New rivalry game name

[Hawk E]

The Nickle Trophy is made of Plaster of Paris, hard but fragile and subject to water damage.  It should stay in the museum where it's protected.

Plaster casts were hauled to a St. Paul, MN foundry where plaster copies were recast in an aluminum alloy. The halves were welded together to make the finished piece.

The Nickel, at 250 times larger than a regular five-cent piece, weighs 75 pounds and is 2 inches thick and 22 inches in diameter.

First awarded in 1938.

How about a flagship?  Like as in flagship U... both schools claim it.

I got a phone call from some of the higher ups in legislature last night. They don’t want the Nicole back but would like a new rivalry game

 

lets make suggestions here so I can report back

 

inam thinking BEET OFF in honor of sugar beets. A big help to our economy and we each have crystal subrars in our metro area 

Red River Rivalry with a Steamboat or a Ship's Wheel for the trophy.

Or a stuffed Catfish!

[90siouxfan]

or a dinosaur egg

[Nodak78]

I'm think more of a drone(fighting Hawk) carrying a bison.  Just a thought.

[90siouxfan]

wonder if a drone fashioned into a hawk buzzing around games would be allowed?

[gfhockey]

So know one likes beet off ?

A flag with the colors and logos of each university on opposite sides

Red River Trophy.

If you were going with this....I'd do something like Red River Rock, and have a rock or something.  Trophy sounds too vanilla.   Although I'm with others, my first choice would be to refashion the nickel with a Hawk on one side. 

[nodakvindy]

I like the quirky awards (little brown jug, keg of nails, etc.) vs an actual trophy. I think a snow shovel would be cool. Paint the blade in each team's colors. Its definitely representative of North Dakota and not as regional as a badlands or red river theme.

I've got it!  The Red River Rivalry!!!!!!  Nobody will ever think of tha.....

Ohhh.....I'll leave.

We are dealing with "hook em horns". Not sure how important originality is here.

I keep telling my older brother that they copied Texas but he's a bandwagon fan so it doesn't seem to bother him.

I like refashioning the mickle and I know this is a ND thing but in MN we are still under the “rocks and cows” statement.

Everyone knows the nickel and I would think gender neutral animals would not be offensive!

I’ve never like NDSU’s use of that hand signal.

I remember when NDSU beat Oklahoma in the NCAA basketball tourney and Saul Phillips used the horns after the game toward the ndsu fans, the Oklahoma fans were extra pissed because they thought he was adding insult to injury and using the hand signal of their rival.
