I would like to see them try something like this, though no doubt the hordes of PC worthless studies majors that infest most campuses would throw a shitfit screaming about cultural appropriation because the design looks too native, cause god forbid anyone's sensibilities should be hurt.

ArchyAlum11 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Actually, its based on the Plains Indians Symbol for the Thunder Bird, the Birds that would often be seen prior to a storm. But Hey I guess Godwin's law still applies. Still, why worry anymore, anyone who right of Marx is seen as a Nazi these days so may as well just use the Nazi eagle anyways. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxperfan7 Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 A secondary logo may sound good initially, but in reality you are just creating another Fighting Hawks logo that people are going to bitch about. If you haven't accepted the Fighting Hawks name and logo by now, a new logo certainly isn't going to change your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This from the guy calling our logo a postal Hawk. You see the USPS logo in our logo we see the Nazi War Eagle in the one you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchyAlum11 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 major difference - one was designed by a professional firm that took $50,000 for a logo that bore a striking to a distinct existing logo, the other was done by a fan for shits and giggles which bears a tangential resemblance to the Nazi eagle, but would also bear the same general resemblance to the US eagle, Prussian eagle, Russian eagle, polish eagle.... the list goes on. That said nice job going the Nazi reference, that's what to goofer fans were doing after the f'hawks name won the lottery. Although... adopting the nazi eagle symbol would piss off all the gender, ethnic, and Starbucks studies majors that make up the future Starbucks workforce, who knows maybe they'll transfer out of UND and we can actually enjoy our university again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be out of bounds here, but I don't think an eagle logo is the best way to go for the Fighting Hawks!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on now, slow down. I thought we were going to wait 10 years to prove we need a better logo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDBIZ Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 So those don't resemble each other at all, but the current logo looks just like the USPS logo. Got it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG, can you imagine the s-storm if they did retire the current logo and came out with a new F'NHawks logo? Oh boy. Holy Cow. On a more positive note. Scheels had Fighting Hawks gear reasonable cheap last time I was in there to buy some pedals for my Trek. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
