UNDBIZ Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Still think the current logo is best as a secondary logo, just replacing the interlocking ND. Both of these, with some tweaks to remove the "naughty" from the GS logo feathers, could be solid primary logos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to put it beside my authentic Ralph logo in my office that BB personally autographed for me. Honestly though, pretend you didn't know it was done by BB, you think that looks like a good logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
und1995 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 BB’s logo may not be the best but it sure beats the post office logo UND uses now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Initially I didn't see the Sioux silhouette on the right saide. I saw a failed attempt at making it look like an indian with a colorful headdress. A couple minor tweeks and you can see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of pulling out all the subtle stops he should have just made a good looking bird. He made that amazing welded rebar Hawk that ICON had on their homecoming float. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got rid of the "tear" look. Like it a lot more than that multicolored bird head that was a big reason the the Fighting Hawks won the nickname election.. As far as the Fighting Sioux face silhouette, think that’s a tribute with a dead/ghost person morphing into a Hawk so UND is moving forward and official recognition that that nickname is dead. It’s a nice way of paying respect to the past without ginning up the PC crowd. It’s a denial of artistry to denounce that silhouette. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One version of the current Hawk has kelly green ND, the other is black and white. The Indian head Brien is much like this one, green is hard to find. I'd I were new to ND football and BB and saw the recent uni's on the field/court, I'd assume our color was grey. Hockey is the only sport that still shows kelly green. With that said, I'm not a fan of the new Brien hawk, and much prefer the shuttlecock or totem pole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my major issue with it, the colors don't match up with the primary school colors at all. Trying to imagine that looking good on our current jerseys is pretty tough.

Oxbow6 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hit the Walmart in Bismarck Thursday night on way to Badlands to hunt. Was an older Native American couple both wearing sweatshirts with the Sioux logo there. In passing I commented on the sweatshirts. The gentleman smiled and tipped his hat......which was a cowboy hat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see lots of Sioux hats and coats at football and basketball as well, and new Hawk jerseys at hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new basketball jerseys with green letters on gray are awful. The dark ones they had last year were much better. Take my comment as a tongue and cheek remark about #siouxforever fans. I am with you on the green. We need more of it not less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The day that Brien's hawk logo came out I started tweaking on it. Here's what I came up with: Browned up the beak, much more green, but left the red and yellow to symbolize the same things that were symbolized on the Sioux head. Also added was a hockey jersey look. This is one of my earlier tweaks so still has more red in it. I didn't take the time to add "HAWKS" on it ala the old Sioux jerseys, but definitely would be a plus IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
