Someone make it green.  Or maybe just a green eye.

Game of Thrones crossover references could be abundant with either Wolves or Dire Wolves.....as long as we stay away from the sensitive topics of Ned Stark's demise, Rob Stark's demise, Catelyn Stark's demise, the Boltons, some of the less favorable moments in the War of the 5 Kings, and any other unfortunate event that is yet to befall the North ???

 

Seriously though, I do like the name.   :)

My coworker thought up this one today. We should be the Redskins and have a big red potato as the logo. We do produce a lot of red skinned potatoes. We already have the Potato Bowl. I say it's worth a shot.

Fun name to throw out but no way they choose a name that tweaks the nose of the NCAA (not saying I don't like it just saying reality says we are in for a name that is very well researched so as not to offend anyone. I say the writing is on the wall for the North Dakota Spirit.)

Ugh I hope you're wrong.

I guess I like some different names that have been tossed around to different degrees but I am almost positive I will be disappointed in whatever is selected. 

 

I have a question, why does the new name need any association to the state or region? 

 

It would make sense but I certainly don't think it should be requirement.  If the best name also has a regional or state association that's great but if something is better I don't feel it should be pushed aside for that specific criteria.  I almost feel like it should be something mythical or extict so it can't be questioned by the party poopers.

 

I know Giants isn't very original or related but a name like that has some interesting logo options.

Spirit of the Sioux concept?

They've thrown "Spirit" out there a lot. Of course it couldn't be "Spirit of the Sioux" and perhaps even the smallest hint that "Spirit" relates to Sioux might be enough to kill it. The "North Dakota Spirit" has been used around the state in various capacities over the years.

Lame.  I'm not contributing another cent if it shakes out this way.
