Blackheart Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I kind of like "Wildcatters" more than "Oilers"....Look at the Texas Wildcatters logo. http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/gf81mp9ppo8kxpf374bt/Texas_Wildcatters/2004/Primary_Logo Not bad...reminds me a little too much of the Grand Valley State logo, though...

MafiaMan Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 How about the Houston Oilers logo in UND colors. Love ya blue! Rest in peace, Bum Phillips. Houston Texans...not the same. 1 Quote
GreenWing Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Green Wings... as in the Green-winged teal. Might as well borrow another original six logo too Quote
westsidesioux Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Channel Cats Don't mind it...sounds too much like a minor league baseball nickname though Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Don't mind it...sounds too much like a minor league baseball nickname though That was my first thought too. Quote
siouxjoy Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Don't mind it...sounds too much like a minor league baseball nickname though Is that due to there being a Grand Forks Channel Cats baseball team in the late 90s? 1 Quote
GreenWing Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Well if we're going that route then I vote Varmints Quote
zonadub Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Is this all going on behind closed doors? The legislature's moratorium expires next year and there does not appear to be much going on in the news about the new name. In light of Kelly's reaction to the Gamma Phi sign, should we expect a lame weather related soccer-style name like Northern Lights? Quote

There is a team in Montana called Northern Lights, MSU-Northern I believe. Quote
zonadub Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 There is a team in Montana called Northern Lights, MSU-Northern I believe. So you're sayin' that Northern Lights is too good a name for Kelly & co to come up with. So maybe he will want it to be the UND Kelly Green. Quote
siouxfantastic Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 A few of my favorites. Wildcats, Green Blaze, Flash, Wrecking Crew and Stingers. Quote
Shawn-O Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 The Water Bears. They thrive in conditions that would be considered detrimental to most life on earth. Quote
molden Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Stanford used to be the Indians. They changed it to Cardinal, as in the color, not the bird. They're the Stanford Cardinal. Thusly, the University of North Dakota Emerald. That is the shade of green used, right? Could also implement the image of an emerald somehow. Before you jump all over me, I've been supportive of keeping the Fighting Sioux for years. Have been very supportive of the fight. I understand the emotions behind all of this. That's my penny's worth. I cheered for UND in the Frozen Four, and even had a small party with family to watch it. The cheer would be "let's go Emerald," not the plural. I'm already ducking. Quote
Fetch Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Trouble with that is our green is Kelly green & he deserves no such honor Quote
charliefunny Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Keep it as it is now. Very Unique: no nickname and North Dakota as the logo. If the NCAA thinks North Dakota means allies or friends is offensive then ask Congress to change the state name. The fans can still yell LET'S GO SIOUX! 2 Quote
siouxstudent Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Is Dakota offensive to someone? What about Pontiac? Can we have anything? Change the state, change everything! 2 Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Is Dakota offensive to someone? What about Pontiac? Can we have anything? Change the state, change everything! President Kelley is holding on line one for you... Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Is Dakota offensive to someone? What about Pontiac? Can we have anything? Change the state, change everything! Pontiac was an Indian chief. Good luck.... Then again he was Canadian I believe so you can bet your house the people of el forko grande would embrace it. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Pontiac was an Indian chief. Good luck.... Then again he was Canadian I believe so you can bet your house the people of el forko grande would embrace it. Real classy troll, real classy. And people wonder why Fargo is resented by people in other parts of the state. 2 Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Pontiac was an Indian chief. Good luck.... Then again he was Canadian I believe so you can bet your house the people of el forko grande would embrace it. Where is el forko grande? And why would a spanish/mexican/hispanic sounding town embrace Canadians so much? Quote
CMSioux Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Wow - really Pontiac was an indian chief - who knew - (except just about everyone) Guess that FU education is really coming in handy as a professional website troller. Can you check and see if there are any other car models named after native americans and report back - I'll give you head start - start with Jeep. Quote
