But as a primary logo, there certainly are some deficiencies. I'll embrace it, but I sure would like to see some color alternatives for this (it's going to be on a kelly green helmet, so revealed color scheme won't work) and, eventually, a primary logo developed that features just the hawk with more detail. Never played a down for a logo. In the 90's they forced the geometric crap upon us, barely put a thought to it. The new logo will be cool with me when we host a playoff game in the Alerus. 3 Quote

Would need to see it on the helmet first. Like others have said already, put the number on the other side of the helmet opposite of the ND Hawk 4 Quote
siouxfan512 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Does anyone know what the intentions are for putting the logo onto green helmets? Outlining the green ND? Changing the color of the ND for the green helmets? Obviously green ND and a green helmet won't work. 1 Quote

siouxfan512 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I have to admit, I would really start getting on board with the new name if we had something better. I really like the concept art in the below link, or at least some variation of it. https://www.behance.net/gallery/34630947/University-of-North-Dakota-Fighting-Hawks-Concept 1 Quote

UNDBIZ Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Native American headdress = No dice Also just an ugly logo. Judging by the eye, this bird likes to party with hard drugs. The ham-handed attempt to incorporate an outline of the state also looks pretty terrible. The shuttlecock logo (getting rid of the button that made the feathers appear native) is much better than this one, IMO. 2 Quote

It is incorporating school history into a new name and logo. Regardless, if you think it is an ugly logo, that is an argument that I can completely understand. It is kind of how I feel about the new logo. I think it would be fine as a secondary or alternative logo, but I would prefer something similar to the concept art. Not necessarily that exact one, but some variation of that. I honestly didn't see the state outline incorporation, and I agree, this logo could get rid of that part. If UND is going to go all in with the "Fighting Hawks, they could definitely implement a mascot, but I think you need to implement a strong logo from which the mascot can be based. I don't see any scenario where the current logo could be developed into a mascot. The concept are would be much better IF the school wants to move towards having a mascot. Quote

No bird had feathers that come from one spot at different angles like that. It's clearly a head dress. Feather are on birds but that is a bird with at the very least some type of feather ear ring.

The Sicatoka Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I'd say it fails due to "head dress" but it fails far worse as "cartoonish". Quote

77iceman Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 You know . . . i wouldn't mind seeing them go all "Pittsburgh Steelers" with this by just having the new Hawk logo on just one side (facing forward). I always thought that, even though that logo itself isn't anything too exciting, just having it on one side was always kinda cool. 1 Quote
