MafiaMan Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 I have asked the folks who designed this logo for their permission to perhaps use it on a jersey if there was enough interest in such a project. I figured now is the perfect time to gauge exactly that. Personally, I would flip the logo around and have the hawk facing to the left instead of the right, but this logo is indeed pretty cool. Would need a minimum number to do it - this would certainly be a unique item (and definitely not Reebok). Just throwin' it out there...you could be wearing this along with the number 8 next fall when the new banner is raised to the rafters at REA! 1 1 Quote

Fetch Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Got to get that button thingy off it They would be smart to hurry now and do 1st run as Champion jersey Quote
focker Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Looks better without the 'bullseye' IMO. I like it on the football helmet... Quote
snooty89 Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I like it. I will buy a Fighting Hawks Jersey when they become available. My 3 year old and 1 year old boys both need jerseys as well. I would have to get replica ones of course. Hopefully our real logo looks good like this one. Quote
Fetch Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I like it but will wait to see the one that's coming I think they are missing the best launch time not before we won but now Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 On 4/12/2016 at 11:24 PM, Sioux>Bison said: Feathers..... Offensive..... Sigh Expand Feathers that look like a headdress would be the problem. Birds with feathers would not necessarily be offensive. Removing that bullseye makes this less headdress like. It might have passed the test. Of course it has nothing to do with the logo that is actually being designed. Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 I'm not interested in re-hashing the Native-ness of the feathers or anything about this particular design. If you want a one-of-a-kind hockey jersey, then post your interest in purchasing one. Otherwise, feel free to carry on this discussion in the nickname thread. Quote

siouxfan512 Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I was just at scheels last weekend, couldn't bring myself to buy anything that said hawks. Did find a ND hockey shirt though, had to go that route. 2 1 Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 16, 2016 Author Posted April 16, 2016 Had a couple of mock-ups done. Won't post pics here because of the doubters, but if you're into jerseys, PM me. It'll be worth a look. Quote

I also like the beak profile that the student did that gives a negative space North Dakota outline. Quote

If you build it, they will come. Who says you can't modify the Fighting Hawks logo over time too? See Mankato's logo over the years. 1 Quote

You're right though, many programs update and clean up logos over the years. Quote
