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. :p (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.

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.

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.

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 :p

Think we could Deano back to be its Head Coach??

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.

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!!

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.

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. :D

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.
