darell1976 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/221627/ The hockey team “will continue to wear Fighting Sioux jerseys until February,” he said, but he declined to describe the replacement jerseys in detail. “They will certainly have ‘North Dakota’ on them,” he said, and the interlocking ND has been on the jerseys for some time. “We’ll be at the tail end of our season then, and we’ll make the switch when we’ve got the new ones. And we have to have them for NCAA post-season play.” I hope its not like the old 1993-95 jerseys Quote
darell1976 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 This was from WDAZ News on Facebook UND President Robert Kelley announced today at his state of the university speech that the school will be using the 'flame' logo until 2015. #sioux #UND Why do I see this being a permanent thing..now we just need a name to go with it.

Fetch Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 what a arrogant Ass - Just has to rub it in Quote
ScottM Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 And we have to have them for NCAA post-season play The way the season is going so far, don't hold your breath on that one ... Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 what a arrogant Ass - Just has to rub it in Who? Dr. Kelley? He's. Doing. His. Job. (I won't say well because he surely hasn't been leading from the front.) What are his options? Things UND already has trademarked. What are those? The interlocked ND (with words "North Dakota" nearby) or the UND flame logo. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Flame logo? Unique moniker? The Torch. The UND Torch. The North Dakota Torch. Quote
ScottM Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Flame logo? Unique moniker? The Torch. The UND Torch. The North Dakota Torch. Fighting Arsonists ... Fighting Contributors to Global Warming ... If we can add a cigar to the flame, we could be the Fighting Stogies ... Quote
GeauxSioux Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 http://und.edu/features/2011/11/bass-fishing.cfm When I saw the shirts in this piece on fishing, I thought this may be used somehow for uniforms. Quote
darell1976 Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 http://www.wdaz.com/event/article/id/11485/ Supporters of the University of North Dakota's Fighting Sioux nickname are ready to start two petition campaigns to keep it. Secretary of State Al Jaeger approved the petitions late Monday. Jaeger's approval means backers of the nickname may begin getting signatures. Let the killing of the athletic department begin. Quote
Chewey Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 So, the NCAA is going to hold UND athletics hostage and kill UND athletics. That could fit nicely into the anti-trust part of the lawsuit. I am sure there is an historic pattern of practice involving other institutions that could augment the argument. The NCAA is going to want that, I'm sure. Quote

Fetch Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 A former sports editor from St Paul - Not worth the print space - just the Herald keeping it all going It does need to be solved & SL has stepped up Or just take the easy road & let UND Admin. have it's way Were all tired of it but it's not 100 % over Who will ask the question if Spirit Lake Sioux would work ?

Ranger Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Pretty sure the majority of BSC schools would like to see Sac o' Shiite State out of the Conference. 1 Quote
the green team Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 I guess I read the column like this. Sacramento St. is concerned with the travel costs to ND within conference play. I'm willing wager that they along with a number of other far west schools in the Big Sky would be more than thrilled to show us the door under the disguise of the nickname situation, to get the end result of getting out of travel to ND. Even though it proves that it's not really about the nickname...its the travel--by having the nickname it gives them the ammunition and an actionable item to vote on. 2 Quote
Cratter Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 They added UND hoping to push Sac St out. 1 Quote

If travel was the issue why did they vote UND in? The nickname is retired. What is there to give them ammo about? 1 Quote
