When other schools issue revised logos, there is normally many varieties to choose with the logo dispersed along the University's abbreviation, or the logo by itself, or with different major color, or with the state outline etc.  A logo used on a helmet or hat generally won't work for a jersey or tshirt, so alternatives of the same logo are made availiable to maximize the sales and revenue potential.  NDSU, SDSU, USD, UM, etc all have a number of different logo combinations to put on their uniforms and items for sale.

That is a major problem with the logo, as it is the only current choice.  The New York firm should know better.  It's for all practical purposes fireable offense that UND didn't pursue.

Let's not get too hasty . . . we don't know that alternate versions have not been created or or not in the works.

They're in the works.  Tentative goal is July 1 according to Jayson but it's a moving target.

With the new logo we have thanks to Ed's guidance, apparently the branding skill you speak of skips a generation.

Again, Fighting Hawks was picked pre-Ed. Ed just had to try to make chicken salad from it.

Ed did what needed to be done, introduce a single logo to take the brutal criticism, and let himself take the criticism for the incoming president.  A nice fee for a scapegoat that can take the heat.  Now, more coffee

Translation: if your preferred nickname would have been chosen, we would now be looking at an amazing, spectacular, in your face take no prisoners intimidating Roughriders logo.  

Funny how that works. :p

If we are in the playoffs(maybe even hosting a game in the Alerus)it will look just fine to me.

Agreed.  I do think it's catchy though. I've begun to like it more and more each day. 

 I'm also happy to hear there will be alternative logos in terms of color. A different color is needed for the logo to appear nicely on the matte green helmets.

Translated: SME rolled something out and let the folks here give critique and test drive some final touches. 

Any takers that the hawk shows up on an outline of the State in the next SME release?

Why is everyone so obsessed with the outline of the state? The state is basically a rectangle and not an overly interesting or identifiable shape like Texas, Florida, Michigan, or Hawaii would be. I don't get it.

Agreed. The only place I would use the state outline with the logo is on playing surfaces. It would look good at midfield, center court and center ice.

If you think a Roughriders logo would've ended up as anything other than a generic, soft, happy go lucky goofy looking cowboy....well, never mind, I'll let you dream. :D

Imagine a three-color, corporate, not-a-lot-of-detail-and-definition, horse and rider on an new font "ND". <-- NAILED IT! :D

I'm sure your imagination had a good idea for a fighting Hawks logo as well. 

I'm sure we all had ideas.  I'd also bet that none of us were envisioning a fighting Hawks logo to be the white dove from the cover of a Portals of Prayer daily devotional.

Lol hardly.

I'll own the name as it was the best of the final two.  

my support will not change; I just won't be buying any gear with the dove on it.

SME is working on color variations and specific team wordmarks.

think jayson could maybe send out an email to alumni and whatnot informing fans of this info (granted he might be busy painting hak's garage ercru or midnight grey)
