nodak651 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I don't have an opinion on this yet, just a lot of questions at this point. So, what IS Chaves position on this? Is this equivalent to the basketball court design fiasco? Who signs off on Jersey orders? Is UND getting paid any sort of licensing fee for NODAK jersey sales at the Ralph and other stores? What are Chaves thoughts on the apparel offerings at the Sioux Shop? Who is running the athletic department? Is there any oversight? Also, did plans for the NODAK jersey and branding have anything to do with UND taking it's multimedia/licensing rights in-house after the Learfield contract expired? What exactly IS "Fighting Hawks Sports Partnerships", like is it actually some sort of legal entity, or does that name just represent the existing/ongoing sponsorship terms between UND and the REA, as spelled out in the Usage Agreement? Since the unveiling of "Fighting Hawks Sports Partnerships" has anything changed, either operationally or financially, in regard to the UND/REA usage agreement? Now that Port wrote his article, I find these quotes from an Inforum article somewhat interesting: "The object is to have more flexibility and to capitalize on relationships," UND's associate athletic director for external operations Kyle Doperalski said. "After months of discussion, we came to the conclusion we could do those things ourselves. It will give us more flexibility and we'll be able to control our own destiny, so to speak, in a few aspects," Doperalski said. Two more questions: 1) what relationships was Kyle referring to, and 2) what did the "months of discussion" look like, and who participated in the discussions?

Siouxperfan7 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Get rid of Nodaks. Not our nickname. And now the University is not even benefiting from the merchandise. The coaches daughter is.

Using someone else's TM in commerce is a far different area. You'd best have signed usage (license) agreements.

We don’t know anything other than who owns the trademark and that NODAK is on UND jerseys and apparel. All of the assumptions and accusations only create rumors. It would have been best to inquire to UND with the legitimate concerns regarding the trademark, who made decisions and were policies violated or laws broken. If UND doesn’t respond in a timely manner with the clear answers and the accurate information regarding the situation (appropriate action depending on the facts) then the media can help get the facts. Instead we have a sh.. storm to deal with. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 A bunch of us here knew of this for weeks and been cringing should it come out.

Shawn-O Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 2 hours ago, MafiaMan said: Ya think? This was probably a quick phone call to Las Vegas to see if a certain booster wouldn’t mind ponying up $100K or so to purchase the trademark and then “give” it to UND. Brad gets some hockey jerseys for his team to placate the “Sioux Forever” mob, said donor continues to be the superhero, and daddy’s girl quietly makes a few bucks on the side. Everyone’s a winner. But that’s probably just wild speculation on my part… This pretty much sums it up. I'm even going to give the kid the benefit of the doubt. Although her involvement is puzzling for simpletons such as myself. I'll await more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
