Csonked Out Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I have grown quite fond of the Norse or the roughriders. I just hate the idea of no nickname, it is important from a marketing perspective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually glad they added the description option where you can tell them why you choose the nickname, like for me I put since there is no DI team with the name, plus with the GFAFB, and UND's aviation program Jets could be a good name.

I do like the Jets actually. Was a huge Winnipeg jets fan before they left and it could be a pretty sweet logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a huge Winnipeg jets fan before they left and it could be a pretty sweet logo I was a Jets fan before the move to Phoenix and I am still a fan today of the "new" Jets. If they went with Jets I hope they don't copy Winnipeg or New York and try for something original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like an ex girlfriend coming back into your life 10 years later. Still a Devils fan now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub27 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Let the dumpster fire commence. They are actually behind if they are just getting to it this afternoon. I've gotten texts from FU grads about it and it made Fark plus a few other sites. The colossal amount of idiotic and offensive stuff they are going to have to sort through is going to be mind blowing. Not too mention the FU mensa club has already posted some of their best ideas. The anonymous thing was not the way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoiseInsideMyHead Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The anonymous thing was not the way to go. You mean, as opposed to a fill-in-the-blank online form where anyone could pretend to be anyone? Or were you thinking that individual submissions could be tied to a completely unreliable e-mail verification? Or perhaps requiring people to submit SSNs, credit card numbers, or DNA?

UNDBIZ Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 So if I've been following the process properly, they're saying the committee will choose 3 from the names submitted and then there will be a public vote to decide which of those 3 is the name? If so, the public vote could/likely will be a complete mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDBIZ Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I was weak and decided to submit names I felt the committee (Kelley) was more likely to accept. Flames (UND logo and eternal flame on campus) and Nodaks (just keep the interlocking ND logo, most palatable to those still in denial on the name transition). They will inevitably be turned to Flamers and NoD*cks by our rivals, but any name can and will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
