Teeder11 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 It will be "North Dakota" at center court at the Betty, as has been mentioned on here by others already. But that was a side issue, and not the main issue of the most recent meeting. Of greater concern were the contractual arrangements (that JDub27 has done a nice job elaborating on) between UND and REA. The outcome on those discussions will be harder to discern and sort out by those of us scoring at home. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Court looks good. Looks like they were able to bring out the grain of the wood a bit more than it was too, which is almost always a plus IMO. Quote
petey23 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Seeing the actual layout when finished actually makes me like this even better than the interlocking UND at center court. If we have highlights that make ESPN or National Sports coverage(like Geno breaking some kids ankles) it lets people know who we are right away. Putting the logo at center court would not accomplish that and having the full name "Fighting Hawks" with the logo on the ends also helps with identity. Looks good! 2 Quote

Looks good! They will still refer to us as "North Dakota State" or the "Bison" but I get your greater point. Quote

In general, most individual top plays aren't going to show your center court logo unless it's an end to end type thing. Having North Dakota on the ends would have been better if that's the goal. 1 Quote
Popular Post Siouxperman8 Posted June 1, 2018 Popular Post Posted June 1, 2018 The floor looks great. My only contention is that if UND (which includes the coaches, AD and president) agreed on a design, that is what we should have. Whether it ends up being right or wrong, they should still have that say. 5 Quote

Some yes but at least in regards to the the usage agreements, some of the changes would eventually come out through UND's financial statements (or much sooner if someone wanted to do a FOIA request......). Regardless, I'm sure there was a variety of topics covered and it's nice to see that everyone has "made nice" for now. Hopefully KEM's scheduled interview with Chris Berg next week doesn't rock the boat. Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Comparing it to the old court, it is definitely an upgrade. The green color especially is much better and closer to our official school color green. Quote
ChrisUND1 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Court looks great. Incredible upgrade from the previous paint job. (and the wood-grain looks much better) 1 Quote

nodak651 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I like that the new floor isn't so yellow. Maybe that happens over time? Regardless, it looks pretty good IMO, even though I support the hawk in the center. The shaded area inside the three point line are a nice touch. As to negotiations, I think it was easy for Kennedy to concede, it was a gesture of good will, and his real priority is in negotiating the new contract. No need to push too hard on this while the contract is still in play. Especially since they clearly already had the stencils, and the contractors were just waiting for the OK to start. 1 Quote
nodak651 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I also like the brighter green. They seem to be moving away from the darker green in everything. It's the same color as the football helmets. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Looking at the dates in the upper left corner of the video, the floor was redone before the meeting even occurred. REA with the middle finger. Quote

Did you have that opinion in 2001 when the Sioux logo was at center ice? Associating the new logo with UND is a process. And UND gets that. This is a first step. the logo is on the court as well as the name. When it comes to the REA and the Fighting Hawks name and logo........ 2 1 Quote
WiSioux Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Did it look like one poor guy did all that work himself??? Quote
the green team Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Actually, setting aside what is put at center court. The only thing I don’t like is the permanent Volleyball lines. I like VB at UND and go to some matches but actually don’t see VB lines on too many D1 basketball courts. Makes UND seem a little small. High Schoolish even. I think programs that utilize venues for both BB & VB they tape lines down for matches so the lines are removable. Just my humble opinion. Quote

As I said before. for me I look at the floor or ice or turf initially when their is a new design and after that I don't really pay attention. As far as the Sioux logo vs. The hawk logo, big difference in recognition there and with the non ice sports the Hawk logo will likely not ever have national recognition just due to us being a small fish in the big NCAA pond in those sports. 1 1 Quote
