Siouxperfan7 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Not sure how everyone else feels, but merchandise with the new logo on a black hat or a black Under Armor jacket would be pretty sweet!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, they are apparently in the works of making slight modifications to use it in multiple applications. I have heard that adding a white border to be able to use it with a black or green background is one of the possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxphan27 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It's a big, plain, all white bird with barely discernible, subtle features. Thus, the dove label. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is everyone getting this that there is going to be slight modifications to the logo? From my understanding, Mr Ed has made it clear that this logo is it and no changes are coming forth.

I have heard from a source within the UND athletic department that they are making slight modifications only in regards to adding borders to accommodate using the logo on different background colors. As far as the logo itself, you are correct. It is not changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nickname is secondary. You apparently like the idea of adding insult to injury by shoving this hated new nickname in the faces of longtime Fighting Sioux fans. I don't agree with you, but I get where you're coming from. So wait, you want the name of the school promoted first and foremost but then you rail against UND for dropping the Fighting Sioux nickname even though a nickname is secondary. I'm also pretty sure you swore off supporting UND if they dropped the Fighting Sioux nickname because if they changed nicknames they would be a completely different team than what you supported even though the University of North Dakota didn't change and the name the school is the most important (since it should be promoted first and foremost). Do you ever get dizzy spinning yourself in circles with your nonsense? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND chose a NEW nickname, if you would read what I wrote. The company isn't going to suggest to keep an old completely unrelated logo for a new nickname/marketing campaign. How hard is this to understand? I guess I must be pretty dense then. Most schools have a letter logo and a nickname logo. Repeat: most schools have two athletic logos, not one. Just because UND adopted a new nickname and was forced to drop its nickname logo does not mean it had to scrap its letter logo, variations of which it has been using for over 100 years. Even as beloved as the Sioux logos were, none of them were ever UND's sole athletic logo. Even if the company recommended a single logo, the University didn't have to go along with it. This isn't a corporation rolling out a new marketing campaign, it's a University, where a lot of people care about quaint ideas like tradition and continuity. With all the changes in recent years, it would have been nice, even prudent, to have one symbol remain. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you are pretty dense because I was responding to the notion that UND only had to keep the old ND and NOT roll out a new logo. So it would be New "Hawks" - Old Logo. Which is stupid. Now if you read back a bit I state they certainly could/should have kept the ND logo for a secondary look. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
