BusinessSiouxt Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Could have been the ‘Fighting Suits’ and the sweater could have been a faux-tuxedo!… I’ll see myself out… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that this had potential to be very unique to area. A couple of others had potential also - but Hawks - just awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest the powers-that-be change the name to "Fighting Scouts" with a Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery themed logo(s). "Fighting" is particularly appropriate in this case since the expedition was comprised of members of the US Army. "Corps of Discovery" should also be used as secondary marking (on signage, uniforms, publications, merchandise, etc.). This would be much more relevant to the state, as they spent more time in what would become North Dakota than in what would become any other state, and much more marketable. Fun fact - the ND state highway that runs along the east and west sides of the Missouri River are designated "1804" and "1806", respectively, to commemorate the years Lewis and Clark went up the Missouri and came back on their return. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it isn't generic. Pisses me off that people were stupid enough to make the argument that Roughriders was bad because "we can't copy the local high school", and then they go and vote for a bird which it seems like 20+ schools have. At, the time, Flickertails was a non starter, coming from the Sioux name, but I'd take it now. That said, I don't actually mind the current logo, and it pops/stands out in almost every picture where I've seen it included with other logos. It would never look good on the middle of a jersey though (makes for a great secondary, as others have said). Biggest issue I have with the logo is that the design has so much empty space that it causes the stitching to look weird, especially on hats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodak651 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Perhaps the best option is to just roll with the Nodak thing and do it for all sports. Diagonal "nodak" in block print looks dumb though unless its on a hockey jersey, so need to develop a script logo, similar to Pitt (panthers).
