But doves don't have hooked beaks. And yeah, the ND shows up when you know it's North Dakota but then you can't unsee it. Don't like what we have? Make something better. But the old name and logo are never returning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSSD Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 That looks like a "N" and a "D". And the white blob in the middle with an eye is a "Hawk". Really? The new Yote, laps that hot mess.

90siouxfan Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Perhaps the trend by "know better than everyone" crowd is to transition to logos that are so lame that nobody can be offended... Or USD is thinking .... "Awww, poor UND with that crapball mess", lets join them in support... All eyes on Moo U for this change... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxForever Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Any talented graphic designers in here? I’d love to see some off-szn mockups of the Sioux head logo on a new jersey design template circa 2001. C’mon now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have made better hawk logos but we are still using this uninspiring logo. Do people see that logo and automatically think awe that’s a hawk and not a dove because of the beak? Uh no….. our merchandise would probably sell much better if we reimagined our logo, it’s not even average. I’m tired of strangers confusing my fighting hawks gear for the Philadelphia Eagles! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Paw is USD's primary logo and has strong support. That will be around for a very long time. This new thing is the secondary logo replacing the coyote standing on top of the words South Dakota. Personally, not a fan, and reaction has been split, but it is still only a secondary logo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSSD Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Interest read from Matt Brown today. https://www.extrapointsmb.com/p/actually-college-sports-needs-space-oxen I think he touches on why I think the "Hawk" is such a disaster. And why didn't UND lean into its history and promote successful areas of the school. Just one example could have been the aviation program. I remember numerous name recommendations in the area. But, we ended up with the "Hawks". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am recalling correctly, there was a set of criteria that had to be met for names that got forwarded to the voting phase. One of the criteria was that it had to be unique to North Dakota. Had they followed the criteria, Hawks would have never made it. For my part, I still advocate for Northern Pike. It is the state fish. There are no major college teams with a fish as a mascot or logo. It is easily shortened to "Northerns" or "Pike". The logo opportunities are excellent. Etc.
