Hayduke Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I bought a Fighting Hawks hat today in Fargo. It had a nice fit and I liked it. Why not? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence no Fighting Hawks logo as that’s for Athletics usage. The fact they are showcasing their UND promotional work on their page is a win. It may be the only time some are exposed to UND in any way.

Siouxperfan7 Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 UND really missed a great opportunity to have a great nickname and logo by eliminating "Abdominal Snowman" from its nicknames under consideration. The Minnesota Lakes Area "Snowman" of the Midwest Premier Football League (the league the Tri City Northstars play in) have provided a glimpse of what a logo would have looked like. Oh what could have been!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 New Hawk logo to compare our too. The XFL's Battlehawks. I'll leave it up to debate whether it is better or worse than ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darell1976 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Helped my son move into his dorm, and saw lots of new Fighting Hawks students and parents with all types of Hawk shirts on. I see the picture of the class of 2023 they did at Memorial Stadium had the mascot pic on their shirt, could that be an alternate Hawk logo of the near future? Maybe they will start to market that more and more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pontoonin Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 On 5/16/2019 at 10:49 AM, darell1976 said: 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. But The school went from Pride to Knights. Nice upgrade. Not Sioux to generic Hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wahpeton Wops DL Satans As a student at RRHS at the time, even we felt bad for that awful mascot. "Go maroon and grey, go go maroon and grey" was an actual cheer promoted by the GFC cheer team. Just awful!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
