You call the Fighting Hawks logo "the absolute worst hawk logo in the sports world" yet you buy merchandise and clothing with the logo on it and wear it "across the country." ? I’m trying to move on so like many of you are harassing us to do. The hawks New Era 3930 hats I own are probably the most comfortable hats I own. Did I know random strangers would react this way to my hat? You think I should love this logo and have pride in it after my first hand experiences? The logo is a joke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBR Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Still think fighting hawks name is lame as their are numerous other schools with some variant of the same name, one in our own hockey conference. I would really like the logo were it not based on such an unimaginative nickname. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close. I think its not close either, however the one factor we are not taking into account is the intelligence, or lack thereof, of most fans of teams from Philadelphia 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still hate the logo, but by my experiences of the surroundings of the football game last weekend, tailgaiting and post game activities, it is impossible to say acceptance is not gaining. I talked with some people specifically about it in the Champs club tent, and some students while tailgating, and it was a kind of an embarrassed admittance that they hated it but... meh its what we got so it is what they wear. That's sad, and very telling about the state of UND athletics fans and supporters. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 So the outcry to have secondary logo started probably 2 minutes after the logo was announced. I was in the camp of not doing that immediately so that UND could work on it's brand identity and have just one logo. A secondary logo is likely going to happen. I propose they don't make something totally new but just tweak the current logo. The Hawk head in the ND is a unique look and I think it works. But maybe UND could utilize just the Hawk head with a green or black (even grey) background without the "ND" as a background. I especially think this type of logo would look great on the football helmets as you could have the hawk on both sides of the helmet facing forward. Just a thought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people/students don’t like the logo, but still want to support UND so they sparingly buy some of the hawk gear. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUND1 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 UND Bookstore has a lot of nice hawk gear. Huge apparel section there, including some nice kids stuff. Sioux Shop and Scheels have some, but not as nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a considerable improvement. Think Jets helmets, same gloss and kelly green shade. Same jerseys, substitute “North Dakota” for “New York”. Boom, done.

Unfortunately we will struggle until some real leadership steps up. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
