This is one of the most idiotic things I've seen written in the Hurled, and that says a lot. 1. Most fans with Sioux gear will never part with it, and 2. Why would UND even contemplate a repurchase to bolster the new name and logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set it when I was playing around with the different colors, hoping the bird was negative space. I think the current logo is fine but I wish they had implemented some of the changes we have seen here. I know they would never take message board examples to come up with something new but I wish they had made it a little more detailed off the bat. Who knows, if they update it in 3-5 years, they could do some of the adjustments we have seen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like the concept of new logo . . . but i messed around with adding the black tips to the feathers and a black outline. I felt it added just a little depth, made that black on the hawk's neck a little more valid, and kept the hawk from looking so much like a bald eagle. I can't see the logo changing at all any time soon. I know that "not liking it" is the cool thing to do, but for me, I'm a newbie fan of UND . . . not exactly "Sioux Forever".

Siouxperfan7 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=211071792 You made the decision to put the new Fighting Hawk logo on the helmets this season, what motivated you to do that?“We know who we want to be and we know what we want to represent. We feel like we have a coaching staff and players that really want to be a part of something special at the University of North Dakota. Right now, we are entering a new era and I think it’s an opportunity for our program to be leaders as we enter this era. We always respect the past and we talk about that a lot within our program because it is one that has a rich, proud and winning tradition. Now, we have a new name and that is not going to change how we approach our day-to-day tasks, how we feel about our University, how we feel about our program and the responsibility we carry in representing this institution." -------------------------------------- This is the type of attitude that all UND coaches, student athletes, and fans need to have when dealing with the new name and logo. Bubba has always been a consistent reminder of what the focus of UND athletics should be. Well said Bubba. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will see the clean, simple look...... Refreshing to hear/read of coach Bubba's statements about moving ahead and embracing the new look/image....Time for 'puck-suck' crowd to do so also....Coach Berry seems like a good guy, but perhaps is being held hostage by those who like to live in the past...BTW....love this site....but how about a 'rebranding'???????? 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, it's not profiteering if they have no choice. Second, Sioux stuff is typically now worth more to other fans or on eBay than its original purchase price, unless you've already worn it out. Third, almost all teams rebrand from time to time to renew interest in a team, but it's a rare "fan" who considers his older "throwback" jersey obsolete. Fourth, you bought any Sioux merchandise willingly and in an arm's length transaction because that's what you wanted, not because there was some 50 year guarantee of future use or relevance of the message imprinted thereon. Fifth, VW outright cheated government regulations (not to mention the environment), and were blatantly dishonest. The University, in contrast, has gone beyond what most would consider prudent in trying to retain the "Sioux" nickname and logos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
