petey23 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 If we had went with what the vast majority of what the students and alumni wanted, which was to move forward as "North Dakota" or "UND" we could at least be having this discussion now about whether "Moose" or something derived from the organic happening that happened to take place during Sioux/bison week would be worth exploring as a name and/or even just an athletics logo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
und1995 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Will never buy anything with the god awful Hawk logo but would consider something with the Fighting moose. At least that would be a unique name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you can find some to PRIVATELY fund it.... No The new Prez has other important fish to fry than to take this on. Beside, could you trust UND to try again after what happened the first time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, for the fans that hate the Fighting Hawks nickname you’re stuck with it. It’s not changing. Unless you’re willing to throw a big wad of cash towards the school 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90siouxfan Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 isn't it inevitable that the replacement with a so much loved name would be hated.... something to hate on until an organically driven symbol sashays across the field... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not "Sioux Forever" but I will never wear anything that prominently displays the lame Fighting Hawks name or logo. I would get behind the Fighting Moose in a New York minute. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not perfect, but it's about as close to sounding like Fighting Sioux as is possible with a nickname. Fighting Moose. Fighting Boobs, Fighting Noobs, Fighting Dudes....maybe there's others.
