Seems like quiz time: Before Knights, GFC was: Before Huskies, Wahpeton was: Before Firebirds: Devils Lake was: Redskins, Wops, and Satans….those names still pop into my head first for all 3 schools Quote

"Go maroon and grey, go go maroon and grey" was an actual cheer promoted by the GFC cheer team. Just awful!! as opposed to Red River clap clap Red River clap clap Red River clap clap Red River clap clap 1 Quote

How is that him not trying to compete with the University of North Dakota? What other "choices" are you talking about Ben? Did you have a sudden passion for merchandising artwork you designed that coincidentally happens to be the same mascot as the University you previously designed a logo for that you are clearly disgruntled with for not getting your "fair share" of revenue from?! What a fraud. 1 2 Quote

Sioux>Bison Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Love the Bennett hawk logo. We should have hired him to do the new logo. I don’t think the NCAA would have had any problem with it. I also have no problem with him selling HIS logo and it’s our fault if our fans end up liking his logo better than ours. But unfortunately we are stuck with the absolute worst hawk logo in the sports world. Thanks Ed Schafer........ what a joke for what could have been........... im tired of traveling across the country wearing the F hawks logo and people mistaking it for the Philadelphia eagles.....

So let me get this straight. 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." ? 1 Quote
