choyt3 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Uh ... I'm sure opposing fans would have a lot of fun with our womens teams ... PS - As soon as UND does this a colony of squatch ... squatches? squaters? squatchi? squish? ... will actually be found and will declare the moniker hostile and abusive. killjoy
UNDBIZ Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Perhaps the women's teams could be the Squatchettes??
ksixpack Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I don't see anything wrong with lady squatches...sure better than lady beavers!

Siouxperfan7 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 "Here's your University of North Dakota Sas-squatch-scoooooooooooooring"!!!
MinnesotaSiouxFan Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 It needs to be the North Dakota North Stars...........why are we even debating this right now? Come on........
TBR Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I think the fans would go ape over that Sasquatch name
UND99 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Thunderbirds. Maintains the American Indian legacy, but it is not specific to any one tribe.
The Sicatoka Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I feel like I'm repeating myself: North Stars? You mean the state motto of ... Minnesota? Southern Utah is the Thunderbirds. And then say Thunderbirds and then that "thundering herd" thing. Too close; too confusing.

The Sicatoka Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 These ideas all need vetting. I just wish folks wouldn't rehash the ones that have been vetted already.
The Sicatoka Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Southern Utah's nickname is irrelevant. As is the Ag School's nickname's nickname. Marketing folks would probably agree with your first statement; however, given the geographic proximity and name similarity of the schools (both contain "North Dakota") the marketing folks would more that likely disagree with your second statement.
82SiouxGuy Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Southern Utah's nickname is irrelevant. As is the Ag School's nickname's nickname. Considering Southern Utah is in the same conference, it isn't irrelevant. Why would UND copy a conference opponent?
MinnesotaSiouxFan Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 North Stars does not roll off the tongue the same as "star of the north", plus it would drive the MN contingency nuts. Need to move on from Sasquach ...........sounds a lot like "laughing stock".
darell1976 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Considering Southern Utah is in the same conference, it isn't irrelevant. Why would UND copy a conference opponent? How many Huskies and Mavericks did we have in the NCC/WCHA? Mankato St/Omaha, Michigan Tech/St. Cloud State
darell1976 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I don't see anything wrong with lady squatches...sure better than lady beavers! I have no problem with lady beavers
UNDBIZ Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 How many Huskies and Mavericks did we have in the NCC/WCHA? Mankato St/Omaha, Michigan Tech/St. Cloud State Too many. Let's not follow by their example..... 1
darell1976 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I think the front runner of the name has to be Rough Riders. It has so much history with this state and I know its that other schools nickname but why can't UND play off of it. Red River spells it Roughriders....UND could spell it Rough Riders. Also have a different logo than RRHS. We know the colors will be different, we could have a cavalry guy on a horse or not with the UND flag lead the team on the field and he can be our mascot. We could have a woman dressed in a cavalry outfit to keep it equal too.
Siouxperfan7 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I have always wondered if there was a way to come up with a new name and logo, but keep it similar to the Fighting Sioux logo. What about choosing the name "Roughriders" and having a Bennet Brien type logo of Teddy Roosevelt facing to the left using the same type of color scheme and look to it. Heck, maybe Brien can even design it. That way the logo would be different but have the same type of look to it. Would maybe be easier for people to adjust and accept it. Just a thought. 1

If he designed the new UND logo it would be the second best ever (behind his Sioux logo). 1
Fetch Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Not ok to steal Thunder but it is ok to steal Red River HS name - unbelievably wrong
darell1976 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Not ok to steal Thunder but it is ok to steal Red River HS name - unbelievably wrong Change Red River to the River Rats(as us Central alumns called them) and there will be no problems.
