So probably not something similar to this hawk with HH in the background? Guess I will just lean on MM and petey for this one.

If this was added to the fleece hats, I’d definitely order one.

Wonder what their logo will look like, and which consultant group they pay to come up with it.

Let them use that Ben Brain logo.

I just got off the phone with descendants of every roughrider from north Dakota who went to Cuba with TR, asking if they would be interested in donating to this library.  Both families said no thanks.

And they're reimbursing Dickinson $300K to boot.  

Imagine the logo UND could have come up with if an additional $220K had been kicked in...

This fall Grand Forks Central will start the school year with the nickname Knights for the 25th year. 25 years ago me, and other students voted Knights over Pride to become Central’s new nickname to start the fall of 1994. Today you don’t hear Redskins being cheered for at games, no talk of Redskins Forever on social media. So will UND be the same in 25 years from the inaugural Fighting Hawks intro in 2015? Will the division subside? Will it take less/more time to be a united campus under the Fighting Hawks name? I guess time will tell.

Eventually, I think so. Just look at how many schools have changed nicknames that seem to be " thought what they were always called"

I think the nickname committee made a huge mistake letting any of the nickname finalists have Fighting in the name

The only school I see that hasn’t embraced their name change in a major way (besides UND) is Marquette. Even Illinois is trying somehow to get the Chief back.

I can see it though as someway to keep part of the old name plus no one else has Fighting Hawks in DI. But I remember the hatred of the GF School Board people had when they announced the name was going to go. Larry Humble led the Redskins Forever effort. I bought Redskins gear from the school store before the change to hold onto the name before it was gone. I graduated as a Maroon and Grey as we were in the “cooling off period” (sound familiar). Knights was picked cause it was in the school song, no one cared if anyone else had the name locally (I heard Fisher has the same name). And to think that all started almost 30 years ago (1991), and yet Central is still winning titles as the Knights, and didn’t let a nickname/logo divide it’s students and be a talking point whether it’s social media, regular media, or word of mouth like UND and it’s nickname issue still is 7 years post Sioux.
