108498 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 DU has been working to get a new face and recently came up with its three finalists. Do you think the events will push UND to make a better choice or at least give fans a better voice. http://ndgoon.blogspot.com/2013/07/du-logo-possibilities-just-say-no.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FZTZqA+%28Goon%27s+World%29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishSiouxFan Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 The rock climber with the dog looks like something out of Disney cartoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 The climber is a Caucasian male: instant no-go per the PC standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

108498 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Why don't we get a name dealing with aviation. It is a major piece of the University and base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 PC standard? In the world of PC white males (unless they are gay) are not diverse and demand for diversity trumps all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feff Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 The climber is actually a gay cannibal (Donner, party of 50), so he works for all the PC crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGSIOUX Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 As you all know, There is a difference between a Mascot as above and a logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotadan Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 DU Pioneers mascot committee recommends against adopting a new mascot More than 8,000 community members participated in the survey, more than three times the expected response. The release by the committee said that nearly 70 percent of respondents were either receptive or neutral to moving forward with a new mascot, but were not aligned on what that mascot should be. No $h!t. You aren't going to take 8,000 people and get them all to agree on the exact same thing. So instead they just aren't going to do anything. The concepts were created after the committee conducted over 45 focus groups, 15 open forums and a number of one-on-one interviews with alumni, students and faculty. The mascot committee had 76 members — more than the Colorado state Senate, state House or the final Broncos roster. They were about as effective and efficient as the government.

Hayduke Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Very interestersting. Appropriate IMHO. God, those were ugly,silly and stupid. Embarrassing for DU to use any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I'd say no move was the right move. All three designs were straight-up Disney material. No. Wait. DU's last mascot was that too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver_Boone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82SiouxGuy Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I'd say no move was the right move. All three designs were straight-up Disney material. No. Wait. DU's last mascot was that too. http://en.wikipedia....ki/Denver_Boone The consulting firm(s) that designed those logos failed miserably. The mountaineer idea had some promise, but the fringe on the jacket alone makes it look ridiculous. The other 2 are way too cartoonish, even too campy for Disney. 70% of the people that voted were willing to get a new mascot, they just didn't have any choices worthy of a college athletic program.

BobIwabuchiFan Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm in favor of just letting no name exist other than University of North Dakota...if we have to put up with !@#$ like the logos I have seen for DU, then its going to be a rough process to make people eat this crap for their team! I remember the stupid bleacher creacher that would show up at football games...totally stupid.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
