Hayduke Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I know this will surprise a lot of people here, but i'm just glad we're not the Roughriders! Whew! Now that 98.6% of us have seen our preferred choice(s) lose, I hope everyone can get past their original preferences, and get behind the Fighting Hawks. It will be up to the fans to own this nickname and make it successful. Let's Go UND Fighting Hawks!100% agree! Quote
zonadub Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Well, at least it's not Banana Slugs, Sundogs or Nodaks. Quote
Cratter Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Well at least we have come to expect the new Fighting Hawks logo to look more like this:Instead of this:But I also expect UND to screw that up too. Quote

WiSioux Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I will start the campaign for this to morph Artic Raptors over the years... That is a lot more intimidating and unique Quote

Godsmack Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Great-my Gopher friends are already emailing me what they'll be calling us-the Fawkers! Quote
jimdahl Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 FightingHawkSports.com? HawkSports.com? FightingHawkSportsProudlyPresentedbyJimDahl.com? Yeah, I'll have to get to work on that. All the particularly obvious domain names were taken by UND and speculators long ago, but there are lots of possibilities.Even if we don't switch for a while, we should collect some ideas now so we can actually reserve the names. See my new name for this site thread. Quote

Shawn-O Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) I think we just have to replace "Let's Go Sioux!" with "Let's Go F'hawks!". And then if we really get lazy with it, the administration might decide it's not such a good nickname after all.Oh, and for the Harry Potter fans out there, maybe our logo should be a phoenix? Student section: The F'Hawk-ers. Let's get F'Hawking loud! F'Hawk the Bison! Don't F'Hawk with us. I'm warming to this. 96.1 the F'Hawks. Your home of UND Hockey.

Shawn-O Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Let's go down to the ice with our P.A announcer <insert name here> for tonight's starting lineup. to meet the F'Hawkers! Quote
Godsmack Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Ausmus didn't exactly give a ringing endorsement of the new name in the press interview this morning (posted on the GF Herald). Quote
keikla Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 If the students get to vote on it I'm sure this will be the outcome of the new logo....A few opponents' fans have actually said on twitter that they'll now call us 'the angry birds', so that logo is fitting. Quote
UND1981 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Ausmus didn't exactly give a ringing endorsement of the new name in the press interview this morning (posted on the GF Herald).Glad I don't have a camera in my face asking me about the new nickname. To me, it didn't look like he wanted to answer the question. Edited November 18, 2015 by UND1981 missed word Quote
jimdahl Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 SiouxFootballSo this was just sent to us. If nothing else it maybe provides some levity. Cmon people, it's funny. https://t.co/7DS4HdvbJr11/18/15, 3:36 PM 2 Quote
Shawn-O Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 A few opponents' fans have actually said on twitter that they'll now call us 'the angry birds', so that logo is fitting.I dare them to go into the Fro-Hawks* and say that. *the most fanatical of the student section, most commonly seen wearing curly neon green wigs. The possibilities are endless. Quote
UND1981 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 'the angry birds' AB is better than FH Quote
MafiaMan Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Yeah, I'll have to get to work on that. All the particularly obvious domain names were taken by UND and speculators long ago, but there are lots of possibilities.Well get to work, jimdahl. I have a new batch of fleece winter hats to order!

Popular Post dakotadan Posted November 18, 2015 Popular Post Posted November 18, 2015 I am honestly embarrassed. There are five other state universities in North Dakota and we couldn't even come up with a nickname that wasn't already being used by one of them.Seriously. That is just embarrassing. 10 Quote
