Blackheart Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Regardless of the agreement, UND needs a new name for MARKETING. Those North Dakota Proud items do NOT sell and they do not incite young people's interest in UND. The old folks aren't the target market, it's the high school and college students. As anyone here can attest, a school logo/nickname can create quite the connection with fans and alumni. "North Dakota" isn't going to get it done. Why would anyone buy North Dakota or new nickname gear when you can still find Sioux gear? There will always be a market for Sioux gear I believe, so somehow, somewhere, there will be a supply. Quote

ericpnelson Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I'm going to write a book here. I've been thinking, the new name HAS to be wolves. What's the reason behind needing a new name? Branding. Merchandise. Selling stuff. Nothing brands better than wolves. It sets the right mentality for sports too. Aggressive, Cunning, Working Together. Kills our rivals. - Join the Pack. Get your season ticket package now. - Let me you howl - The Hunt is on. - Pack Mentality No one is just Wolves. There is timberwolves, seawolves, wolfpack. Just Wolves. Think of the cool logo. The silhouette of this guys face with green eyes. Best traveling fanbase in hockey? The pack is on the move. It's pretty safe for controversy sake, but it the ways that it is controversial plays in our favor. Who hates wolves? People from our conference states, people from Wisconsin and Minnesota. All in on wolves. #Howl #JoinThePack Quote

ericpnelson Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD is the Wolves. And a few DII teams are the Wolves but there are NO DI teams nicknamed Wolves. I was only concerned about D1/Professional teams. The Wolf doesn't concern itself with the thoughts of sheep. 2 Quote

I like the name and with NO DI team with it I say it's a good name choice. Lots of marketability with it including a mascot. 1 Quote

ibleedgreen Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Can Wolves be added to this pol now? I think we already made our decision....Wolves it is! Quote
IrishSiouxFan Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 There are currently 8 teams in college athletics associated with that name. I think we should pick a name that no one else is using. That was one of the greatest things about being the Sioux, we were the only ones. Quote
