Hansel Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I seriously doubt this administration is going to pick an nationality/ethnicity as a logo and nickname. Plus, for those of us who are not of nordic decent will not cling to it. More than likely they pick a lame animal that a bunch of other institutions use and everybody hates it. Just like the non-natives did not cling to the Sioux nickname? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackburn87 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The "Norse Force"?" Maybe... Oh well... any other word on whether the Spirit Lake tribe is pursuing any other legal avenues. (It may be too late, but I'm just curious...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It may be too late, but I'm just curious...) I looked at the Northern Kentucky website. They use that moniker, "Norse Force". It seems okay to me.

The Sicatoka Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I'm expecting the final moniker choices will come down to: - moniker based on existing state nickname (however, not "The Sioux State" nickname) - apex preditor living in state (no, no horses or fish) - regional weather phenomina - vague, undefined term So, I'd expect a final list looking like: - Rough Riders - Cougars or Great Horned Owls - Blizzard or HailStorm* - something crappy and vague like (Wild, Magic, Shock,) ... Spirit I still like "Reaper" or "Green Reaper" but I'm sure that's too scary for the academic (bed-wetting) crowd. * the sky does get a greenish tint before a hail storm.

luapsided Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 if we become and sort of animal bird rodent, I'll hang myself. Rough riders are the only one that could ever be accepted, but as mentioned 1 million times, its our highschool ( a rival highschool at that).

GeauxSioux Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 NorthDakota Until the new nickname is rolled out in a year or two.... NORTH DAKOTA. I have posted before that I would like the jersies to say "DAKOTA" on the front until the time that a new nickname is chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 If it stays "North Dakota" for some time, the marketing folks can borrow a line from North Korea and use "North Dakota is the best Dakota". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakota fairways Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 There are only a half a dozen schools on the east coast that use the name Pride. No schools west of the Appalachians or larger than Hoefstra University. Pride could have several meanings and a lion logo. I can hear echos of cheers of "Sioux Pride" or "Dakota Pride". Uniforms could have only the name "Dakota" on them... Reactions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_are_the_Pride NDSU's marching band is the Gold Star Band but in the past was sometimes called the Pride of North Dakota.

Doms for short. UND taking back control of the name and control of the university. The dominant university of the Dakotas. Of course a certain crowd will turn it into Dominos and pizza delivery or pizza boys, but then again, they will do that regardless of the name.

Because of a few proverbial cracks and crannies in the intellectual property laws, both schools rightly claim, and own, property rights in their interlocking ND logos. Why North Dakota "modernized" its logo recently I do not know. The traditional one was serving just fine from where I sit. Merchandising and branding decisions I suspect.

Additionally, note the top line of this PDF from fightingsioux.com: http://www.fightingsioux.com/downloads1/340779.pdf "The Interlocking ND mark must always be used in conjunction with another University of North Dakota trademark as illustrated with these examples."
