Lots of logo bashing on there even though the next banner raised will have the Hawks logo on it no matter how much they bitch and moan.

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.

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.

The are perpetuating the problem. I am not saying that we have to completely forget everything about UND being the Fighting Sioux (Kind of impossible if you walk into the Ralph). But by posting pictures players in the old logo, they are going against what the University is trying to do with their brand campaign to promoth the Fighting Hawks name and logo. UND does not own the Ralph, and the Ralph doesn't have to do everything UND says. But they still need to work together to do what is best for UND hockey and the University in general. And promoting the Fighting Hawks logo is a great way to do that. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 UND and REA could jointly be moving along very slowly to partailly appease most. A delicate job in balanceing the transition to the new logo. The hawk on the jerseys is another step in the transition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Shouldn't the logo be roped off so no one can "disrespect" it by walking on it? That N and D look SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better with a white outline! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you can't really blame current UND students for not knowing when all this controversy started. Heck, when the NCAA "hostile and abusive" list came out, current UND students were barely in grade school!! Unfortunately, the history of the entire controversy has been drawn out so long (even from just since 2005) that most have forgotten the details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 2012? 2012 started the controversy? No, August 5, 2005 (NCAA action). No, December 2000 (Ralph's letter). No, 1993 (different jerseys under Baker). No, circa 1987 (Ralph controversies). No, circa 1973 (homecoming parade float). Dear UND students of today: There is a 21st century today because there was a 20th century before it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWSiouxMN Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The rebrand... well I am seeing more and more UND signs down here in the Twin Cities, so I think its money well spend so far (with their new Leaders in Action slogan) The whining about new golf carts is comical, I mean what is UND going to do, not touch the money? The whole "UND can't spend any money to advertise (non-logo related) and stuff to actually improve the university" needs to stop. Its getting old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
