BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Heard like a year back, many from the GOBC say they and their friends will drop their season MH tickets if/after the Hawk's logo shows up at center ice. Instead of The Ralph and President Kennedy calling their bluff, they prolong the issue, trying the appease the fans in a way to keep the season tickets a sell out. Kind of a balancing act. This keeps most (on both sides of the logo issue) a little irritated, but not enough to walk away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they would do is free up hockey tickets for the next person in line and make the GOBC big-timers sad every weekend because they have to watch it on TV and not be a big wheel walking around the REA. Hollow threat because there is zero percent chance they would do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise bring the logo to center ice, why wait??? There has to be a reason why they are dragging their feet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darell1976 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 1 hour ago, SiouxScore said: For those saying the Hawk logo is on the ice for regionals but not at REA there is a difference there. The hawk logo isn't at center ice for regionals like it would be at REA. They put a NCAA logo at center ice and the host schools logo in the neutral zone which is much smaller than it would be at center ice. I hate the name change and will never refer to the university as hawks but even putting that aside I really think part of why the logo won't be at center ice is the really logo looks terrible when it isn't smaller. Either way I'm glad whoever makes the decision is just going with North Dakota at center ice and from what I've heard many with the hockey program are very happy with the decision as well. So would that be Brad Berry, and Jody Hodgson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub27 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 There's at least handful of schools or pro teams that use negative white space in their logo at center ice: And again, it looks just fine on the mock-ups the Sioux Shop already sells: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours looks like we were trying to paint ND and ran out of paint. Unless you outline the hawk which would look silly. We shall see, next year.

WiSioux Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 As a side note, can anyone find other logos that do not fit inside the center ice circle? I would like to see additional examples of that. Or do we condense the logo to fit inside the circle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darell1976 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 There is nothing wrong with our new logo on the ice. Also the NCAA has 2 logos that are white on the ice and they don't blend into the ice. Our logo would look nice and fit inside the circle just like the interlocking ND did last year and the Sioux logo prior to that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel_Sioux Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Sadly I haven't been able to attend a game in person since the new name was adopted (Texas is pretty far away), so I can't comment much on how persistent the booing is (although I could occasionally hear it on the TV), or which teams have fostered the best environment, but in terms of support, I'm pretty sure the athletes are smart enough to realize that fans are booing the name, not them or their performance. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
