They didnt go through this nightmare just to go back through it because the design features what could be construed as native american imagery. If we do indeed go with the Fighting Hawks name (and it's looking that way) we will have a crappy hawk logo like Miami and not the cool one everyone is drooling over from the Black Hawk concept logo. It will never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fight on sioux Posted November 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2015 I have seriously not met one person who is a Fighting Hawks supporter... I see there are a couple of them on here but I have yet to actually meet one in person. I don't understand where all these votes are coming from? I have talked with a lot of students on campus as well. The funny thing is that the requirements for a name to make the final vote are nowhere to be found in the name "Fighting Hawks." Here is the list of nickname trait requirements:Representative of state/region (Ok, our state has Hawks, so does every other state)Honor past/look to future (Just because it has "Fighting" in it doesn't mean it honors our past. You can add "Fighting" to anything.)Promote pride, strength, fierceness, passion (this is a personal opinion)Sense of community/connectedness (Definitely isn't going to bring us all together)Intimidation to competitors (Well then we should be intimidated by many teams given the popular use of any Hawk name)Unique, recognizable, distinctly UND (Not even close)Formidable/fierce (once again, personal opinion)Inspiring, unforgettable (Not even close)Beautiful/classy (Hawks are beautiful animals, I will agree with that)If you can make the case that Fighting Hawks represents these traits with GOOD reasoning then I'm all ears... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, a lot of those points the committee came up with are purely opinions or silly. That's why I voted Nodaks in the hopes something representative of UND and ND could've evolved. Let's try the same exercise for Roughriders:Representative of state/region (Nope, Roughriders are either horseback riders from anywhere on earth, or else Teddy's southwestern US cavalry)Honor past/look to future (Nope, Roughriders were not from here. Unless we want to honor an award started in the 1960s. But why would we honor an honor? makes no sense)Promote pride, strength, fierceness, passion (agreed, this is a personal opinion)Sense of community/connectedness (agreed, Definitely isn't going to bring us all together)Intimidation to competitors (this point is just silly. no college athlete has ever been intimidated by a logo or name)Unique, recognizable, distinctly UND (There's some nice RR merchandise on sale at Red River High School. and plenty of cowboys on horseback in the ncaa)Formidable/fierce (agreed, once again, personal opinion)Inspiring, unforgettable (personal opinion, and another silly criteria)Beautiful/classy (Old guys on ponies are not beautiful, but could possibly be classy?) 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had they actually followed their own criteria, the names that were eventually narrowed down to vote on would be most likely met with more of a positive response. The committee actually did this with a -1, 0, +1 ranking system taking each quality/characteristic into consideration for each of the final 7 names individually. There even had a fancy score sheet that laid everything out! Roughriders came in 1st. Fighting Hawks came in 5th (one point behind Nodaks). "No nickname" came in dead last by a very large margin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even take it a step further and from the very get go eliminate names that didn't meet criteria and talk about why some names do meet the criteria so all would understand. You know, actually have a discussion rather than raising their hand every once in awhile for a name they personally liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You a a room full of people that voted names up or down based on personal preference rather than actual laid out criteria. This is where the process failed. And failed miserably!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
