The Sicatoka Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 The logo is just a Native American related as the moniker was. The logo went in the settlement too. People, it's gone. Mr. Gentry and Mr. Montgomery can explain: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t4S7jafRlJ0 It's time to saddle up and Ride on. (And I think I just gave away my vote.)

Chewey Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I, like was said by many before, prefer the "Cavalry". Not disparaging anyone with it. Can't say anyone is using native American imagery in a negative way. I don't know anyone with that nickname, other than the Cleveland Cavaliers. A Cavalier is really more of a swordsman who does not ride a horse, if I have it correctly. But, as Astro would say, "rots of ruck" with the politically correct radicals. The solution to the PC thought police: People with back bone to tell them to STFU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxphan27 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Whatever the new nickname is, it will suck compared to Sioux. So if we absolutely have to even have a nickname, lets go with: Here comes your University of North Dakota New Nickname Sucks! It would at least reflect the majority's feelings. I could see myself purchasing a sweatshirt saying UND New Nickname Sucks, long before I'd buy a rough rider sweatshirt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetch Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 The we got spirit was just an example of maybe one of the oldest cheers there has ever been - but without the logo I dont want it But if there was the slightest chance it could save the logo I'd love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see myself purchasing a sweatshirt saying UND New Nickname Sucks, long before I'd buy a rough rider sweatshirt. Of course the new name will suck compared to Sioux, just like Royals (Valley Jr. High) sucks compared to Warriors, and Redskins (GFC) compared to Knights. But now those nicknames are 20 years old and it has grown on people, just like the new name will grow on people in time. 5 years, nope, 10 years, maybe, 20 years much more likely. Not having a nickname is not going to be an option and neither is having Sioux or any Indian name AND logo. We have to accept it and move on. It sucks not being the Sioux but I still wear my Sioux gear, but when a new name is chosen I will purchase that named gear and why? Because I am a fan of the University of North Dakota. That name....COMES FIRST!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackheart Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I, too, have visions of a Screaming Weasel riding into the stadium on a horse. They could use images from some past and present administrators to get that logo just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Rough Riders has nothing to do with ND The leader of the 1st US Volunteer Cavalry, the "Rough Riders", ranched in western North Dakota. The last living member of Roosevelt's "Rough Riders" was a man born in North Dakota named Jesse Langdon. Jesse's father was a veterinarian and treated Roosevelt's cattle on the ranch. So the first and the last Rough Riders were North Dakotans. Tell me again about "nothing". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 "Nothing" is what UND has for a moniker right now, and the only logo we have is easily mistaken for that of "Our Lady of South Bend". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
