I'm so < bleep > < bleep > < bleeping > glad that UND had a new nickname and logo before the feces festival, the crap carnival, the dung drama, the merde melee, called "the DAPL protests" happened. You have to know that if the nickname saga had still been going, UND would've been drug through the mud (and whatever else that was on the ground in those camps) by the media as more proof of how terrible the State of ND is. When I see the ND Hawk logo, ... "Hawks?"... , and meh, logo could've been better, but it's not bad, but more importantly to me at least ... I see the soap box kicked out from all the "habitually offended" nickname protesters and any leverage the Tribes may have ever had gone. (That second one, well, see above re: DAPL.) I would agree much as miss the old nickname and logo, and as bad as may find the new nickname and logo, UND did dodge a some major bad publictiy by not having the Fighting Sioux nickname with the DAPL drama in full swing.

It's in the past like Stanford was the Indians and Marquette was the Warriors. Last night it was all about being the Fighting Hawks. I think you are also forgeting that the basketball world really dosen't care about UND or the Smaller schools, in their eyes we are just padding to lengthen out the tournement. Quote

Every time UND played a major team in basketball prior to 2015, (k-state, Kansas, Wisconsin etc) they always mentioned the nickname issue until the Fighting Hawks was picked. Now you don't hear it anymore. Quote

All I'm saying is as of right now we still have a divided fan base, its going to take time for people to accept it. It might have been easier if the name had been more unquie like Nokota's or Roughriders, but that ship has sailed. The imaginary horse created out of badlands legend? My sister and locals in SW ND couldn't even believe that folks in the "big city" were buying that fairy tale. Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Posted March 21, 2017 The Fighting Hawks logo on the ice at Scheels arena. The logo looks good on the ice with a white background. Preview of things to come at center ice at the Ralph next year?!! 4 2 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 It looks really good there. I still like how it looks on the black polo shirts. Quote

Gotta love the ignorance of the NCAA that they choose a venue that displays the same logo that they banned. Those will be covered like the beer signs. Quote
