OK, so let me get this straight:

Years ago John Buccigross puts out hats that say "Cawlidge Hawkey" and they are like way so cooooool. 

So, seeing that, and the number of college hockey fans that scooped them up, Adidas plays off that with the new nickname and they are like way so baaaaaad? 

That's clever once in an email to your friends, or a one-time tweet. And then it's just dumb.  Has always grated on me.

I wasn't there. But this was sent to me by someone who was. 

Still not a huge fan of the logo but works ok on that shirt.  I'd actually wear that.

Scheels Fargo today.  Not a lot of logo consistency between pieces.

Still waiting for the black or green Under Armour 1/4 zip pullover with the logo on the chest!!

I'm sorry, but this hat looks AWFUL.  If I wasn't a fan of the school or the team, I'd have NO CLUE what the green "letters" are supposed to be.

That's nitpicking now, isn't it?

All of the hats ive seen leave a lot to be desired. The logo is just too damn big.

I'd like to see a printed "trucker" hat version, myself.  You know, the hats with the white foam front with a mesh back.  Maybe we could call them "throw back" hats

agreed...that looks horrible no ways about it...can someone show me a black hat with just the white hawk head logo minus the nd...probably would look pretty decent.

I've been more open to accepting the new logo but that's a bad hat.

I am talking about the image above. Looks like a golf bag with a hawk on it.

It is a pair of sweatpants.

The logo placement sure looks random.  It looks like it ended up placed there after a game of pin the tail on the donkey.

Not sure I'd wear it, but it's actually not bad.  Then again, i'm just not a big hat guy....

You can probly get one of those in any gift store in Minnesota. Wouldn't that be defeating the purpose of the new logo, then no one outside of Grand Forks or Fargo would know where it's from. It would just be another hat with a bird head on it.

[Siouxperfan7]

Thick embroidery on hats never looks good.  This is no different.  There is going to be good stuff and bad looking stuff.  There was Sioux merch that looked pretty crappy as well.  It happens.  There has been some good looking Fighting Hawks merchandise out there as well.  But of course there will be people that will say everything is ugly to justify their belief that the logo is horrible.
