krisg Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Has anyone seen this Suhaki deal? it looks like a way to keep the name alive until UND finds a new name. I found it pretty interesting how it all plays out. The clothing looks high quality and the design is sharp. Here is the site www.suhaki.com , I think its cool, whats everyone else think?

dlsiouxfan Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I hate this idea more than any other one I've heard out there. If this is given any serious consideration by anyone other than a few deranged hockey fans then I'd start having some serious doubts about UND as an institution.

andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I don't think this is such a bad idea. North Dakota is already home to speed goats, and as best I can tell, a suhaki is basically some kind of foreign speed goat. And to give a nod to our most prestigious and storied sport is just fine with me (heck, thats where Grafton Spoilers comes from in a sense). I like it I think.

letsSIOUXum Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 * Editors Note: Suhaki (soo-ha-kee) is oftentimes mistaken for a legendary collegiate ice hockey team located at the Ralph Engelstad Arena, Grand Forks, North Dakota, United States of America. Hmmmmm...... I'v never said "I'm going to a Sioux hockey game" and someone thought I was going to watch some goats. I do like the way they say " LEGENDARY" however.

Us Fighting Sioux fans need something to lighten up the air in the mean time and this looks like a fun concept. I am sure there will be some haters out there but just like anything that will be. I thought it was neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in no way the head of the Suhaki concept, but I did develope the website and decorate the clothing. I am a big Sioux Hockey fan, both my wife and I went to college at UND and we have been Fighting Sioux season ticket holders for 5 years. I am not very happy about the Sioux nickname being retired and will support anyone that actually has a concept that is fun to have around for awhile. Sorry Chad if I offended you.

Big A HG Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 It's pretty obvious when someone comes on the board with no post count, and tells you to check out something new and exciting like it's the next great thing. You'd have more credibility in my eyes if you didn't play the clueless card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDSUAlum08 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I was the one who put it on the Bisonville board. Pretty interesting and clever. I guess I don't think it's something to get mad about. I don't follow UND although I did have a cousin play football and another played hockey at UND. I don't think the website is to make the new nickname 'Suhaki'. I think it's a fun thing for fans to do as in "Save Our Suhaki". That's why I think it's so clever. It would be funny to see a lot of people wearing that stuff around, although I would never see it much as I live in the Twin Cities. I usually follow the SDSU and NDSU boards. Probably will be following this one a little more that UND is finally getting through to full fledge D-1. Best of luck in the Big Sky.

I have no part in this thing. But I will say that nicknames have come from a particular sport before. My other favorite team, Notre Dame's nickname came from their early football teams. And Grafton Spoilers got their nickname from beating Grand Forks Central in hockey and playing "spoiler" (at least this is what I'v heard). Nothing wrong with Suhaki at all as far as i'm concerned.

A Suhaki is an Asian Antelope basically. Why would they have a problem with that? And do Notre Dame hockey or basketball players have an issues with their name, because it comes from the football team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not positive but I dont think the guys that came up with the Suhaki concept even remotely thought that this would be the new nickname, just to poke a little fun at the NCAA and prove that the Sioux name can live on.

And do Notre Dame hockey or basketball players have an issues with their name, because it comes from the football team? Not even close to the same. I don't care what a suhaki is. A UND football player would not be happy if their team nickname was pronounced "Sioux Hockey". It doesn't matter where the nickname comes from, whether it was hockey or football or the geology department. As a joke, or a way to poke fun at the NCAA this is fine. But there is no way that any other sport on campus would support the actual use of suhaki as a nickname. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
