UND1981 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 2016-17 Champions Club stickers are without FH name or logo! Yes!! 2 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 What do I think? Well, you've already read that I'm so-so on the name but given that the logo exceeded my (admittedly low) expectations. What I will say is this: I do enjoy waking up every morning and not waiting for the other shoe to drop. It seemed there was always the next story, blog, article, opinion thrashing UND about the old nickname. That's gone. Tthe "advocacy journalists" now have to find some other group to harangue. 3 Quote

Hayduke Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I think I'll get a FH logo hat this week. I have to admit...it's growing on me. Quote

talksalot83 Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Still a solid "D." On merchandise it looks like like a green and white block with no definition. I do, however, like the typeface for text. That's about it, though. Quote

ArchyAlum11 Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 I will say this out of the options presented Rough Riders, Fighting Hawks, Nodak's, North Stars and Sundogs.. Fighting Hawks wasn't the worst possibility. Out of all the logo we could have gotten this isn't the worst either. That said I'm still not going to run out and buy any hawks stuff this second, but maybe when I need a new hat I'll get a fighting hawks hat. Quote

You didn't like Rough Riders because of no ND ties. I don't see a lot of silverbacks from Sterling or Steele. You'd have failed it just for that. 1 Quote

Only way I wouldn't have voted for it over the other choices, is if people started claiming gorillas from North Dakota fought in Cuba alongside New Yorker Teddy Roosevelt. 1 Quote

KoolGuy2K Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 I'm at the point where it's meh.... I don't hate it anymore. I might buy something if the shirt or hat looks good. But I still think they could have done better. Quote
Goon Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 I had to go to Scheels on Monday. I was chatting with one of the managers and I asked him if the Fighting Hawks merchandise was flying off of the shelves. His response was we're selling a lot of it. 1 Quote

I'm wearing mine at work today and getting a lot of positive comments. I purchased two long sleeved shirts (black with with green and white logo, the other green with white and black lettering.) I also got two caps (a white one and a green one)... all at the UND bookstore. 2 Quote

I think it's catching on. You see the new logo around town more and more. Quote
darell1976 Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 I just picked up my first Fighting Hawks logo shirt at Scheels in Fargo. Not too many different shirts with the logo. I think I saw more with the interlocking ND than with the Hawks logo. Quote
Old Time Hockey Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 I asked my 9 year old daughter if she wanted a new F'Hawks tshirt at Scheels the other day. She gave me the preteen, "you're an idiot, dad" look and said, "Ah.....No!" Guess it's not growing on her yet. 3 Quote
