Take a look at the 2 "Ralph Engelstad Arena"s on each side. I'd say they're not quite symmetrical, specifically between the D of Engelstad and the A of Arena. Quote

Tell folks you're a fan of "North Dakota football" and you're bound to hear back "Yea, the Bison are awesome!" from anyone outside of the state. The football team definitely needs to market "Fighting Hawks" while the hockey team is well-known around the country already. That being said, the logos should definitely appear somewhere on the ice. 1 Quote

The logo is there; you just have to squint to see it since it doesn't show up very well on white. Thank you SME! 1 Quote

They !@#$ themselves when the jerseys came out, think what happens when UND takes control of the building. They will torch the place if they see a Hawk on the side of the REA. 1 2 Quote

If any so called boycotters want to give up their season tickets, ill take a couple. That's one thing I don't get, is the REA afraid a lot of people will quit buying tickets if they put a Hawk on the ice or on the building? There is more than enough that will take their place. Over 11,000 people are going to watch the Fighting Hawks with their logo on the building, on the helmets and being sold at their shop on Potato Bowl Day and I bet only 1/4th or less will be screaming Go Sioux or wearing Sioux gear. So a logo/name is not going to slow down what winning has done to the Alerus. 1 3 Quote

streetsahead Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 I finally gave in and picked up this 1/4 zip at the Sioux Shop the other day along with this sweatshirt for my wife. If the players can wear it, so can we. Go Hawks. 3 Quote

Tweeting those pictures not only sans logo but with the interlocking ND right overhead was a deliberate poke in UND's eye and elicited an entirely predictable response from fans on both sides. What I want to know is, where are the grown ups in all of this? 1 1 Quote
