Goon Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I guess I am wondering why we would need to check in with RHHiT before UND picks a nickname. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted September 1, 2014 Share 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.

Finn flick Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I like Norsemen. Would make for a good Logo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted September 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald joker Posted September 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxperfan7 Posted September 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted September 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonadub Posted September 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted September 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat man 01 Posted September 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Chimp-monks ... I like it; however, (and there's always a however) ...
