their nickname. If we select Nodaks I'd like to keep using the ND as our primary. -

I voted for Roughriders, but would vote Nodaks in a runoff vote if the support keeps building from the students and student athletes. This is their school and they are the ones who will build a tradition for others to follow. Them being proud of our new nickname is the most important thing to me. -
Nodaks has a much stronger tie to the past than Fighting Hawks. And does anyone care what the pasture people think?

I agree. If we would have moved up with them I don't think we would have ever lost Dale Lennon and we would have maintained the recruiting advantage we had under him. The admin set us back much further than a win against ndsu can redeem. We should expect to win, even as underdogs
