yababy8 Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I too think hit squad is good. Hey it's a punn! I guess I should take responsability for name calling. my point was not ehanced by doing so. I'm impressed with the reasonability in the responses! Very rational and thoughfull- full of smarts- must be SIOUX FANS! anyway, sorry if I offended anyone Quote
Diggler Posted February 22, 2008 Author Posted February 22, 2008 This is becoming way too complicated like I feared. Someone else can organize this whole thing. Quote
franchise Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 This is becoming way too complicated like I feared. Someone else can organize this whole thing. Quitter I think a logo is the only thing to worry about. Seems like most like Hit Squad on the front. Something like Fighting Sioux Hockey or UND Hockey on the back, not really a big deal what it is.

Siouxmama Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 This is becoming way too complicated like I feared. Someone else can organize this whole thing. That just made it to easy for you to duck out on this! I like Hit Squad also. The puck in the glass is cool too, and a saying, something like what franchise listed, would be good on the back. Quote
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Who are you and how do you know my name? Now I think you know how I felt when you were talking crap about me.... Quote

The puck in the glass is cool too, and a saying, something like what franchise listed, would be good on the back. is this idea mentioned above possible? http://www.geocities.com/ibasiouxfan/hitsquad_wallpaper.jpg use this as the front and siouxsports.com in white on the back if thats ok to do and put sioux hockey or go sioux under the puck somewhere come on diggler, get back in the mix Quote
MissSioux85 Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 My two cents: I think "Goon Platoon" would work well. The T-shirts could feature an army helmet and/or dog tags. IMHO the army theme works well because Sioux teams are often seen as a band of brothers. It also plays into the "Fighting" part of our nickname and symbolizes determination, teamwork and pride. All for one and one for all! Quote

82SiouxGuy Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Murder Inc. was a myth. There was never an actual group that did hits for the mob. wikipedia is not a good source for anything. Would you prefer Encyclopedia Britannica as a source. Or how about this source. Or maybe this one. Or one more. Murder Inc was as much a myth as the Cosa Nostra themselves. Wikipedia is not always reliable, but this time they were pretty accurate. And they were the most convenient. Quote
dallassiouxfan Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I guess I don't see how this is dispectful to anyone in the least bit. It seems like a stretch to associate a shirt like this with a Sioux fan being murdered 3-4 months ago. Huge stretch Quote
Rick Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I'm sure everyone has the best of intentions here, but I agree with those who have expressed concern. The last thing that UND needs right now is anything negative. We've had more than our share of that already. If some unfortunate accident were to happen at one of the upcoming Sioux hockey games, a picture of fans wearing these shirts could show up on every sports page across the country. Also, I could see Mike Jacobs, David Gipp, His Horse is Thunder, Doreen YB, and every other far lefty using it against the Fighting Sioux logo debate. Scrap the idea......just go out and cheer the Fighting Sioux onto #8 the rest of the year. Quote

Doesn't every fan want to see their team go out and lay some big hits? Quote
Sioux-cia Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Is there a copy right to this design? Quote
UMDDogz Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I'm going to wear a shirt with nothing but a lower case t on it. Take that tCommodore!! Quote
soSIOUXme Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Is there a copy right to this design? I don't think so, I did the lettering myself and changed the colors and pattern slightly of glass from a car window sticker, then changed the puck they had in the picture. I think it is different enough that there wouldn't be a problem. And I don't care if someone wants to use it. I did try it for a white background too , although I like the black better. J Quote
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 So umm..... shirts or no shirts? And is someone going to declare themselves the director of this process? Quote

J can you add GO SIOUX on the back or front and siouxsports.com on the back if thats ok by jim? Quote
soSIOUXme Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 can you add GO SIOUX on the back or front and siouxsports.com on the back if thats ok by jim? I can make you a graphic saying either or both. I have never made t-shirts though so I'm not sure about number of colors, etc. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I can make you a graphic saying either or both. both if possible, thanks. your wallpapers are bad ass!! i still have the one you made me with my pics. its sweet! Quote
hermit Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 How do you figure Murder, Inc. was a myth? The sources quoted in the Wiki article are valid news accounts. Check out Jerry Capeci's http://www.ganglandnews.com/ or his book Mafiaguide for Idiots. The myth behind Murder Inc. is debunked along with the Night of Sicilian Vespers. Links: http://www.ganglandnews.com/column51.htm http://www.ganglandnews.com/column112.htm http://www.ganglandnews.com/column76.htm http://www.ganglandnews.com/column63.htm "Valid news accounts" based on old myths.

Murder Inc was as much a myth as the Cosa Nostra themselves. Wikipedia is not always reliable, but this time they were pretty accurate. And they were the most convenient. Saying that Bugsy Siegle and Meyer Lansky ran a murder for hire racket totally debunks Brittnica as a source. Lansky was very tight with Charles Luciano. Your sources repeated the same old myths. Check my links out for accuracy. Capeci has written numerous books on LCN and a weekly article. Quote
soSIOUXme Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 both if possible, thanks. your wallpapers are bad ass!! i still have the one you made me with my pics. its sweet! Thanks! ok, I'm not real sure what you'd like it to look like but so far I made pretty basic Bleed Green (I like that better than go Sioux, if you're gonna have Siouxsport.com right underneath) and a plain Siouxsports. Let me know if you'd like changes. and I'll work on a Go Sioux too. J Quote
