That's why they have a Nodak Nation flag. I think part of the reason in the shift to hawks was the student support for that hawk logo that is owned by the Blackhawks, and basically not PC enough. Was a cool logo but they were basing their hopes on a farce. 2 Quote

Not that it was an option, but THAT logo was the one. Ugh. So effing stupid. 3 Quote

CMSioux Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 What gets lost in this fiasco is that the east coast agency that was hired to run the process was focused on ensuring we came away with a safe and politically correct name NOT a unique and creative one, so it was very easy for them to push aside the guiding principles they were given. 2 Quote

This is probably my biggest fear associated with this entire process. I hope to be pleasantly surprised but the realist in me would bet against this. Quote

And I actually had people tell me they were voting for Hawks because of H.A.W.K.S. = How About We Keep Sioux. Ugh. The whole thing was a MESS. Quote
