Popular Post dden3 Posted November 18, 2015 Popular Post Posted November 18, 2015 How embarrassing for the people on the Committee and all of the UND community to have such an ordinary and uninspiring choice duplicative of so many other schools. 19 2 Quote

Popular Post geaux_sioux Posted November 18, 2015 Author Popular Post Posted November 18, 2015 We can complain about it or we can be proactive in making our hawk nickname and logo the best of the 30 or so others just as our Indian logo and nickname was the best. 5 Quote
darell1976 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Instead of giving some national firm 100k let's give Bennett brien 100k and design itI bet he could do a better job of a logo design than any national firm could come up with. Quote

yzerman19 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 As someone who grew up in GF, loved the Sioux, watches 90% of hockey games, has traveled to see them many times, was a staple at the FInal Five, but otherwise has no affiliation to UND, having attended Minnesota for undergrad and business school, and not having lived a full year in GF since 1993...well, its really a lame, generic nickname.You can argue that it keeps the tradition of "FIghting" and that there will be no controversy whatsoever, so it is expediant and safe, but in the end, it is completely undifferentiated.I'm surprised I care this much this morning, but whatever.Going forward, I hope they do as much as possible to incorporate the four feathers from the old logo into the new one. 2 Quote
bigskyvikes Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Funny observation, the people with a large amount of posts are ready to move on and support, not saying they're happy, but moving on.The posters with a very low number still are bitter and posting anger...Just my observation... 1 Quote
Popular Post Dave Berger Posted November 18, 2015 Popular Post Posted November 18, 2015 I will get on board. I will not allow this decision or the process to negatively impact my giving or my support for UND's athletes and programs. I urge others to do the same. Our teams deserve it.Dave Berger 7 1 Quote

tnt Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 It is what is it. At some point we will all be defending it, especially to those varmint lovers to the south. It still makes me laugh that they can make fun of any nickname when they are a rodent a level below the gerbil, and one that is meant to be exterminated. Quote

scpa0305 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Wow what a terrible choice. Sad day. How did such a bland name make it this far? I would have been somewhat disappointed with RR but it could have lived with it. Several months ago I never saw this one materializing. Edited November 18, 2015 by scpa0305 4 Quote
UNDfan2013 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Sure not terribly original but it was time to select one and move on. I personally feel like there could be some really cool logo and chant options for the Fighting Hawks. 1 1 Quote

BigGreyAnt41 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 At least it's not a rodent.Exactly! Hawks actually hunt gophers, so there is that. 3 Quote
