Are you talking about Ron His Horse is Thunder? 1 Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/3922918-application-date-extended-fighting-hawks-logo-design The way this article i written, it sounds line any "designer or firm" could submit a proposal to design the logo. So for all those who keep saying that some design firm from the east coast is gonna design the new logo, you may be wrong. Quote

You said 28 DI schools have Hawks well only 1 has Fighting Hawks. As for a great name, it follows a great University so why not. Quote

My High School went by "Lakers" . . . then merged with another school for sports and went by "Rebels", but we couldn't use any "confederate" imagery. Honestly, we had no real mascot or logo for either name. FIghting Hawks ain't so bad from where I've come from. Oh yeah, and my college was "Yellow Jackets", and our school colors were black and orange. WTF?? Quote
