radionews Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 When they show a stat Sioux related on the bottom of the screen, why does it feature the olg geometric logo??? Is it something to do with the name controversy? Looks stupid since they don't use that logo anymore. ps-Having a ball watching the Sioux playing great hockey with my Gopher fan Dad tonight!!! All WCHA Frozen Four??? Would be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotadan Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I was wondering that also. They have used our new logo some. Probably just too lazy to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmrg74 Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Maybe it just shows up better on TV? you know, for those eastern types that think Boston teams are really good and such?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be cool <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not an expert but I think that the newer UND logo is so detailed that it will not show well in the space allowed on standard definition sets.

OETKB Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I saw this "old logo" situation on TV last night in a sports bar here in California. It really annoyed me, too. However, this is no worse than the last time UND made the Frozen Four, and the DUFUS announcer said "Notre Dame penalty on......" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 good idea but it has been on other broadcasts on differnet channels..they have not shown the sioux on espn since they changed the logo in 2001 so they need to get on top of that by the f-4 I'm not an expert but I think that the newer UND logo is so detailed that it will not show well in the space allowed on standard definition sets. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only when the small image is shown that the old one is used. For example when they go to break and show the score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethanm Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 If the current Sioux logo was used for TV broadcasts, it couldn't be any harder to make out than Denver's logo which some people can't seem to figure out no matter how big it's shown.

tboneund Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I'm not sure, but last I heard the new logo wasn't officially adopted by the university, but since that is what REA uses that is what most products use...I also seem to remember that UND gets a bigger cut from the use of the new logo...funny if it hasn't been officially adopted If anyone knows for sure please feel free to correct me. On a side note I found some intresting Frozen Four Stats: Karl holds the record for lowest GAA and Highest SV% in the FF, ahead of some other guys you may have heard of: Marty Turco and Ken Dryden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxMeNow Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 the geometric logo is still an officially approved and commercially acceptable logo for UND Athletics (according to the UND.EDU website) - and truth be told it probably does show up better squeezed up in a small scoreboard window than the new logo would. Doesn't bug me...remember...the jerseys on the replays show up a more often than the scoreboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackheart Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 ESPN will probably have the Bison logo with one of the following abbreviations: UND NDSU NDK NoDak SoDak NoCar So Car USD SD GFK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakotadan Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I just sent ESPN an e-mail asking them why they have still been using the old Sioux logo. Hopefully I either receive an answer back to this question or else we only see the new logo used during the broadcast and on SportsCenter.

Please they didn't show hockey when the NHL was playing, now with plenty of other sports to showcase... Wiffleball, full contact croquet, Jai Ali, and blind folded ping pong balancing with a spoon in your mouth (looking to become olympic). ESPN has no time for the F-4, thus it has been banished to the "deuce". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1siouxfan22 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Sportscenter had about a 2min highlight of all 4 games last saturday. That takes alot of work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxper Kev Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Been a long time since I have been on the board, but I noticed that the old logo is being used on the front of this forum page as well. Can't they fix that one either? Good to be back. Hope to make it to Columbus!!! Looks like it will be a "game time" decision for me. I can only make it to the finals so we had better get there (is there any question??) Later, Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
