Siouxperfan7 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Looking at some of other "Dakota School" friends, I notice that they have secondary helmet options. SDSU is haveing a new one this week. Other Valley schools as well. Would be nice to see UND with a secondary helmet. I can't find the pic, but UND used to have a silver helmet with a stripe down the middle with a green ND on it. Something like that that is like a throwback to a past helmet would be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux24/7 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I agree it would be nice to see some variations. USD has a red, white and it appears silver helmet. Would think we could at least have one more. I don’t know what I would prefer more between a black, white or silver helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 A gray helmet with a green Hawks logo on the side along with a stripe on the top that matches the stripe on the pants would be awesome!! Could also use on the road with the white jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I'm no artist so I can only try to explain my concept: Green base helmet. Just the white hawk with black shadowing on neck from the logo (no ND from behind it). Make the hawk cover 80-90% of the side of the helmet, beak starting at the "helmet corner" above the wearer's eye. Most of the helmet would end up white, on a green base, because the logo is so big on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, something like this (maybe a slighly bigger hawk like you said)?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 That's the concept but with the logo at least double in size from shown: - the "neck feathers" end up by the back collar of the helmet - the beak moves a little more forward and down toward the mask. - the black shading ends up going below ear hole Cover more of the side of the helmet than the SDSU bunny does in the picture above. And I'm glad you have art skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Sue Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Start the “Buy-a-Helmet or Two” campaign. Who needs to approve this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the other Dakota schools can have multiple helmets without having a fundraising campaign, UND shouldn't need to either. Question is, why can they do it and not UND?

SiouxFan100 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 100 helmets @ $500 = $50,000 plus or minus $15,000 Disclaimer - just looked up how much a college football helmet costs - a little like asking how much a car costs - wide range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux94 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I'd easily choose a white helmet if we were going to get another one. I think that would really pop and could go with both green, grey, and white jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Is there anywhere that I could go and look up the history of the UND FB Helmet? I know that MN HS has a website dedicated to that (or used to be one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what we wore in late 70’s through mid 80’s. It did have a green stripe that isn’t shown here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Boise has white and black alternative helmets to deviate from standard blue going with another version of a green helmet would be a waste in my opinion. Some people wouldn’t even notice. i think you go with all white or all black for a change up to the status quo - would pop out much much more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfan512 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 This is another reason to have more than 1 logo. Or at least another variation of our current logo. More options for this type of stuff, as well as merchandise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
