Fetch Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I could live with that maybe get the State Board to ask them or get a referal petition but don't hire the Hockey Team to get signatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBR Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 We should be the "replacements" in recognition of the NFL replacement refs. Our mascot will be a uniformed referee walking around with a white cane as the blind use wearing a pair of shades....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishSiouxFan Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Maybe we should be the UND "Alerus", that way those two gi-normous "Alerus Center" logos could serve as our school's mid-field logo. Seriously though, those two logos should have been scaled down considerably, and at least an interlocking ND should be at midfield. That would go a long way in making the Alerus feel more like home.

SIOUXFAN97 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 plus with the Fighting Norse nickname these guys/gals could lead the fb team onto the field....or they could be halftime entertainment....or be the people that pull the field goal nets??? the use for these people would be endless http://www.bakkentoday.com/event/article/id/239441/publisher_ID/40/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Here's an interesting YouTube vid that Bradley (formerly the Braves) put together in their quest to remedy their nickname problem. They are essentially in the same spot UND is in terms of a nickname. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0NgcGetxwc&feature=youtu.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobIwabuchiFan Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Change Red River to the River Rats(as us Central alumns called them) and there will be no problems. I'm sure Red River could accept the Rats as long as you Central guys go back to the Foreskins....It must hurt to lose two really cool team nicknames in a lifetime...

Bob 3 actually. I lost my elementary and jr. high nicknames (Warriors), Central Redskins, and North Dakota Fighting Sioux. I still have the Cleveland Indians holding on.

ZapPoke Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 A lot of good stuff on here. Too bad it has fizzled out in the last month. I still like just having DAKOTA on the uniforms, but as many have said, the NCfuqnAA will never let that be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenWing Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 University of North Dakota Nokota is a little bit too much of a mouth full but I love the idea. What about the North Dakota Nokes? I love the idea of Ben Brien designing a horse logo with a similar style to the Sioux logo. I was at an art show and saw a buffalo he did in that style and it was really cool. My top pick for a nickname (which inspired my username) is the North Dakota Green Wings. A green-winged teal is a duck but it could also be used with an aviation connotation. I think it be great if the hockey team used a modified version of the Red Wings logo! Another duck nickname would be the "Drakes". A drake is a male duck. While it's not exactly a fierce animal, I think it is a fierce name. My last suggestion that I haven't seen on here is the "Fighting Toms". A Tom is a male turkey and I think it would be unique and tie in to ND well. I swear I'm not a sexist, bird-lover. Here's a link to a green Red Wings jersey that could get your imaginations going: http://www.paylessauthenticjerseywholesale.com/pic/Detroit-Red-Wings--235-Nicklas-Lidstrom-Green-St-Patty-27s-Day-Embroidered-nhl-Hockey-jerseys-1874-92561.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
