Fetch Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I could live with that maybe get the State Board to ask them or get a referal petition but don't hire the Hockey Team to get signatures Quote
TBR Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 We should be the "replacements" in recognition of the NFL replacement refs. Our mascot will be a uniformed referee walking around with a white cane as the blind use wearing a pair of shades....... Quote
The Sicatoka Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I thought about "Posse" but then I realized what opponents would say ... Quote
IrishSiouxFan Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Maybe we should be the UND "Alerus", that way those two gi-normous "Alerus Center" logos could serve as our school's mid-field logo. Seriously though, those two logos should have been scaled down considerably, and at least an interlocking ND should be at midfield. That would go a long way in making the Alerus feel more like home.

SIOUXFAN97 Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 plus with the Fighting Norse nickname these guys/gals could lead the fb team onto the field....or they could be halftime entertainment....or be the people that pull the field goal nets??? the use for these people would be endless http://www.bakkentoday.com/event/article/id/239441/publisher_ID/40/ Quote
Big A HG Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Here's an interesting YouTube vid that Bradley (formerly the Braves) put together in their quest to remedy their nickname problem. They are essentially in the same spot UND is in terms of a nickname. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0NgcGetxwc&feature=youtu.be Quote
BobIwabuchiFan Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Change Red River to the River Rats(as us Central alumns called them) and there will be no problems. I'm sure Red River could accept the Rats as long as you Central guys go back to the Foreskins....It must hurt to lose two really cool team nicknames in a lifetime... Bob Quote

Bob 3 actually. I lost my elementary and jr. high nicknames (Warriors), Central Redskins, and North Dakota Fighting Sioux. I still have the Cleveland Indians holding on. Quote
ericpnelson Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Dont' know how many of you read the onion news, but I found this humorous and topical to us 1 Quote
Big A HG Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Let's go North Dakota Redskins! It even fits with the potato culture of Grand Forks...Potato Bowl, etc. 3 Quote
bypolairxam Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 How about the North Dakota... Biting Mosquitos??... or North Dakota.... Channel Cats??.....someone could come up with some real creative artwork for those two.... Quote
KoolGuy2K Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Don't know if anyone has said Fighters yet. Quote
GeauxSioux Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 UND is a space grant university. A couple of days ago Russia was hit by a meteor, which was very powerful. UND Meteors. Quote
ZapPoke Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 A lot of good stuff on here. Too bad it has fizzled out in the last month. I still like just having DAKOTA on the uniforms, but as many have said, the NCfuqnAA will never let that be it. Quote
GreenWing Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 University of North Dakota Nokota is a little bit too much of a mouth full but I love the idea. What about the North Dakota Nokes? I love the idea of Ben Brien designing a horse logo with a similar style to the Sioux logo. I was at an art show and saw a buffalo he did in that style and it was really cool. My top pick for a nickname (which inspired my username) is the North Dakota Green Wings. A green-winged teal is a duck but it could also be used with an aviation connotation. I think it be great if the hockey team used a modified version of the Red Wings logo! Another duck nickname would be the "Drakes". A drake is a male duck. While it's not exactly a fierce animal, I think it is a fierce name. My last suggestion that I haven't seen on here is the "Fighting Toms". A Tom is a male turkey and I think it would be unique and tie in to ND well. I swear I'm not a sexist, bird-lover. Here's a link to a green Red Wings jersey that could get your imaginations going: http://www.paylessauthenticjerseywholesale.com/pic/Detroit-Red-Wings--235-Nicklas-Lidstrom-Green-St-Patty-27s-Day-Embroidered-nhl-Hockey-jerseys-1874-92561.jpg Quote

GreenWing Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Haha that's great. Draquettes for the women's teams is just perfect. Love the Drake Quote
