Popular Post Siouxphan27 Posted June 27, 2019 Popular Post Posted June 27, 2019 I view the preservation of the logos in the building as a sort of homage to Ralph. When someone comes up with a spreadsheet that explains how a lamp being on the bottom of a scoreboard is having a negative effect on the financial situation of UND, or the competitive ability of the UND athletic teams, I'll consider joining those who seemingly won't be satisfied until every seat in the building is obstructed view due to a hawk logo being in your sightline. Until then, let's find something else to complain about. 3 8 Quote

Frozen4sioux Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Jeeebuzz fark...... Can we just talk about our magnificently large and in no way overcompensating scoreboard instead of heading back to the NCAA/SBoHE/PatheticUNDLeadership debacle process discussion.... Its massive, I cant wait to see it in person, the old lamp is awkwardly hidden and a bit out of place, so what. It takes zero dollars away from anything else. Get over it. 2 Quote

Taz Boy Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Hey Everybodys! What a great gift for UND and fans of Fighting Sioux Hockey!! From a quick read, it's no surprise to me that all the forum folks are strongly behind the new scoreboard and especially the retention of the glorious Fighting Sioux fixture in its traditional center-hung location. And, I think we can all agree how important tradition is, especially preserving it for the University's premier sports program- Men's Ice Hockey. Furthermore, It's equally apparent that everyone continues to be embarrassed by the sight of the cartoonishly awful USPS er, "Hawk" logo, and are thankful it's relegated to a simple icon, occupying only the minimal percentage of that gorgeous high resolution display. But, I must implore you all to please try to move forward, and embrace the new traditions that are to come with as little recognition as possible for that train wreck of a millennial safe-space gender mis-identified peace dove. Go REA Big Screen and Go Sioux!! taz 5 3 Quote

When they were down during a game last yr, I tweeted the REA about it and was told they had been removed for another event...the circus or something that had just been there. Quote

So if they toss up the historical logos, that would be both appropriate and accurate. The Brein logo is the best, and most unique but it wont be up there.. sucks not because of the logo but because that era had so many unbelievably talented teams that didnt complete the mission... oh well. Conference Championship banners will have to do. There are a few others Brein logos we have to embrace throughout the arena... Quote

I can tell you for a fact that Ralph Engelstad himself wanted the Ben Brien logo on all of the national championship banners and that it was a demand, not a request. Would you like me to resurrect the thread I started several years ago about correcting the banners and making them historically accurate? If this is indeed being done, it is LONG overdue. Quote
