Nodak is a fun way to refer to the University of North Dakota, or anyone really that is from or lives in North Dakota.  But it is not our nickname.  If it ws as popular as people think, people would have voted for it when the nickname voting took place.  It was the 3rd best name out of a group of 5 not so great options.  Istead of perpetuating the 3rd place nickmname, how bout promiting the current name on jerseys.

Not a fan of all things Hawks but agree that it’s crazy that NODAK is being used by the hockey team.  Can the basketball team just pick a name they like, say ThUNDer?  Football start wearing jerseys with Flickertail on them next year?  I’d be interested in knowing Chaves’ position on all this.

Yes they can, and we can all hope they do.

Chaves likely just has the 3 people who complain about it simply on spam filter at this point.

Love the ability to vote with my wallet.

The consumer vote is, after all,all that matters.

I vote with my wallet and I make sure I purchase officially licensed goods and goods where UND owns the trademarks.

That calm, measured-analysis approach shall not be tolerated here. ;)

You missed a step. This is when you show a picture of a jersey modified to use retired, obsolete logos.

Oh yea. Where I took a seam ripper to swap logos out on the $400 authentic jersey I just bought.

Because almost no one wants a jersey with the current nickname.

I (and I know of others) have jerseys with the current nickname, are we "no one"? The people that don't want it are the ones who are unwilling to move on and don't truly support the program. They would rather buy counterfeit products that don't support anything but cheap Chinese child labor, than buy something authentic that supports the hockey program and school.

Please show me the authentic team jersey with the nickname on it.

Not the logo patch.

The alphanumeric spelled out words. 

I'll hang up and listen.
