tnt Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I googled hawk logo images and out of a ton of them couldn't find any that seemed cool or worthy of UND. Hope they can use a swooping bird to fill in the "N" of ND, and make it a relevant logo. Just don't know if the consultants would take the time to differentiate it enough from the hundreds of stale images. Bennett Brien would at least care what he puts out for consumption.

MafiaMan Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Ralph Engelstad was a great guy to UND. Did a lot for the school and athletics. Like him I'm a huge Sioux supporter. Will be voting Roughriders again, Hawks is the worst name ever (I highly suspect that "Fighting" will be dropped from the official name.) However, maybe Ralph wouldn't have much of a problem with Hawks since it means we could transition to something this. The soldiers that wore it were pretty into fighting if I recall and a lot of North Dakotans have German background. Win-win, right?If you're a UND fan, I'm Winston Churchill's great grandson. Gopher or Bison troll, more likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericpnelson Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I have it on good authority that Mussman will come back to replace Bubba as the head football coach if Fighting Hawks wins #factsonly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 That is an awesome advertisement for Roughriders! Get this on Facebook and ask if we should be hawks.Apparently a Roughrider supporter believes the end justifies the means by posting this type of stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post snova4 Posted November 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2015 With the Hawks logo that was circulating, I can say this, my wife is a multiple time graduate of UND, born and raised in Grand Forks, and it took me until this final vote to convince her that the Blackhawks logo that was circulating had less than a snowball's chance in **** of ever being the logo. Now, someone that knows Kelley as well as her, and understands this process took that long to convince that logo wouldn't happen, how many others do you think are voting based on that logo? I'd say at a minimum, a solid 50% of the Fighting Hawk vote. That's what saddens me, because you think their are people mad about this process now, just wait until they finally realize that the logo they thought was attached to that nickname is not being used. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of us are not happy. But Ralph would never do anything to do harm to the University of North Dakota.” However, Ralph Engelstad was apparently aware the winds of political correctness were already changing. Strinden revealed today that during a meeting in the late 1990’s with then President Kupchella and Engelstad in Las Vegas, that Engelstad suggested the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo be kept for 5 years and then changed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
