Not a huge deal, just not a fan of it backwards. As someone else said you can't reverse it because of thre ND Quote

Yup...just like the Minnesota Vikings logo....already would be better to have another logo that could be "inverted". The new hawks logos can't be "inverted" just like the old interlocking ND logo couldn't be inverted....didn't stop UND....so because there's a hawk in the logo it changes perception? Quote

It would be easier if the hawk logo wasn't part of th letter 'D.' See the UNI logo above. The ND would be backwards, either that or the hawk would be facing the opposite way as the other side. It's one thing when it's an interlocking ND being "backwards" but with the Hawk, it looks more awkward. If the Hawk logo wasn't apart of the letters, like UNI, it would also be easier to do. 1 Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Well I guess you can't say that our new logo isn't unique. Its the only logo out there that can't be reversed and can only be viewed in one direction!! Quote

No because the logo looks bad, it actually looks fairly sharp on the helmets; but it does bother me to see the bird facing the back of the helmet. probably just my OCD. Hearing the fans of a number on one side will be happy 1 Quote

dakotadan Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 That's an ugly look. Should just do #s on both sides then. 1 Quote

77iceman Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 I'm assuming green helmets, as that's what would match all sets and colors of uniforms. drum-roll please . . . . . Quote
homer Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 I'm a fan. Logo looks good on those helmets. 1 Quote
Popular Post JTSchro Posted August 2, 2016 Popular Post Posted August 2, 2016 I thought the reveal was cool too. More fun then the grey uniform reveal with just a picture. Well done IMO. I'm excited for the season! 7 Quote
ChrisUND1 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 I like the look. The white outline really adds to the logo. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Logo looks sharp and I'm glad they put some effort into the reveal. I was one who kind of advocated for numbers on the side but now that I'm looking at them I'm not sure I like it. Maybe the look will grow on me over time though. Or perhaps just have a blank side in the future a la the Pittsburgh Steelers. 1 Quote

This is new and different. I like it. Quote
Hambone Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Might go as far to say I LOVE the look. Maybe it's that I had such low expectations, but really like this. 2 1 Quote
geaux_sioux Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Finally they do something right. The video was decent. The logo on the helmet is perfectly sized and placed. It looks 10x better than I thought and I thought it would be pretty good. 3 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 I do like the look of the numbering holding to the font package for the new wordmarks. Anyone else notice that rather than trying to make a logo sticker with the correct green to match the helmet they went with a clear sticker in the "green" areas to let the helmet color pass through. The color looks different in the "N" and "D" (and yes it's an N and a D) because of the gloss of the sticker. I like it: it's enough contrast without being the wrong shade of green. 2 Quote
