Something that looks like this. Get rid of the bird head and it's not terrible. Going with just wings would also be unique in the NCAA world, as far as I know at least.

siouxfan512 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Can we name the Hawk mascot Sue? Have it wearing a Nodak t-shirt? AND Have a Teddy Roosevelt type mustache? ..... maybe even have it carrying a Flickertail and gazing at the North Star or a Sundog? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Seems to me the majority of NCAA logos (or any other logo) that has a bird as their nickname has usually the head of the bird or the entire bird as the logo. UND really needs to differentiate itself from all the other bird logos. (Of course not picking a bird nickname would have solved that, but that's a whole other argument). I like the idea of using just the wings. For all the people that say that the NCAA won't let us have feathers in our logo, that ridiculous. The NCAA is not going to tell us our bird logo can't have feathers. We can all agree that this logo needs to basically be a slam dunk in order to salvage the generic name. Making it different from all the other bird logos should be taken into consideration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its the feathers, its the feathers done in a native headdress style, which is what some of the better concepts have had.

4evrSIOUX Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Please please please, can the hawk be named Sue? That would silence the "you can't yell Sioux" people that think we need to move on!! Talk about sticking it to the NCAA. There is absolutely nothing they could so about that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are dreaming if you think that is going to happen. I doubt we will see a goofy looking hawk mascot walking around. At least not for a little while. Would be more in favor of a live hawk that would circle the field/court/ice before each game. Not a new concept, but definitely better than a green big bird like mascot running around!!

geaux_sioux Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 So, UND went through three sioux logos before they finally got it right. How many cracks will it take to get this one right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxSlickers11 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Look at all the sheep in this thread. All the people that are willing to just accept "Fighting Hawks." It's embarrassing and a suitable name for a Pee Wee Football team. Not a proud University. Mascots are supposed to be meaningful! Something that people can feel and get behind. Not a generic BS acronym. I wont stand for the new name and neither should you. Be a sheepdog and fight back or just sit back and get rolled over your whole life. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think there is something that can be done, take a trip out there are talk to their tribal council. Report back on their answer.
