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. So the opposite of how it was with fighting Sioux? 1 Quote

North Dakota in hockey helps differentiate the team from RedHawks and River Hawks. Fighting Hawks in football helps differentiate the team from North Dakota State. it's not that complicated. Quote

My point is that it does need to be either or. It can be both. And I wasn't insinuating anything. Just asking what you thought. Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Posted August 30, 2017 So with all this logo on the ice talk, I was curious about what the floor of the Betty would look like this year and if it would have the Fighting Hawks logo and new script. So, I contacted the Ralph. Here is what they said concerning the floor at the Betty; ________________________________________________________ The design of the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center floor has not been finalized yet. This project is scheduled to take place next summer. So for this season (volleyball and basketball) it will look the same as it did last year. Have a good day. Garth Wiedrich Marketing Manager Ralph Engelstad Arena One Ralph Engelstad Arena Drive Grand Forks, ND 58203 (P) 701.777.0833 www.theralph.com _______________________________________________________ So it looks like they will wait until next summer to repaint the floor with potentially the Fighting Hawks logo and new script. Most likely will have a Summit League logo as well. Quote

Can't wait to see those jewels side by side! 1 1 Quote
