ArchyAlum11 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Whoever came up with the "hawkey" thing deserves a firm kick in the groin and a hard punch in the gut. Cutesy crap has never had a home at UND, well except for when they did that idiotic cartoon logo briefly in the late 60's. That's the kind of crap that will lead them creating some sort of dumb ass mascot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND didn't want a cartoonish bird logo. I doubt they are going to want a big cartoon bird mascot running around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I know some folks think the hawk by itself minus the ND in the background would look good, but I think it'll look like a white blob with an eye. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Seems that the UND bookstore only has a licence with Champion for their apparel. Not really a huge fan of their stuff and it doesn't look great. that being said, here are a few more examples of what the bookstore has on their website.

ericpnelson Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I really don't hate the apparel, and I for sure wasn't in love with the name and/or logo at either's announcement. Some of the stuff is actually pretty cool, I think. One thing I will say is, and I don't know if this is a camera or a computer screen thing, I usually like the logo when the green is green like the borders on this website, but as soon as it gets a hint of blue, I hate it.

Champion brand apparel is not the greatest. And the bookstore seems to carry that mostly. Bookstore merch has always been lame. Even Sioux stuff. Scheels and the Sioux Shop should have some good stuff out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernraider Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I think more stuff needs "University of North Dakota" instead of "North Dakota". Most people around the country, if they know about UND, still associate it with Sioux North Dakota Fighting Hawks could just be the name of some club or professional sports team in Fargo to outsiders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many club, semi pro, legion, etc teams play under the state name? None. They all play under the city name. I don't think anyone is going to think that the North Dakota Fighting Hawks are some legion baseball team in Jamestown!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
