The hockey coaches over the years have been supportive of the other coaches and programs. Their focus needs to be on hockey. Same with our other coaches and their sports. Who gives a rats behind about the logo? The old one is fine, the new one is fine and the new mascot is fine. If your support for your athletic team or your happiness is dependent on the logos and who wears what, then I feel sorry for you. Who cares what emblem a coach wears? Having been around UND athletics for quite some time in different roles, I can tell you that never once was the logo or name an issue when teams and athletes competed. We really didn't discuss it. I think of the logo now as I have all along: It isn't an issue for me one way or another, never has been. Wear what you wish and don't worry about what someone else wears including players and coaches. Otherwise, you waste a lot of emotional energy over nothing. Expand Down Vote Darrell is in the House!

Siouxperfan7 Posted September 28, 2018 Author Posted September 28, 2018 I apologize for digging up an old topic. Was just annoyed again watching the NCHC media day and seeing Berry wearing yet another "North Dakota Hockey" shirt. I realize that it shouldn't bother me, and others, so much. But it does. In a time where UND is spending thousands of dollars on marketing the new logo and brand, you have the coach of the most prominent program at UND and in the college hockey world not on board with the change. And maybe it's not even his decision. who knows. Maybe its the decision of the Athletic Department or the President to not have the Fighting Hawks logo as prominent with the hockey program because the hockey fanbase isn't as receptive to the name and logo as others. either way, it's unfortunate. 1 1 Quote
