The seal, which is at the center of the state flag, shows a white settler plowing a field in the foreground while a Native American man rides on horseback into the sunset. Others have criticized the flag as poorly designed and too similar to other state flags. Did they hire the same design firm that did UND's Hawk logo? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Illinois tries to move on from Chief Illiniwek, the belted kingfisher is gaining highly visible support as potential mascot for university I'd take any name that is unique to UND over a generic hawk.

CMSioux Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 14 hours ago, petey23 said: Somaliasota it is! Your comment says more about you than you think. The selected design, conceived by Andrew Prekker of Luverne, Minnesota, consists of a dark blue silhouette accented by a white eight-point North Star. Prekker’s inspiration came from other state flags recognized for their simplicity and memorability, such as Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. However, his primary inspiration came from Minnesota itself, its motto “L’etoile Du Nord,” meaning “star of the north,” and its rich history. Prekker explains that each color represents a different facet of Minnesota’s identity. The white stripe symbolizes snow and winter, the green stripe signifies the state’s natural beauty and the importance of agriculture, and the light blue stripe acknowledges Minnesota’s numerous lakes, the birthplace of the Mississippi River, and its name derived from the Dakota language, describing “a place of sky-tinted water.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
