UNDBIZ Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Very safe logo for a very safe name. Not surprised or really impressed, but it certainly could've been a lot worse. 1 Quote

Which I'm guessing is no longer a logo supported by UND. It was time to get away from sharing the interlocking ND with Notre Dame. 2 1 Quote
siouxkid12 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 In all honesty, when I saw that UND picked SME for this logo, I had high hopes. At the end of the day they really screwed the pooch on this one. 2 Quote
neoflex Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Ad agency: SO that UND logo is due up tomorrow, let see what we got? Ad agency team: Um...I thought it was due next week? Ad agency: For crying out loud, what can you come up with? Ad team: Let see...how about we use the Burlington northern logo, photo shop in the Atlanta Hawks logo......change the colors. And Whala!... Ad agency: WTF...that's awesome! Let's go cash that check 4 Quote

That was the one saving grace in all this. Quote

geaux_sioux Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Some of the complaints a lot of you are coming up with are pretty hilarious. God himself could have done a Fighting Hawks logo and people would still nitpick and whine. Move on, this won't be the logo for the next 1000 years. 6 3 Quote

I'd rather have the image itself vs. the ND tacked on to it. That doesn't really appear congruous Boring is better than obnoxiously hideous 1 1 Quote

ArchyAlum11 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 And now comes the 2nd rush on UND gear, people buying North Dakota gear before they shove the new logo down our throats. 2 Quote

Agree - taken to the bank - Epic Fail - like a previous post said: Lame and generic, just like everything else associated with this process 1 Quote

No. Per Bubba, they will have this new atrocity on their helmets this coming season. I guess technically there is an N and D somewhere in that logo (arguably), but you can't dispute that this is a remarkable departure for the football team, which has used pretty much the same logo on its helmet since 1969. And before that, they just had numbers on the helmets. The football team has never incorporated the nickname logo on to its helmet. It's disappointing that they will use this new logo to do so. 7 1 Quote

It'll look fine. Just win with whatever damn thing is on the helmet. At least the colors will/should match ... 5 1 Quote
