Welcome to the party! Dude you where months behind on your "subliminal" thinking you knew something. 19 minutes ago, UND08 said: I'd assume that Port wrote this article with pending FOIA requests to determine how much money has been paid to the Berry's for this trademark. This will likely get worse before it gets better...Heads roll over this kind of crap a lot... $0.00 thats how much. Massive nothingburger, no matter how much the Hawkzi's are trying to make of it.

If the Berrys' intended to register the trademark with the motivation to leverage a buyout later on, then I might join the "Fire Berry" crowd because that shows a complete absence of common sense and ethics. But, I am willing to hear the situation out first.... Alternatively it could be "buy, protect, gift to UND". But why did she sit on it from September 2020 to now? And if she bought, why didn't she buy what UND had and released (NODAKS)? Why'd she buy the singular version NODAK that ended up on jerseys? Too many open questions. Quote

As long as the hockey program was against the nickname the lemmings (people who hate the new nickname) were going to follow him blindly. 1 1 Quote

I’m trying to imagine the Georgia or Alabama football programs or North Carolina basketball program branding a 100% separate identity from the rest of university sports and what the fan reaction might be if the kids of the respective head coaches happened to hold the trademark licensing to that identity… @Frozen4sioux big nothingburger? 3 Quote

AJS Posted December 1, 2022 Posted December 1, 2022 Going to be very interested to hear what Berry has to say, doesn't look good for him at surface level. Edit: "Doesn't look good" is a pretty large understatement. Quote

How'd she pick to trademark the name that ended up on dad's jerseys ... other than it was dad's preferred nickname (that lost the vote). Too much coincidence for my taste. Quote

ChrisUND1 Posted December 1, 2022 Posted December 1, 2022 Oh great! Just what the hockey program and Berry need. Watch them fall to the bottom half of the NCHC and out of NCAA playoff contention now. Quote

If it was acquired to gift to UND, why's she sitting on it since September 2020? As an "asset" it's done nothing but appreciate since dad put it on jerseys twice. You have to admit that looks a tad shady. Sep 2020 worth: whatever the filing paperwork cost Nov 2022 worth: I can't fathom Quote
