dmksioux Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Consultants caution using Roughriders due to dirty connection.... Hard to find unique one out of diluted names. Seriously? If this is the case and Roughriders doesn't at least make the final three, then would have to think the fix is in. Worst case scenario, UND Spirit... :-( Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Fyi: im following the Burleson girl from the herald who is there, in case you want the source of the info Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Committee split on hawk names. Some really like some dont Quote
Shawn-O Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Dirty connection...Red River High School? It's dirty connotations. What a bunch of BS. University of Southern California anyone? Quote
dmksioux Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 So has anyone suggested that "Spirit" has potential negative connotations because it might encourage UND students to drink "spirits?" Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 It's dirty connotations. What a bunch of BS. University of Southern California anyone? Had it on my phone but spell check kicked in... I agree, dumb reasoning. Quote

SWSiouxMN Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Nodak is well liked. But has implementation issues Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Lowell thinks older alumni will go for nodak Quote
dmksioux Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 So are they planning on narrowing down the list tat this meeting? Quote
Hayduke Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 These consultants need to take a hike! Yeah...I'm coming to that conclusion... Maybe the Sundogs might he the last one standing.. Yuk... Quote
dmksioux Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 How do these consultants not see a potential "dirty" connection with Nodaks??? Pretty easy to switch an 'a' to an 'I' and have a "dirty" connection. Quote
darell1976 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Yeah...I'm coming to that conclusion... Maybe the Sundogs might he the last one standing.. Yuk... Knowing these people they will say Sundogs are too "violent" as a name. Quote
Hayduke Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Knowing these people they will say Sundogs are too "violent" as a name. Solar Kittens. Much friendlier. Quote
darell1976 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Isn't North Dakota and Nodaks the same thing? Quote
dmksioux Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Isn't North Dakota and Nodaks the same thing? Yup...don't like it. Basically says we weren't smart enough to think of anything else so let's just shorten the state name. Quote

SWSiouxMN Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Talks If staying north dakota, development of a different logo and mascot for it. Quote
Cratter Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 So are they not ranking them yet with their point system? Is anything gonna come out of this meeting. Or just the negatives of every name copying siouxsports. Quote
darell1976 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 @AnnagatorB: Carla Christofferson notes majority of public wanted North Dakota as nickname but says many are just mad about Sioux logo retirement. Quote
