MafiaMan Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Cam Neely and the Boston Bruins have raised new era-specific banners in the Garden...it has always bothered me that UND championship teams of past eras have banners in REA which use a logo that came decades AFTER their achievements. If the Sioux nickname does indeed go by the wayside but items of "historical value" are allowed to be retained, why wouldn't REA showcase pretty much the entire logo history of Sioux championships on the national title banners? I think this would be a perfect way to cherish the memory of the Fighting Sioux...and at least be historically accurate. Boston Bruins Banner-Raising Quote
BigGreyAnt41 Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Honestly, I've always been a bit curious about this. The banner that's hanging should be the one that was originally hoisted in the year it was won. That would mean it would have the logo from that time period on it. Quote
IrishSiouxFan Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Are they on display anywhere in the REA? Quote
Cratter Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Makes you wonder who has all those old banners in their basements. Quote
Blackheart Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Yeah, I always found it strange that the championship banners from the 80's in the Old Ralph used the geometric logo even though the teams exclusively (correct me if i am wrong) wore the Blackhawk logo. But so what; we were still the Sioux... Quote
GoalieMask Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Hmmmm....makes me think that someone from the SS.com "art department" might be all over this. I bet it's a matter of time before we see some renditions of what the banners will look like. 1959 Sammy the Sioux would look pretty sweet, IMO. Quote
