Okay now let's not be ridiculous - I'm going to assume you are exaggerating for effect. Seriously though, it would be a great idea to somehow tie into the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which spent more time in what would become North Dakota than any other state. Logo possibilities abound. An aside - the expedition was largely responsible for establishing the reputation of ferocity for the Sioux Indians. Also the state highway that follows the east side of the Missouri River through North Dakota is 1804, and the one the follows the west side is 1806 - the former being the year they went up river and the latter the year of their return trip.

Fair enough. A simple "wrong" would've done just fine, as Billy Madison once said.

I personally do not like the nickname Nokota at all... 

 

In fairness, Noke could be our mascot and could be a Nokota and our logo could have a Nokota on it to honor our history.

 

Mustang is a generic term for a wild horse...we could be the Mustangs with a logo that is a mean Nokota and a mascot who is Noke

Along those lines, someone had posted Reapers previously.

Actually, this one has been growing on me lately.  I like the different directions you can go with this one (agricultural and UAV).

 

 

 

Fighting Peacemakers.  

Brilliant!  I think we have a winner!

whatever the nickname is, they should make sure it works by plugging it into Looker's goal announcement.  "Here's Your University of North Dakota Fight-ing Sioux Scoooooring!  :p

you must mean "Here's your University of North Dakota Fighting Nooooooooooooooorse Scoooooooooring!"

When the window of opportunity opens in which to actually pick a nickname, I say ignore it. Let it be a non-event.

At least until the people of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe are heard via a general ballot of tribal members & not by a vote of the tribal council.

But until then I'm OK with "North Dakota" for a while ... perhaps quite a while.

"Here's your University of North Dakota" pauses (crowd chants Fighting Sioux) cue Looker  "Scoooring"
