He was speaking out against the jersey look AND logo. By the way, there is no guarantee that the logo doesn't end up on the front of our jerseys starting in 2017. That I cannot handle. Gage Ausmus @Gausmus47 21h21 hours ago This has to be the ugliest jersey/logo I've ever seen #HideTheLogo #Putitontheshoulder Since you can't handle it will you stop going to games?

The cartoon gopher isn't bad either, but you'd never put it on the front of a jersey. Agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeder11 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Caveat: I never let myself say nice things about the the kids from goofy land: --So let's get this straight... the goofers have a horrible name and logo. It survives on history and tradition but as a stand alone image it all sux, and had something like that been unveiled at UND yesterday, the pitchforks and torches would have been out instead of just hyperbolic opinions over the Internets! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Pretty clear that Shanks and Pryor both had, at best shall we say, a muted response to the logo. And they did it diplomatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously............ That's not what I said. I wasn't saying there would be no resistance if not for the hockey team. What I'm saying is if the hockey team came out in support of moving forward, the resistance would die down much quicker. Instead, certain individuals are feeding the flames.

InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 13 minutes ago, UND-FB-FAN said: The hockey program is stuck up, fortunately they produce big time so they have a long, long rope. Nevertheless, limited humility by the hockey program. Last time I checked, the University of North Dakota is not in Canada (although many think it just as well could be) and hockey is not the be all and end all. You want to expand notoriety, you expand football and basketball; hockey is already maxed out and has no right to complain and b*tch. What does that even mean?

I think what's being argued is that they can have their opinions and state them in a way that is less divisive to the community, similar to what we've seen from Bubba, Prior, Brewster and a number of UND athletes yesterday. Kind of like when I was in the Army... I had all kinds of opinions about the President and the U.S. government, and even though I was not censored and knew my 1st Amendment rights, when in the presence of media, my comments were truthful but certainly not divisive to the nation nor the commander in chief. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprig Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 It's been the norm in this forum to rip on everything hockey, from the beginning of the nickname change. Everyone I've run into around gf does not think much of the logo. Time for everyone to let it go. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Oxbow6 Posted June 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2016 O'Brien: "I love it". Ausmus: "Ugliest...I have ever seen". O'Brien: True representation of a UND athlete, great leader and true American patriot. Ausmus: Poor example of a UND athlete, feeding resistance to all, and a Canadian who should have stayed in his own country because EGF is close to Canada. .........am I missing anything? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
