Then why did you add the "whatever you want to call them " part? They have a nickname. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because some people still prefer call them the Sioux and some are ready for Hawks, which is fine as long we're supporting the same university/team.

But instead, the chose something unique that shows a hawk head embedded in our state's initials. Would you be more satisfied if UND came out with just another generic bird logo that looks like every other bird logo out there? o I don't see our State's initials. I see 'NO ' with a hawks head bisecting it>>>No Hawks. It's done. We're stuck with it but I don't have to like it. I support the school. I support the athletes. I hate the new logo. I have enough Sioux gear to last my lifetime and I'm going to continue to wear it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least one of the hockey players did, in a tweet. Sorry, I don't remember who it was. If it's important, I'll find the tweet and post it.

If it's important, I'll find the tweet and post it. Gage Ausmus said that. I also don't see a clear ND in the logo. I see a NP moreso than anything else. Another frustrating this about this new look logo, it isn't even clearly ND or a hawk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That all the problems that the nickname created have been fixed now that the University has retired the new name.

Hope he can now spend his time on all the secondary problems Native Americans face. I'm sure he will. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes it sound like there is no support on Spirit Lake for the Sioux nickname. Am I racist if his diatribe now makes me like the new logo even less?
