People on here question the loyalty to UND of a hockey coach and captain that just won us a national championship 2 months ago because of one tweet... Only on siouxsports.com

Lets not forget Berry has taken the trophy all over town so the fans can enjoy it. Also, Berry is of the mind see that no player is bigger than the school or the program. Brad could be coaching at the NHL level but is coaching at UND. Questioning Berry's loyalty is a non-starter and short sighted. I wouldn't go there. Finally, if I am not mistaken he has also graduated from UND.

Twins fans had to be up in arms when the "TC" logo stole the "C" from Cincinnati. 

Where do the Chicago Bears fit into all of this?!

[The Sicatoka]

Not sure. I'm trying to decipher when Green Bay became Grambling and moved to Georgia .

It's not one tweet that cause some people to question his loyalty to UND.  It's his lack of ever tweeting the Fighting Hawks name that may have people questioning his loyalty to helping UND move forward from the Sioux name.

If everyone would quit tweeting,  we'd all be better off.  Good grief,  not tweeting enough support.  You've got to be kidding.

I wonder if this logo is a sacrificial one, maybe becomes a secondary one once all the heat dies down? 

Turn it up before turning it down?

This certainly screams support for the new name/logo:

We've had success because of the players we've brought into our community and team. We have to keep bringing in players with those same attributes to continue to have success. The most important thing is the player inside that uniform.

"Gage could have said he didn't like the new logo in a classier manner."

Then Berry does that in which we have to read between the lines, and then the narrative changes to he needs to show more support for it.

..and then we complain about complaining.

FYI... Jayson says the bird will always be white, so here are a couple unofficial looks for the on-grey and on-black backgrounds/jerseys:

 

And I have no idea what they're going to do with the black breast part on a green jersey, so here's a couple options:

Official color variations should be arriving in the next two weeks apparently.

Good thing I'm well stocked with lots of gear with the old nickname and logo on it...................

Ditto! Plus enough gear with North Dakota and the interlocking ND on it.

"It could be worse."

Absolutely........ so that is why it gets a 'D' in our book.

Because of it looking like a knock off of the USPS logo, we think a new cheer with 'Going Postal' in it would be hilarious. Kind of like what this thread has turned into.

I know people have said the hawk will never be used without the ND, but I think the football helmets would look really cool if they used large hawk logos facing forward. It would give it the wing look similar to Philly or Oregon.

Nobody is happy, and nobody is personally offended.   These are the times we live in.

Calm down I fixed it

Whew!  I just woke up from a bad dream that UND dropped its nickname and logo and came up with something lame and generic via a convoluted, expensive, and painful process.

The anti hockey folks come up with good stuff.  It's almost an ag school type inferiority complex.

Ahhh!

marxism is still alive!

[Old Time Hockey]

So if very few people buy this crap, will UND be forced to release a special allotment of Sioux stuff, err, I mean Legacy products at Christmas to make up for budget shortfalls?

At the very, very, very least, the background should always be the geographical outline of North Dakota instead of just a rectangle.

I know this thread is specific to the reaction and grading of the logo.  I would like to address it in a different way.  We see the numerous pages trashing the logo and some say just to move on and suck it up.  My question is, if this was the logo associated with "Fighting Hawks", would it have even survived to be in the final five?  I know how I graded it, and I used that criteria in doing so.

Can you tell me who you are referring to when talking about "anti-hockey folks"?

I can't think of one person on here or otherwise that is "anti-hockey", but I guess I could be wrong.

Did hyperbole get the best of you here? 

I do respect the emotion and passion on the topic, but do not believe that anyone here that is a fan of The University of North Dakota is "anti-hockey".

SME is on the phone....they want to know if you have any other good ideas.

There are anti hockey folks, just like there are hockey only folks.  In my opinion there are more hockey only than there are anti hockey but they both do exist.
