Football Jersey/Helmet Discussion

[Siouxperfan7]

Imagine the story we can all tell when someone asks "Hey, when did UND start wearing the grey helmets?"  And the answer will be "Yeah, that was in 2023 when UND destroyed NDSU and The Bison slipped into mediocracy and UND started winning MVFC and National Championships!!

Keep it simple.  Ohio State has pulled off the grey helmet, grey pants for decades.  Switch red to green and you have a really sharp looking jersey.

I would love this. We don’t need it to say anything on the chest either. Simple white green and black jerseys. A green and a silver helmet. Silver, black, and white pants options. Classic and clean.

Enjoyed the look and the helmets. What I really like is the "fighting hawks" down the pants instead of a stripe. At least on the white it was there and I think on the blacks something was written as well.

Spot on. Simple is best. Have pants that match the helmet. Bubba’s presser today confirmed need permission to use interlocking ND logo, so that likely won’t continue, but the silver helmet with silver pants featuring matching green and white stripes and then Kelly green home jerseys and white road jerseys would be an awesome start.

Who’s permission?

I love the interlocking ND logo.  It is my favorite of any UND logo of any sport.  (I’d like to see the hockey jerseys get these on their shoulders again). Is using it every game against our “legacy” agreement when it comes to imagery, or could we do that?

Dacotah Legacy Collection

Ok, thanks. I was wondering about that. 

[UND-FB-FAN]

The University of North Dakota is required by its 2007 settlement agreement with the NCAA to protect certain University trademarks. All manufacturers for the Dacotah Legacy Collection will be selected through Licensing Resource Group (LRG), UND's licensing partner. Licensees with specific experience designing “throwback” or “legacy” collection items will be given consideration by LRG.

Agreed.  I was hoping for the throwback green like the one Lennon was wearing.  But, the grey with the black looked pretty good.  I would love to see the grey helmet, black jersey, grey pants look.   Would also love to see them throw on the old green Hawks logo on the grey helmet.  

bring back the green hawk logo

Was UND required to retire the interlocking ND, or was it a decision by the university ?  I figured since it had no Native American imagery it would be allowed to stay.

Pretty dumb if we included the interlocking ND logo , I figured permission came from notre dame

why not this ND on the gray helmet?

Stripes match, good look. UND should take note!

We used that logo way before Norte Dame. No permission needed.

[Siouxperfan7]

They have the grey pants. But looking at them in relation to the grey helmets, the pants look a little darker.

I was told once that UND never copyrighted the interlocking logo, but Notre Dame did.

Looks pretty legit to me, stripes would be reversed, but it’s a very solid look.

What would be the impetus for them to get this done.  If players saw this, I would bet they would push for it.

Updated with the new silver helmet: https://www.helmethistory.com/north-dakota.html

 

Looking at the helmet history, I would love to see UND mix in a white helmet. Add a green facemask and use the hawk logo with the green "ND" and it would look really sharp. The Ohio State theme looks awesome, but green and white has always been my favorite look.
