darell1976 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 http://www.bisonville.com/forum/showthread.php?32576-New-UN_-Nickname-Ideas I see BV has a new UND thread all about the new nickname ideas, well they should be experts they have had 3 nicknames (Farmers, Aggies, Bison), and even a school name change (NDAC), so maybe we should ask them for ideas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted mainly Region 8 (now Region 7) teams because that's where I grew up. Some favorites of mine: Kenmare Honkers Grenora Gophers Crosby-Divide County Maroons Was Tolna really the Bluejays and Trojans? How about University of North Dakota Leprechauns? I'm sure Ron His Horse is Thunder would love that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Ron His Horse is Thunder would love that one. There is also the Grand Forks Central Maroon and Grey. The lost nickname between the Redskins and Knights. It was a good filler and some nickname ideas played off of the color like Grey Wolves, but never made the final cut. UND could play off its green color like UND Green XXXX, or UND Fighting XXXX . 11 months and 3 days will be the year of the new nickname.

I'm sure Ron His Horse is Thunder would love that one. Mine mostly from District 8 in Region 2. Yes, Tolna was the Terriers in the 40s -- they got a new Superintendent in '51 who "didn't want to have a yappy little dog as mascot"; he talked them into changing it to the Bluejays. After he left, they decided they didn't like the new name and changed it to the Trojans in '53. source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSioux Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Is it urban lengend or truth that Northwood changed its name from Trojans to something else because of the underlying reference to condoms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choyt3 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Is it urban lengend or truth that Northwood changed its name from Trojans to something else because of the underlying reference to condoms? I doubt it. They are paired with Hatton for some sports now, and I think Griggs County Central for other sports, so if a change was made is was for co-op and new identity purposes. If you ignore the first 10 letters after the www. in this link, you'll find a good discussion about old small town nicknames in ND. Found it in a google search yesterday.

82SiouxGuy Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Mine mostly from District 8 in Region 2. Yes, Tolna source I'm from the same district and remember a lot of those.

ericpnelson Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I played some elementary basketball as a member of the Wolford Wolves. I've always thought Wolves was a sweet mascot name. Makes for cool entrance videos, as long you pretty much avoid anything the timberwolves have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
