MafiaMan Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 This isn't stop-the-presses news, but I thought it was interesting that the Star and Sickle, er, Star Tribune didn't seem to be upset by this. The Minnesota Lynx have changed their uniform and added a "tribal pattern" (GASP!) signifying the face of a Lynx. Did a tribe approve of this? Any specific tribe? Was a tribe consulted at all on its design? Lynx New Uniform Article Lynx Shop - New Jersey with "tribal inspired side pattern" In fact, if you check out the entire shop site, every single team is sporting the "tribal inspired side pattern." Very interesting, I thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux-cia Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Tribal as in African tribal or Native American tribal? If it's African tribal, it's ok; just as Aztec is ok for San Diego. They're not American......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Lindsay Whalen and a select few, that would be a true horror show. Attendance would rival that of the National Backgammon Championships.

NDSUguy Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Does the use of the word "tribal" mean anything? I am pretty sure that the "hositle and abusive" term has more to do with a logo than a use of the word "tribal" when explaining the design of the logo.

I am pretty sure that the "hositle and abusive" term has more to do with a logo than a use of the word "tribal" when explaining the design of the logo. It is if your 'perception' of the design is that it is Native American and the decription verifies it by saying it is 'tribal'. The NCAA will define it as hostile or offensive.

I am pretty sure that the "hositle and abusive" term has more to do with a logo than a use of the word "tribal" when explaining the design of the logo. If the Thundering Herd took the field this fall with new pants and a "tribal-inspired pattern" on them, what would your first impression as to the origination of the word "tribal" be? You sound like another character who is willing to decry "cartoonish" logos of Native Americans as derogatory while at the same time chuckling at the Fighting Irish logo because it isn't really an Irishman, it's a leprechaun. You can't have it both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMom Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 For the record, I saw more mullets at Moondance Jam than I did at the Lynx game I went to. For some reason this felt like the appropriate place to post that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCM Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 That is an awesome presentation, but where is the Oshullet? Get with the program. It's called a Mushie. The Sicatoka would look fantastic with a skullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 We've had this argument before. I was right then and I'm right now. The Oshullet sounds way better. You know it, I know it, your beagle knows it. You are about as up to date with what's cool as Milton Berle. Just give up, admit I'm right and go take a nap.

Yes, we had this argument on USCHO and you lost. Everyone agreed that the Mushie was better than the Oshulett. And my beagle believes whatever I tell her, so you lose there, too. You are about as up to date with what's cool as Milton Berle. Why thank you! Just give up, admit I'm right and go take a nap. You're not right, but taking a nap is always a good idea.

Sounds like some sort of disgusting Norwegian food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
