UND1983 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I just don't understand why they are so obsessed with the old nickname. Even some players that recently graduated put "Fighting Sioux Alumni" in their Twitter profile. They never played under the name. That's poser sh*t, similar to how they posed as D1 hockey players the last two years. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. To be fair, back then, there wasn’t social media. And not everyone was a keyboard warrior like they are nowadays. Seemed like people just kinda went along with things more then, than they do now.

I thought the same thing. Show some leadership. As much as we would love to still be the Fighting Sioux - it ain't coming back. It does show how much the sports world differs from corporate America. Corporations make painful decisions all the time that aren't necessarily popular with the employees but leaders are expected to find a way to support them. You wouldn't last long in a leadership position in many corporations while openly subverting decisions the organization has made. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not, it would be a childish move. I see more and more Fighting Hawk hockey players (2015-present) putting Fighting Sioux alumni or Fighting Sioux with their number in their twitter profile. What are they trying to accomplish besides wishful thinking. Unless they played in 2012 you aren’t a Fighting Sioux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berry likes to live in the past with the name, he puts Fighting Sioux hockey in the minds of his players. Must be interesting for kids from outside the area (like Europe) who think the school is the Fighting Hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of triggered... it's comical how predictable the responses to any tweet about the new scoreboard are. Everyone has to chime in that the Sioux head that very few people can see must stay, even if it causes problems with the internal monitors the team would use. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never have I said a word about the Sioux lamp. Quite honestly I dont know how or why it fits with the new scoreboard. I guess I dont even think it fits with the spirit of the legal agreement, but hey what do I know. Seems like a different location would be better to preserve the history. Maybe on the side wall in the bars or incorporated in some other way into the ice level areas.... Maybe the ceiling of the hallway from REA to Olympic?

Popular Post Cratter Posted May 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2019 The Miami Redhawks have a trademarked and copyrighted name of The Brotherhood owned solely by the hockey team. They claim: Quote “It’s a culture of committed, honest brothers who can rely on each other in all situations — on the ice, at school, pretty much any situation — you can call someone if you need anything,” If the UND hockey team wants to have the same thing informally known as the Sioux, I'm not going to cry about inclusiveness. I'm not going to cry if a former Fighting Sioux hockey player has a fun poke at the current nickname he probably doesn't like. I'm not going to cry about a former Fighting Sioux hockey player and current coach clicking a like button on a website. I'm going to realize there will always be people that complain about people who "can't move on." I'm going to realize there will always be people who don't want to move on. I can accept both for who they are. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you're better than other people, as you just pointed out. The issue is that the CURRENT hockey team & their media are openly working against their own athletic department, the same athletic department that has the unwanted, monumental task of incorporating a new nickname/logo after losing possibly the best logo ever. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
