SiouxMeNow Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Maybe I'm out of my element here, but what the Hell is a Grundelwart and/or Stingring??? the result of a couple TOO many barley pops! Signed, The Voice of Experience Quote
BigGame Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Dakota Devil Dogs but I also like the Norsemen or even just the Vikings Quote

redwing77 Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Dakota Devil Dogs but I also like the Norsemen or even just the Vikings Nope. Devil anything won't work in ND. The Devils Lake community will make you change the name to the Dakota Fighting Donuts or the Saints or something like that. (Reference: DL's high school mascot) Seriously though, why are we considering this? There isn't the need for a pro team here. No market really. Quote
MafiaMan Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Even thought it's a blatant rip-off of the Brandon Wheat Kings, I must admit, the Dakota Sugar Kings does have a nice ring to it. Quote
dakotadan Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 I have to say that I like GreenBayGuy's idea of Dakota Flood. I also like MafiaMan's Norskies. That is a name some of us had talked about in 2000 when the big sioux issue was going on. Go with a scandinavian/viking theme. And I am 100% norwegian and I will be the first to testify that I will not be insulted. Quote
soSIOUXme Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 I like Bubz idea -- Dakota BlackIce with a nasty looking black icicle logo Dangerous, Can't see it till you hit it or in this case it hits you! Quote
bigmrg74 Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 the result of a couple TOO many barley pops! Signed, The Voice of Experience That didn't answer my question, and google turned up nothing for it, not even some goofyassed page thats all in norwegian or something else that I can't read. Quote
choyt3 Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Seriously though, why are we considering this? There isn't the need for a pro team here. No market really. If North Dakota ever had a professional hockey team what do you think their name would be? I'm doing a project for my senior portfolio and part of my project is to design a new logo, t-shirts, ticket-stubs, etc... fir the team name. Any ideas? No Native American names please. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 What would one call a North Dakota professional hockey team? How about "Stanley Cup Champions"? Quote
morley Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 How about the: Dakota Prairie Dogs?? ND Flickers Dakota Prairie Fires Dakota Glaciers Since everyone thinks we are part of Canada, Dakota Canucks Dakota Canadians would work better if these two teams didn't exist already Think we could Deano back to be its Head Coach?? Quote
dakotadan Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 Dakota Prairie Dogs!!! Dakota Praire Dogs!!! Dakota Prairie Dogs!!! Dakota Prairie Dogs!!! Quote
dakotadan Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 I have to say that I love the prarie dogs. It is a north dakota version of the gophers. I should love the GOPHER idea considering that it was my high school mascot, Grenora Gophers (ND). But prarie dogs is an origional idea that fits ND perfect. I say either Norskies or Prarie Dogs!!!! Those would by my two choices if UND was going to change it's nickname. If it was going towards UND I would have to say Norskies! 1.UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING NORSKIES!!!!!!!!!! 2. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA PRARIE DOGS! there are alot of logos that would work with that. Quote
Jordan_Parise_FREAK! Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 I like Bubz idea -- Dakota BlackIce That does sound pretty good, actually. Or I like the idea of North Dakota Chill. Quote
siouxfan1 Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 I think the team would be or should be named, Icebergs!! With a logo of a Iceberg on the Jersey! Just a thought! Go Sioux!!! Quote
jerseychaser1 Posted September 23, 2004 Author Posted September 23, 2004 We don't really have any ice bergs in North Dakota. Just during the winter time when the snow plows like to make huge piles of snow somewhere in a huge parking lot. Quote
BinaIsGod Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 How about the North Dakota Zephyrs...I've always thought that would be a great name for a hockey team. It plays on our propensity for a lot of wind here...and shows a fluidity, a smooth flow on the ice. Quote
BigGame Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Dakota Dirty Snow Piles - We seem to have a lot of those around in the winter or maybe the Dakota Blizzard, Dakota Chill, Dakota Pike, Dakota Tractors Quote
Blackheart Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Here's a couple.... 1) ND Conservative Scandinavians 2) Snerts 3) Flatlanders 4) Frozen Tundra 5) Shelter Belters 6) North Stars (sounds familiar?) 7) Giant Fiascos....it really couldn't work, could it? I'm a native North Dakotan trapped in hockey wasteland (Twin Cities) so please have mercy on me!! Quote
dakotadan Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 How about the North Dakota Zephyrs...I've always thought that would be a great name for a hockey team. It plays on our propensity for a lot of wind here...and shows a fluidity, a smooth flow on the ice. My home town is Zahl, ND. Back when it had a school its mascot was the zephyrs. By the way, ND has a professional hockey team. It is called the North Dakota Fighting Sioux. Oh wait, I think that is SUPPOSED to be a college team. Quote
MafiaMan Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Wow. I thought I knew of all the small-town NoDak schools, but I'll admit...I'm looking up Zahl right now on www.mapquest.com. North of Williston....hmnnn...you must be familiar with the Epping Eagles, then, dakotaboy? Aren't they North Dakota's Hoosiers? How about the Dakota Nimrods? Oh wait...that one's already taken.

jerseychaser1 Posted September 29, 2004 Author Posted September 29, 2004 I would like to know what a Snert is. Quote
soSIOUXme Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 I would like to know what a Snert is. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Snert-- everyone's favorite snow and dirt cocktail! although I always thought it was spelled snirt. Quote
sprig Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 My home town is Zahl, ND. Back when it had a school its mascot was the zephyrs. Lake Zahl National Wildlife Refuge, right next to Zahl. Quote
