dagies Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Please pardon the crude artwork. Spirit Lake already gave the University permission to use the logo. Just got to change the nickname. It's not my first choice, but....I could actually live with this. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Not just the word "Sioux" but that logo (which is as American Indian related as it can get) puts UND on the NCAA list. To keep that logo, just like the name, takes two tribes. Quote
tho0505 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 That logo is offensive. Please remove it and destroy any remembrance of it....Please and thank you! Quote

Sioux27 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Honest to god.......get rid of the pink....... From Wyomings Post on Bisonville-- A lot of envy up there. Bison football is back on track after we had a much better transition that they have. Our BB team is young and looks to be outstanding. UND is fallng on their face during the transition. The football team is terrible. The BB team is not much better. And, they are an island in a far flung conference. They are in such a !@#!$ position that they have to try and ridicule our success......since they have had no success thus far in the DI move...... __________________ Proud member of TOHBTC #5 11-29-2010, 04:19 AM I find it hard to believe that you actually care about our school colors. Based on what you posted on bville, it surprises me you keep coming back to our sight. Quote

To keep that logo, just like the name, takes two tribes. You may be right but it does bring up a question. UND was told to keep the nickname Fighting Sioux they had to have the two closest tribes consent. But if the nickname then changes, and the name is actually a reference to one tribe, would that possibly be a loophole? Quote

But if the nickname then changes, and the name is actually a reference to one tribe, would that possibly be a loophole? Was there any discussion in the agreement that would ban UND from forming a deal with only Spirit Lake? The two tribe rule was for using "Fighting Sioux" and the current logo, but what if there was some change to the name and logo, but were still Native American in substance (with full approval from the Nation? Get Spirit Lake on board, and then inform the NCAA. Too bad UND's administration is hostile to the current name and can't wait for the change to take place. Quote

Not sure what his, or the other non/anti-Sioux fan obsession is with Sioux sports or this site. 1 Quote

Athletics. http://www.und.edu/dept/purchase/docs/Styleguide.pdf University in general. http://writersconference.und.nodak.edu/university-relations/branding/standards.cfm Using the Pantone Matching System of spot colors, UND green is designated as PMS 347 green and the orange is designated as PMS 165 orange. The pink is PMS 189 pink. Quote

dakota fairways Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Yeah, but they don't have The Fighting Sioux in the Big Sky. The Big Sky does not object to the nickname, the NCAA does. Why does the nickname need the adjective "Fighting"? Wouldn't "Sioux" be less 'hostile and abusive', and possibly receive Standing Rock approval? After all, that is what the nickname was for most of the history of its use - and if you go back to the Standing Rock pipe ceremony, wasn't that the name that was actually agreed to? Quote

No Well, you'd have to explain why Fighting makes it any more hostile and abusive to the tribes? The nickname is based on a particular quality (a quality to be admired, I might add, not one to be denigrated. Why else would you select a nickname?). No different than if we called it the Fighting Pioneers, or Fighting Dakotans, or Fighting Vikings, etc etc. Quote
GeauxSioux Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Please pardon the crude artwork. Spirit Lake already gave the University permission to use the logo. Just got to change the nickname. IF they were able to keep the logo to go along with North Dakota Fighting Spirit to honor the people of Spirit Lake and the stand they took, I could support this. Quote
