Fighting Sioux 23 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 3 hours ago, NDinCO said: No banner. But make a display case type-thing in the hallway somewhere to acknowledge the great team, the 'what if', and to document the historic nature of these crazy times we live in. Would be interesting reading 50 years from now. I really like this idea. Putting up a banner and treating it anything like a national title is something that Minnesota would do (and does...see their 1940 "National Champions" banner). This team deserves to be permanently recognized, but not with a national championship banner. We're better than that. I feel terribly for the kids on this year's squad that they weren't given the chance to hang a green banner. But give them a permanent display to acknowledge what they did was special.

Would honor the conference championship and differentiate it from the others. “Unfinished business” for the guys in the business suits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcblues Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 How about a "Ghost Banner"? Like a natty banner but in shades of grey? What could have (should have) been..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen4sioux Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Seriously.... Stepping away from the OBVIOUS tounge in cheek coping mechanism this thread is.... Some type of "Black" or "grey" acknwledment of the 2020 season DOES belong somewhere in the REA, No not amongst the Green Ones.... but somewhere... maybe not the ceiling .... and not thinking about the next ten years but decades down the line.... "Grandpa... Whats that black one with 2020 mean?" ...... That tells a story, that tells a legend, that may lead to lessons about a lot of other things that are happening now and that our kids kids can hopefully learn from.

brianvf Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I agree about putting a plaque or something like that in the lobby or in the concourse instead of a banner from the rafters. The plaque could briefly talk about how great this team was in the history of UND teams, and how they (and every other NCAA hockey team) was robbed of the chance to go for the national title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGHTNSX Hawkey14 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Some assorted thoughts: - I like the idea of a black conference champs banner - I also wouldn't mind if every team would hang a black banner that just says "2020" - The NCAA should establish a precedent for awarding the natty if the championship game can't be played in the future. - We were totally going to win :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Keep it simple. Hang a banner like this next to the retired numbers. Opposite side of the Championship banners. “Retired season”. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all had just as good a shot at winning the title. Yes, we were #1 in Pairwise but how has that played out in the tournament the past few years? We were #1 in faceoffs last year; I didn't see any Sioux fans walking around in their '19 shirts this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, the "black flag" diminishes their accomplishments. I hope someone from the siouxshop is reading this forum and sees how stupid these shirts are and they reevaluate what they did.

yzerman19 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 White makes sense, black I can live with, but It should read NCHC champion 2019- 2020 though, nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
