Siouxperdouper Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Why do we need a nickname people, why? I feel the administration is wanting a nickname to try and make the Sioux name go away, which it's not any time soon. What is wrong with just North Dakota? NCAA=HYPOCRITS!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackheart Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 In the context that the perpetually aggrieved might find it offensive to blacks. You think that's not possible. They went after Ol Miss because they decided it came from the name for a female house slave not that it was an affectionate name for University of MISSISSIPPI! I kid you not. Black Stripes is about as offensive as Green Circles or Yellow Stars...sounds like a box of Lucky Charms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Along the same lines we could be the blur or instead of stripes Black Box Loved it until I tried visualizing a logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runaroundsioux Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I am for just being North Dakota, however if it comes down to having to have a nickname (which I'm still not convinced of), has Big Green been mentioned? Big Red works for Cornell and they don't have an official mascot. Flame away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxSioux Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I haven't put one in the mix for a while. Phantoms or Green Phantoms Perhaps UND could get Rolls Royce as a sponsor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
