gfNDfan Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 Lots of views - lots of cheapskates apparently! The fund is legit and he's only looking for 10k. Where are all the strident SIOUX FOREVER fans? This guy gave you something of worth - conjured from his own creative talents of creativity and an artists talent. It was THE LOGO in college hockey for it's run! No gratitude for that?

There's a difference between being "rude" and giving people a kick in the ass to do something! I made a modest contribution and then thought to spread the word. He lived across the street from me in North GF for many years and was a great guy to hang around with. That was my motivation...what's yours? I'd guess patience (and probably NOT contributing?) But maybe you're one of the many that wear that logo on a jersey or shirt while beating your "SIOUX FOREVER" mantra - do you do that? Well then KICK IN some money for the artist that designed it! This isn't about the nickname - it's about the artist that designed an incredibly noble and proud representation of that logo in a time when any representation was in question. Bennet supplied his version and for that we ALL should be grateful...and willing to pay it forward in his time of need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Banner Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 UND should give him what he deserves for designing the logo. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he only get paid a initial design fee and never saw any money after the logo went to UND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he only get paid a initial design fee and never saw any money after the logo went to UND He was paid per design and they asked him to possibly do like three or four designs. But they liked the first one. And paid him for that one. Because they didn't need any more. Moral of the story: don't do good work the first go round....or have the contract state you'll present them all at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 On second thought the current logo sucks and they picked that one. So maybe UND just always likes the first option?! "No way they'll pick this one!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a Sioux golf ball marker if that counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfNDfan Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 9 days later and his supporters are still 2K away from making the original goal of 10K - it's only moved like $500 the last couple weeks - really? DISAPPOINTED in the "mighty SIOUX nation" but not surprised. When Al Pearson was going downhill I posted a similar link to friends of his daughter's GFM and it was met with yawns and minimal support despite everything Al did for UND....wtf? Sure we'll wear a funny mask at a game to "honor" him but at the end to of the day that didn't mean sh*t. A little cash for his daughter would have been better. I'll tell you - that was a really sad moment that made me realize "Sioux" fans only care about a NAME not the people who poured their heart and souls into it/or did it.
