I'm assuming that SME's reps spun this about as positively as they could, and that UND was, for better or worse, simply AWOL at one or more critical junctures. The cause was probably 99% budget and 1% hockey results, but that too is just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetch Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 So how similar to the Philadelphia Eagles logo will the new Fighting Hawks Logo be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetch Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I know that's a Eagle but still not bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I'd guess not at all. Given both teams are green (with black and white) a savvy marketing firm would get away from that look to try to keep unique images for each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 We got a sneak peak at some clothing with the new logo on it at media day. I think it looks really good. I really like the alternate logo with the black letters on the green background. 9 more days till the rest of us can get our hands on some new merch!

bigskyvikes Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Looks good! Truly is growing on me. When they make it look cool on a hockey jersey I will buy some. I will always keep and mostly wear my closet full of Sioux gear! But I'm liking how this is starting to look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hockeygirl97 Posted August 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'm sorry...I still think it looks terrible....and I was really hoping for a great logo cuz I was just tired of the process and wanted to be done. It's a good thing we own enough Sioux jerseys to survive until the 2nd or 3rd generation Hawks stuff comes out from another company. My grandkids will probably still be wearing Sioux jerseys. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not by choice. Kids are, by definition, not drawn to nostalgia. Anybody here ever tried introducing their children to the cultural icons (sports, film, music, TV, etc.) of the past? (And I mean the really, really good stuff that you SWEAR is so much better than today's crap.) It is NOT an easy sell. The only kids wearing this stuff in 10-20 years will be the descendants of hardcore faithful and neo-hipster-younglings trying to be ironic. Most kids, of course, will have zero appreciation for it, other than trying to make mom and dad happy. Before long, "Sioux" will be a memory...old fuzzy pictures on the walls and something the old folks like to talk about when hockey is on, but with little to no relevance to future generations. Basically, "Flickertails." Or the Brooklyn Dodgers. UND will continue to have its legion fans, but we should all hope that the new ones aren't artificially manufactured and brainwashed to believe that it's Sioux or nothing. Let them learn and love and learn to love UND on their own terms, and wear whatever they want. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the beginning you say how your love for the hockey has changed with the nickname/merchandise/logo. If it has "always been about good hockey" to you I'm having a hard time understanding your position. The hockey hasn't actually changed even though the nickname has. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on record as not being a huge fan of this logo. Not sure if it's the black letters but this doesn't look all bad. Better than I would have expected.
