mksioux Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 it is VERY disappointing this thing will be on the football helmets. The Sioux logo was never on the football helmet. There was no need for the football team to make that kind of drastic change. 2 1

GeauxSioux Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 It looks like a cross between the Burlington Northern and North Stars logos. I was hoping for better. This is going to take time to grow on me.
Ranger Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Too bad they didn't go with a drywall tool hawk... i would support that more.
tnt Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 When there are avatars out there that are better, it is frustrating that this is what they come up with. If you wanted the nickname to take hold, this was the blandest way to try accomplish that. Not horrible, but is that what we set out to do. Apparently, that is what we set out to do for this whole screwed up process, find the least offensive logo and name. None of their criteria was met with either the name or logo, but then again, that is what we were told from the get go that we would get. 1
Cratter Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 I had low expectations and I don't think they were met. So now we don't have "just a logo" anymore but will always be accompanies by "ND". That's a fail. It'll look good on the football helmet but that hockey jersey was fugly. 3
Shawn-O Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 A dove photobombed the Farm Bureau logo...initial reaction. 3
77iceman Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 It's not too interesting . . . it's pretty safe. But there's no bird teeth or muscle arms, so I'm satisfied

JohnboyND7 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 I voted F. This thing is hideous. I love it. Can't wait to see it on the football helmets 1

Old Time Hockey Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 In Dan "Common Man" Cole robot voice... "That is the most awesome logo I've ever seen. It is thoughtful and inspiring and we should be happy we got rid of that boring old name and logo." Lame and generic, just like everything else associated with this process. Grade...F Epic fail. 4

LFSPRO Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Shocked is my only response. What else can you say about something this bad. Although I wanted no logo I was hopeful that the logo would change my mind. This just leaves a sick feeling in my stomach.

But not terribly inspiring either. I'd rather have the image itself vs. the ND tacked on to it. That doesn't really appear congruous 1

Bubba is doing what he thinks is right in trying to move the university and fans forward. We had the interlocking ND on our helmets for a long time.
