Mentioned this to someone the other day, but putting “Nodak” on green, black, and white hockey-centric clothing isn’t really a novel idea here in North Dakota: https://m.facebook.com/100042171531851/

After all, “Nodak Apparel” was a registered ND trade name several years ago. 

You have got to be kidding me. 

Looks like that is "Inactive - Involuntary" since 01/06/2022.

For sure he wouldn't till he had the whole story....unlike Portly.

Yes Schloss was well aware I'd imagine

No chance he didn't have wind of this a while ago. Isn't he a reporter/journalist? He seemed to be a misinformation spreading expert on everything Covid back in the day and had no problem with that.  Or does his relationship with BB and the hockey program trump his journalistic duties and just make him a lackey in the scenario?

Or... he literally

You seem to be saying there’s nothing to see here. Couldn’t disagree more. And even if Port didn’t know the full story—and that’s at least partly becuz UND wasn’t very forthcoming—it is news. And it has an odor. At the very least his story should get the rest of the story for those of us that aren’t otherwise in the know. 

Port has gone after SU hard for several issues. I don’t think he was out of bounds on any of them. He’s doing his job—we need transparency from our governmental entities. 

 

Port knew the full story...

 

He knew exactly whatvand why he told only the one side

UND’s official response…

As Frozen4 pointed out in the jersey thread, UND claimed "first use" on the interlocked ND but "Our Lady of South Bend" was first to TM. "Our Lady" owns it no matter UND's "first use" claims.

What was the “full story?” Becuz whatever it was 3 hours ago it’s now different after UNDs press release. This assignment does not end the story. We still need to know why BB’s daughter had the rights in the first place. What was her intent? Did she make money on it before this assignment? Something still smells here.

How would you know that? Rob? Is that really you? :D 

You can easily know this not in what he wrote.. but in what he didnt write..  and the manner in which he went after the vaugley veiled allegations as opposed to facts.

 

Thats the difference between a journalist and a sleezeball masterclickbaiter ..... who you all put faith into to "get someone"....

and at the end of the day.

What you have is a big ol burger full of ... nothing.

A nothingburger.. .

and now you know, the...... rest of the story.

First to use > first to file is the presumptive standard in America though, right?  This is why UND’s position is that it always owned the trademark and Nodak LLC never did.

But that didn't work with the interlocked ND and Notre Dame's TM on it.

Port now has a new article after UND’s press release, with many questions that need answering. UND and BB need to clear the air if they want this to go away. 

Port or "Staff Reports"?

The agreement involved no financial transaction between UND and the LLC and “is believed to be in the best interests of all concerned,” the release said.

Did NODAK LLC receive "financial transaction" for licensing from someone other than UND, for example Adidas?
