KSSioux Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 The only way this works on anything is if the helmet is gray or black. Even the Black will distort the small amount of black in the logo. THis process only has grown worse. As I stated, this logo cannot work on anything green or white without some kind of border. Quote

ClassB Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 couple thoughts from me and then I'll be done commenting on this - its not good for my mental health to continue to discuss this subject: 1. Don't tell us 'we'll always be ND' and 'we'll always have the interlocking logo' and 'we appreciate our heritage' and then go ahead and get ANOTHER letter-based logo which will effectively wipe out our interlocking ND -- our connection to teams of the past. This isn't a standalone mascot, its a replacement of the interlocking ND - what will we have parading around the sidelines at football games? 2. after looking at SME's body of work months ago (think NAU), we had to know this was coming. 3. This would be a super cool airplane company logo - clean-cut, simple, sleek. Doesn't give us anything to get excited about. Go UND. 1 Quote
Tangolou Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Last week Ed told us they were just deciding on some colors for the finishing touch. What colors? 3 Quote

tnt Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Are we attributing all of this to SME, or were they given criteria by UND that made being creative impossible. I for one would like to see some of the other designs they came up with. I can understand with how poorly the other process went why they didn't pick 3 designs to choose from and let the public vote. If given the criteria that generic is the only option, what could come out of that. 3 Quote

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. I wonder if Siouxsports.com was this outraged in 1969 when the football team went from numbers on the helmets to the interlocking ND and completely ruined tradition. Quote

Cratter Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 How do they put this on a green shirt or football helmet? Quote

That's what I'm waiting for and what I'm guessing Ed was talking about when saying they were finishing up colors. I put it on a basic black background and it looks nice. I wonder if they switch the ND to black for putting it on a green background. Quote

I prefer it to what we got... though Someone should start either a North Dakota Airways or North Dakota Parcel Service because this logo would be great for either of those things. Quote

Some people find interest in uniforms and logos, some people don't. Just now, southpaw said: I wonder if Siouxsports.com was this outraged when the football team went from numbers on the helmets to the interlocking ND and completely ruined tradition. Not all change is equal. And you can call all this trivial and that's fine, but it means something to a lot of people. When a University is dropping its 80 year old nickname, it could have held on to at least one marking from the past. Instead, UND chose to cut ties entirely with its past. I was not a huge fan of the interlocking ND logo, but I don't think they should have retired it. It was a bridge to the past for those who care about those kind of things. Now it's this thing or nothing. Teams have no escape from the new branding anymore, which I suppose is exactly what the administration wanted. Quote

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. lol 'everyone rejoice, its only temporary' - yeah we wanted exactly the opposite, timelessness. Quote
