We went from the best to worst literally, so the contrast is just huge and hard to stomach as a die hard haha. Back whenever, I told @PCM that even if we end up driving a Jaguar F-type we'd still be looking at the no longer street legal Lamborghini on blocks in the garage. Personally, I painted the windows black and locked the garage and threw away the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUND1 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Even if apparel sales are truly down (go out and buy some stuff and support UND, by the way), UND is doing just fine. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/und-foundation-records-second-highest-fundraising-total-ever-in-fiscal-year-2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been for decades. I have Fighting Hawks sweatshirts, t shirts, quarterzips, hats, etc. Same applies for thousands of UND fans. "Most" is a pretty agressive (and vague) number. There is plenty of Fighting HAwks gear around. Attend a game outside the Ralph and you will see that. Yes, you are right that Hawks gear is worn at non-hockey sporting events. Big deal. You rarely see it around town. This used to feel like a Sioux Town. It is not a Hawks town or a Sioux Town anymore. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would lessen the pain of losing a Lamborghini to then drive a Jaguar over a Ford Focus……… we at best have a Honda Civic 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that works more than a hockey shoulder patch, FB helmet, or flag, because as was said then, this logo feels more "secondary" than primary. But it works for now given how it came into the world and what it had to work with.

Popular Post Lovell Posted August 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2022 I'm no artist but I always thought they could repurpose the old geometric Sioux head into something that looks like a hawks head. It might be more well received rather than "Mike's" mascot head logo. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxForever Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I’ll donate money right now for new logo voted by the students and alumni. That fundraiser is one I can get behind. If an independent logo funds was started, do you think the university shuts it down? Serious question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post und1995 Posted August 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2022 To think this all could have been avoided if they let the top choice North Dakota be selected. I think after a while a nickname could have been chosen instead of being forced on the University so soon after retiring the Sioux nickname and logo. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
