There was a Sioux jersey photo bomb! OUTSTANDING! Go Wild! Because the Stars own the rights and the logo to the North Stars. Quote

Kind of like the Sioux name, UND keeps using it so others can't. Have you ever seen Dallas use or sell North Star stuff? I haven't. I guess my point is the heads of the Wild probably know more about right and wrong uses of things by their Pro hockey team then the fans do. No offense... Quote

This was brought up when the Wild wanted to wear the North Stars jerseys for the outdoor game in Minneapolis against the Blackhawks and Dallas told them no. The Wild celebrating 50 years of hockey in Minnesota, minus the 7 years when there was no pro team in Minnesota. Quote
sioux rube Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 And the Wild clinch 2nd in the Central. Coming into this season I would have never of guessed that. Still don't know if it will be the Blues or Preds yet in the first round. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 I want to say I'm surprised by last night's game but................ #hotgoalie #samemild Quote
Blackheart Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Parise with the save of the game, on his own teammate's shot in the third. Ouch! Glad that he was the one to send the game into OT later in the period. Quote

farce poobah Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 The Wild have a much better chance of winning game 2. That's because most of St Louis' roster is in jail for stealing game 1. 2 Quote

When they get fined from a Dallas attorney or even warned from Dallas let me know. Again, the pro teams know more about name violations then any fan on a website, I WOULD HOPE!

The NHL granted the Wild permission to wear the jersey in pre-game warm-ups. Had Minnesota busted those out in the actual game, you're damn right a slew of NHL and Stars attorneys would have had their bat-phones light up. Quote
ringneck28 Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 According to Russo, the NHL owns the North Stars Logo. This was tweeted the night the Wild wore the warm ups. Quote

Do you think the Wild may have checked/asked for this approval to cross their t's and dot their i's before honoring this old name? Or do you also believe that the Wild could have learned what/who they violated if they would have just read ss.com first? Quote

I'm in the minority of fans who wishes the Wild would re-brand as the North Stars 2.0 though. And, yes, Check Fletcher reads the board daily and sent The Sicatoka a text asking for his thoughts on the matter. 1 Quote
