SOL Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Did the team travel with a "new" jersey for this weekend? Or will "The University of North Dakota" hockey team unveil something new next weekend at home? Or will it be in January? Thoughts? And, what will the new saying be when the boys run out onto the ice for pre game..."Here come your University of North Dakota"...it just rolls off the tongue doesn't it... Quote
GeauxSioux Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 I have read that the new jerseys won't arrive until February. Quote
ringneck28 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 So how many times will the PA announcer accidentally say SIOUX. Do we have an over under? I say 3 Quote
GoalieMask Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 We have heard new jerseys won't arrive by mid February and then yesterday I read they would use existing jerseys through the regular season. So the Michigan Tech and Minnesota State series could feature the new jerseys or the last games with Sioux across their chests. A communication with concrete timelines is apparently in the works. Quote
BigGreyAnt41 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Remember, there is only one week of regular season games in March. So mid-February is "near" the end of the regular season, which is what I read yesterday about when the new jerseys would arrive. Quote
Big A HG Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 On a side note, the women's white jerseys were completed by Gemini already. They will continue with their "North Dakota" green jersey and likely just drop the black for the remainder of the season. I'm not sure when the women will implement the new whites, but I've been told by a very good source that they have some sort of "circle ND" logo on it. It's not what I would have guessed, but it makes me wonder if the men's team will have gone a similar route. Only time will tell. Quote

They have the Jet inside a circle, this one could have the circle on the front of the jersey and just have the ND in it. Quote
bcblues Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Sigh..... I understand both sides of this debacle, but it still makes me sad. I think we should be "The Nameless" Quote
jodcon Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 I think we should be "The Nameless" "Those Who Are Not Spoken Of" Quote

They have the Jet inside a circle, this one could have the circle on the front of the jersey and just have the ND in it. Could be, I don't know any other details. When I heard it, I was a bit surprised considering UND doesn't currently use a logo like was mentioned, and hasn't since the mid-70s. Quote
bcblues Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 UND, and the entire state of North Dakota, could make a real statement by adopting a name like: "The Nameless", Those Not Spoken Of", or something similar. Being a realist, and understanding that the NCAA is unlikely to cave any time soon, something simple like "Nameless" could be a rallying cry in the stadiums. Of course, Those Who DO Know will still use Sioux, but we have to look ahead to future generations of fans, including those not able to recall the infamous Fighting Sioux moniker. Quote
TNF Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 I personally believe the new logo should be a blurred out version of the current logo. You know, like you see on Dateline when someone's identity needs to be concealed due to safety reasons. It would never fly but it sure would make the NC$$ upset. 1 Quote

Maybe the front of the jersey could have this on the front: SIO-X Probably not. Quote
mikejm Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Maybe the front of the jersey could have this on the front: SUE us Probably not. I was thinking you were going to go in this direction. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Just put "YHWH" on the front of the jerseys. (We'll see who figures out the what and why for that. ) Quote
Fighting SIOUX Forever Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I think they could run with the idea started by the Purple One: "The team formerly known as the Fighting Sioux" with some elaborate symbol version of the current logo! Quote
ScottM Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Just put "YHWH" on the front of the jerseys. (We'll see who figures out the what and why for that. ) We don't need the ACLU in this mess too. At least on the wrong side ... Quote
BigGreyAnt41 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I think they could run with the idea started by the Purple One: "The team formerly known as the Fighting Sioux" with some elaborate symbol version of the current logo! I was going to post the exact same thing! Quote
The Sicatoka Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 We don't need the ACLU in this mess too. At least on the wrong side ... But that would be the ultimate "Unspeakable Name". I'd claim He has a good lawyer to take on the ACLU, but we all know there aren't any lawyers where He lives. 1 Quote
siouxczech29 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 I like the idea of implementing a native word as our new nickname. For example, the Lakota word for 'Proud' is ITAN (ee-dahn) and the Lakota word for 'Glory' is WOWITA (woh - wee - dahn). Or, consult some of the Spirit Lake tribal leaders for some ideas. Just a thought. Quote

JESUS,family,rutgers Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Sicatoka, Yahweh,Yeshua, or Jesus can not be used. Marx,Lenin,Stalin,or Mao are perfectly acceptable. Quote
