Unless you aren't from North Dakota...which this logo was trying to get away from the ND Notre Dame logo and Sioux logo and have a recognizable logo. This isn't clearly ND, from a distance (which is usually how logos are viewed) it looks like NO or NP. Quote

This isn't clearly ND, from a distance (which is usually how logos are viewed) it looks like NO or NP. The Brien Sioux logo wasn't recognizable to anyone when it first came out. But UND built brand recognition and eventually people recognized the Sioux logo as being UND. Same will happen to this logo. Give it time. Quote

By most sources, the majority of our fans hate the name and logo so I have lots of company. I guess venting = negativity. My support for the University and its athletic teams has not changed. 2 Quote

At the very least, the university should replace existing Fighting Sioux gear with new Fighting Hawks gear, enabling the transition. FHawk off, Mark. 1 Quote

Ah, he was on the baseball team in the 70s. Gives some insight on why he's taking pot shots at the university now. Unfortunate side effect of something that had to happen eventually. 1 Quote

When I read this I wondered if he was being sarcastic... if he is serious then he needs a reality check. I honestly have hit burn out on the nickname thing. That said UND can keep the Hawks merch, I will keep my Fighting Sioux gear. 1 Quote

Feel free to start a new rah rah thread about how great the new name and logo is. This is a reaction thread to the new logo and I have plenty of company of fans that don't like it. If we feel like pissing and moaning about it, this thread is a good spot. Tweak it all you want, most of us think it just plain stinks...three weeks later! Quote

I think you guys are taking his writing wrong. It's more of a complaint to UND, maybe not doing enough to fight for the Sioux name because they have an opportunity to make a sh*t load of money off both. IMO thats what he meant. My feelings are you couldn't pry his Sioux gear away from him either. 1 Quote

I did see one rendering where there was some open space in the middle of the D and it looked much better...well, it looked more like a D anyway. 2 Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 how soon til bubba shows off the new helmet...will it be green, black, or white? will it be matte, flat, or glossy? will have the nd and hawk logo, the new nd logo(if we get one), or just a hawk (if we get one)? Quote

One one hand he admits it was the NCAA that forced UND's hand, and then UND is supposed to buy back all of the Fighting Sioux merchandise? Makes no sense. Quote
Fetch Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Why would they be so stubborn to make this better or at least offer it in several layouts & see what will sell - I'm sure this will smoke anything else & also different color combos Quote
Fetch Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I really want to give this a chance & not be a hater I will always wear my Sioux gear with pride but they are possibly screwing this up if they don't listen in these final stages to get it right I know many are tired of it all & now new decision makers want it over with but they are close & should not stop now 1 Quote
