Ray77 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 My idea from the beginning (other than keeping Sioux) is to sell the rights to our name. North Dakota Coca-Cola's North Dakota Dodge Rams North Dakota Waste Managements North Dakota Jim Beams Just think, instead of us paying to keep a nickname, we'd get paid to wear one. That's actually a great idea, and with the way corporate sponsorship is taking over everything else, I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen in the future...we could be pioneers! I think the ND Dodge Rams would be the best out of what you mentioned...we could then just go by the Rams. The only problem is that Dodge typically uses red vehicles in their commercials...I wonder if they'd object to green, white and black?

Big A HG Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 North Dakota Mighty Soo So, would that have turned the "DOT Line" into the "Soo Line" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moser53 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 All the good nicknames are taken. Maybe being so far north we should embrase our location. Like the The North Face. Here comes The Face.Who can draw up a neet looking north face? Just trying to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darell1976 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I don't know if this has been suggested but what about the Fighting Dakotas. With or without the logo. If we lose the logo we could be in the same boat as Illinois. Fighting Illini-Fighting Dakotas. I can see the NCAA having a hissy with the indian logo but maybe a new logo with Dakota.

Go with no nickname or pick one and move on. When I was in Lubbock for the FB game Muss said on the radio that UND was in the top 15 in the country for merchandizing. Pretty impressive. That is one mean looking logo. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxSioux Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 I like flickertails too. The name is original and historical. I've also liked "Eagles". We could be the "Legal Eagles" to highlight the law school. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bincitysioux Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Flying Sioux? The H-13 was used for observation, reconnaissance and in the MedEvac role as a litter carrier in Korea, following initial fielding in 1951. The H-13 earned the nickname "Angel of Mercy" for evacuating some 18,000 United Nation's casualties during the war. Hostile and abusive? I think not................

fight on sioux Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Not trying to be an asshole here. But some of these nickname ideas are absolutely terrible. Everything from going back to the flickertails to Aviators... Cmon guys, really to go from Fighting Sioux to these.... This forum discussion needs to go away, it produces nothing good.
