A snarling canine logo with school color eyes ... where've I seen that ... hmmm ...

Just the head as the logo. Wolf is a bigger and better animal.

Wolves > Coyotes and do dine on Bison

[PhillySioux]

I wonder if Dire Wolves ever roamed this area before extinction?

"UND Football... Winter is Coming."

[DamStrait]

But there is no UND Wolves! There are worse names than this. I think it's a respectable nickname, it will take time to get use to it but it will grow.

I would prefer to go with something totally unique - and connected to the state. Corps of Discovery - the official name of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which spent more time in what would become North Dakota than any other state. Kind of a mouthful, but can be shortened to ' The Corps'. Logo possibilities abound. An aside - the expedition was largely responsible for establishing the reputation of ferocity for the Sioux Indians.

It would be better than "Green and White".

Practically rolls right off the tongue, eh?  Most interesting suggestion I've seen so far...

I love that you're thinking outside the box, but that one would take some getting used to; for me personally, anyways. From a students point of view, it sounds more like a campus committee more than a nickname. On the other hand, we could go by the Discos

[Siouxphan27]

Here we go, Corp of Discovery, here we go! Clap clap.

Gimme a C! Gimme an O! .... Two timeouts later, What's that spell?!

[DamStrait]

As I say "Kind of a mouthful, but can be shortened to ' The Corps'" - which would work much better in chants, etc.

The Corpse?

[Siouxphan27]

The Corpse?

Change the cheer to, "What's that Smell?"

I know, I only kid. It sure beats Roughriders!

[DamStrait]

The Corpse?

I'd advise against saying that to a marine.

[Snake]

The Corpse?

 

Well... that's what Obama would call us!

[MafiaMan]

I'd advise against saying that to a marine.

 

Why not?  Our President does.

 

EDIT:  Snake beat me to it.

Exactly, Wolves has by far the best branding potential, and it's BA. Numerous google searches support that statement.

[mksioux]

Wolves is unoriginal, uninspiring, and infinitely better than whatever nickname this committee ends up actually choosing.

 

Seriously, I'm probably biased because I live in the Twin Cities, but it's too close to Minnesota's NBA team for my liking.  i could live with being the same as NC State and Nevada, but the Timberwolves connection is too close for me.

Oh the stadium will be named Gfhockey Stadium.  The student section can be called the den though.....

The Timberwolves franchise still exists?  I thought they folded after Garnett left

So it will have a sign outside of it saying "gfhockey staydeum"?
