darell1976 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Just Hawks is different UND Green Hawks? Quote
Snake Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 C'mon Fetch ... there's this minor league baseball team in Fargo ... you have to think just a little bit. That, plus Denver's jelly donut looking logo is supposed to be a red-tailed hawk. Quote

ScottM Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Hate on it? No, just ... (wait for it) ... grouse about it. I'd prefer to not be prey. Hawks? Prairie Wolves? Rabid Chimpmunks? Quote
Goon Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I guess I am wondering why we would need to check in with RHHiT before UND picks a nickname. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I guess I am wondering why we would need to check in with RHHiT before UND picks a nickname. Goon: Your homework for today is to learn and understand the phrase "tongue-in-cheek". Quote
The Sicatoka Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Well, at least it's not the name of a condom... Arkansas-LITTLE ROCK (there's a joke there somewhere) VIRGINia State (another joke in the mix there also) Troy University (of Alabama) University of Southern California ... all Trojans. Quote
Finn flick Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I like Norsemen. Would make for a good Logo 2 Quote
Goon Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Responding to Sicatoka's quip... I know what tongue-in-cheek means. I am just worried someone will think we need to get the new nickname approved by the anti-Sioux nickname crowd first. Quote

Somehow I knew you would respond to my comment.. :-). Just giving you a, hard time. Lol. Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I like Norsemen. Would make for a good Logo yes it would Quote
Emerald joker Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Has "Challengers" been thrown out there yet? Doesn't offend anyone and makes perfect sense for a sports teams name! That offends me, i dont know why it just does, isnt that how it works you just say something offends you but dont have a reason why, ok im done now, maybe lol Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 So why not Warriors? What if UND chooses the name "Warriors" to honor the military men and women who fight for this country every day? I get that it has a native american connotation because of other schools that have used it , but could the NCAA really say we can't use the name in reference to our military? And would any military, past or present, be offended by a University choosing a name that honors them? Quote
MafiaMan Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I like Norsemen. Would make for a good Logo No chance that happens due to obvious issues with branding and women's athletics. There won't be such a thing as Norsemen and Norsewomen or Lady Norsemen, sorry. Quote
zonadub Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Responding to Sicatoka's quip... I know what tongue-in-cheek means. I am just worried someone will think we need to get the new nickname approved by the anti-Sioux nickname crowd first. We/you may not think RHHIT or the pc crowd must give their approval, but Kelly and his committee probably do. Quote
MafiaMan Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Rabid Chimpmunks? Hmnnn...rabid...suggesting "fierce" and chimpmunks, a new sort of hybrid offspring of a chimpanzee and a chipmunk. I'd have to see a logo sketch first, but I'm intrigued so far... Quote
Meat man 01 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 The Warriors the best name I've heard so far. Sure beats the Cavaliers that was an ugly logo. Still don't know what's wrong with leaving it plain UND At least the so-called bison and fans can't make any derogatory statements from you UND. Well maybe knowing them they would come up with something. Quote

A chimpanzee, in a floor length robe with a hoodie, with a maniacal, foaming at the mouth look to his face. I could go for that. ] Quote
The Sicatoka Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Chimp-monks ... I like it; however, (and there's always a however) ... Logo is already taken -- Providence Friars A monk as a mascot? You want the Catholic Church crashing down on us next? Quote
