I'm in the 'show me some real numbers' camp as well. I am sure sales of gear of the Stanford Cardinals weren’t that great the year after they changed their name but look at their sales now. They have been the Cardinals since 1981. How much Redskin gear is at GFC games? After a 23 year name change Knights gear is seen everywhere. We are on year two of the nickname and year one of the logo, still have a long ways to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're kidding me, right? This kind of backs up the point that nicknames and logos matter, no? They've been the "Cardinal" for like 40 years and yet a sports fan STILL hase no clue about their nickname. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there is no plural form of Cardinal? I know the school’s nickname was from the school’s color and not the bird, I didn’t know they don’t use any plural forms.

The Sicatoka Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Fetch, Fetch, Fetch, first the eyes go, then the mind, so I'll be kind to a guy already two strikes down. That is a White Hawk. Most White Hawks have some black coloring in the face and wings. However, that image specifically is of the subspecies 'ghiesbreghti'. That particular subspecies has lost nearly all other coloring and is thus completely white. I picked that picture when I heard that with UND's new logo, no matter the color schema, the hawk portion will be white. So, Fetch, you bring your "little white dove": my avatar, one of the largest varieties of hawks, is hungry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For myself, I bought a new banner for my office in the new North Dakota font and cut off the FH logo and FH letters on the bottom. I'm in the North Dakota only camp as mentioned above by SiouxForever. Lol that’s awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darell1976 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Nice to see our logo displayed on ESPN, during the highlights of the UND/Gonzaga game. No Bison logo, no interlocking ND, just the Fighting Hawk logo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a surprisingly good way. It's quite vivid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this will be blasphemy in some quarters, but the Brien logo didn't work well in certain media due to its heavy detailing. Some of those included: small presentations (this is why they had to create the less detailed version that didn't include the feather signature, and that was still a busy version) rapid motion or flash-bys (on TV where the lead into or out of replay) the small, small logo they use on on-screen TV scoreboards Sometimes less is more, and simpler is better. You may burn me at the stake now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
