They would boo the Fighting Hawks and chant Sioux Forever. But yet there was a giant fighting hawks flag and several students with smaller fighting hawks flags. Nodak nation hands them out before games, they did the same thing last year with the interlocking nd logo on the flags, some of the smaller flags didn't get waved and the students under the big flag obviously can't tell what's on it. 1 Quote

That's what I thought when I seen the big flag opened up, they got duped! Wonder what happens at the next game? I hope they still participate... Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Posted October 12, 2016 One thing I hope most of us can agree on is that at least UND didn't go with a goofy cartoon looking bird logo. Honestly, which would you rather have, our logo or Southern Utah's? 1 Quote

It's noticeable to me. When the whole arena had that going, it had some force and pop to it. Legitimately intimidating stuff. We haven't had that since some people stopped chanting Let's Go Sioux. Maybe we'll have to steal the Vikings new chant to regain some of that, haha. Largely agree with the bold, but I'll throw out one exception; 5 on 3 PK against St Cloud (McMillian broke his knee cap). The last minute, or so, of that PK was the loudest I've heard the Ralph in a loooong time! The chant of choice? LET'S GO SIOUX! 2 Quote
TBR Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 I disliked losing the FS name as much as anyone but I am not one to worry or fuss about something I have no control over. From a historical perspective the old teams, the 2001 Nat'l champion football team, the multiple-year championship hockey teams, the Phil Jackson BB teams will always be the FS. But Studsrud and Santiago and company are Fighting Hawks in my mind, as unimaginative as the name selection was. So is Boeser. I've moved on because there is no going back. I like the logo which somewhat mitigates the disastrous name selection. Quote

Not to get too poetic, but it felt like the crowd willed UND to clinch the Penrose Cup that year. Of course, it would've been nice to have Macmillan for the stretch run that year too. 1 Quote

Yes, better than the Brien logo. The center ice display never had the resolution to do justice to something so intricate as the Brien logo. The new logo looked clean and sharp. I finally seen what you are talking about in this post! I was looking at the score last weekend and the background just came into view to me, it was so weird, just like they just turned it on...to me anyway! Yes it does look cool! I see it all the time now! I just hope the jersey's look good next year, we shall see. Quote

His article proves that he knows nothing about UND and just wants to take a jab at UND for winning a NC in hockey. Quote

He said the F-n Hawks logo and brand is being forced fed to anyone and everyone that has anything to do with workings of UND athletics. brad berry on this list? Quote

Its really unfortunate that the mens hockey team isn't embracing the name name and logo like the other teams. Actually what is more disappointing is Faison not controlling the situation. You see other teams, football mainly so far, decked out in Fighting hawks gear. from their helmets to t shirts, to sweatsuits, etc. The hockey team still continues to avoid wearing or referencing the new name and logo at all costs. Still wearing the interlocking ND on all their stuff. The very least they could do would be to follow what the womens team is doing and put the logo on their helmet. But they can't even do that. It UND and the athletic department (Faison) want to get this logo out and visible, and move towards more people seeing it and accepting it, have the most high profile team at the school be using it as much as possible. 2 1 Quote

I understand the jerseys because they already ordered the ones for this year, but I agree why they couldn't add the logo to the helmets. When will the hawk screech enter the REA during game time? Lets play old time Fighting Hawk hockey (enter screech). 2 1 Quote
UND-1 Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 They actually have to order UND's football jerseys in November/December of the prior year. So I give the hockey team a pass on the jersey thing. It will come. Berry has been wearing the new gear just like the other coaches on campus. 1 Quote

SIOUXFAN97 Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 I think the hockey players when they skate to the blue line for intros should be required to look in to the camera and do the napoleon dynamite wing flutter thingy....and then the hawk screech! 1 Quote
