Hockey team has plenty of leadership. Just because they're speaking out against the terrible nickname/logo instead of just falling in line like the other athletes doesn't mean there is no leadership. They want to speak their mind and share their feelings instead of just falling in line and that is fine with me. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Sioux Captain Gage Ausmus claims new hockey jersey logo mockup is the "ugliest he's seen" and they should just put it on a shoulder patch. SiouxSports goes into uproar mode about hockey leadership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, in a day of hyperbole you win the contest for the stupidest post of the day. The hockey team exemplifies leadership from the coaches on down. You "football only" guys are pretty quick to throw our National Champions under the bus for saying what we all know. I can't believe anyone on this board is trashing these guys. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership is what the real Bubba did today at the presser. The other one was silent and non-committal about supporting the name, as usual. He completely dodged the question about new logo on Michaels show today and went into some BS about character. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Gage could've said way more with: "We're wearing the same style as our 2016 championship jersey this season ... and I'm glad." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxSioux Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 For those of us keeping score at home.... We had a fantastic name and logo taken away from us. I pragmatically accepted that. We had numerous committees come up with the process for the new name. The process included criteria that the new name had to follow. Of the numerous submissions, a name that did not meet the critria was put into the final mix of names, while the popular "just use North Dakota" was removed from the vote. A hawk logo made its way around social media. I witnessed first hand people who thought that the hawk logo was going to be used in conjuction with the Fighting Hawks name. We end up with a bland PC name that doesn't meet selection committee criteria. An equally bland logo for the new name comes out and now not only do we lose the Sioux name and logo, we lose the recently revised interlocking ND logo that all of the teams had incorporated. The interlocking ND logo has been on the helmets since the 1960's. Does that pretty much sum things up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed the part where the university handed money to an out of state agency to give us the pearl of wisdom that when teams change their names they usually go with a color or a bird or a color and a bird. Then wasted more money on another out of state company to design the blandest logo possible. All of this while the state is in a budget deficit and students are getting their tuition jacked up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post UND-RedSox fan Posted June 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2016 I appreciate honesty. I appreciate that if Gage hates the new logo that he didn't hold back. The criticism of someone having an opinion is why we never hear athletes saying anything of substance. I'd much rather hear someone be blunt about how they think an awful logo is awful than hear him spit out some company line or cliche. Athletes are people and they have opinions. If they can't say what they think and are forced to toe some company line (like it seems some of you want) then why should anyone care what they have to say. They would just be parrots and I don't care to hear parrots talk. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to see what the logo would look like with different color jerseys. I have no idea if this is the route UND/SME is taking with the negative space: To me, it looks like the letters are being ripped apart.

Ben Brien's try was a-swing-and-a-miss. And blaming SME is foolish. The vote gave them chicken < bleep >, another "adjective hawk", and they had to try to make chicken salad.

That's not what I said. If they support it they support it. You don't have to hate the new logo. I'm sure there are athletes out there that like it. I don't. Neither does Gage. And I appreciate that he is being honest. To question Gage's intelligence and leadership because he doesn't like a logo and said as much is quite childish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
