Mamba Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 No Wheat Kings because it's masculine? Then Wheat Monarchs? Could be the Whole Grain Monarchs ... with the occasional gluten-free night, think of the possibilities. Wheat Kings is a good name ... for Brandon MB ... which means it's been done. Don't do the done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't do the done. I don't think it is a good name choice either...I just happen to like the name and the logo though. Hard to make wheat look good in green, white, and black though.

The Sicatoka Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Folks, there are going to be many, many people (gluten) intolerant to that name/logo. We don't need to start a war with the celiac community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Yep, exactly! I guess from a "flip the bird at the NCAA" perspective I could live with either Ghost Riders (and we know which former riders on the plains we speak of; hint: REA plaza statue) or Black Stripes (I wonder if we could cut a deal with Adidas ... ) And yes, finding a way to "flip the bird" to the NCAA with a new name that still meets their PC criteria would help the name garner some favor with many. The problem: We'd be setting ourselves up to drag the albatross forever. LOVE the Ghost Riders idea. Love it. And I'm all about a cowboy connotation with that. I'd go with a pure black logo with a relatively simple shape, silhouette related to a cowboy in some way. I'm not a guy who like all black uni's, but simple logos work the best IMO because they are so easily recognizable at any distance. For example, like the Lion's, Cowboys or Vikings. So an all black logo would work great with that nickname. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with a pure black logo with a relatively simple shape, silhouette related to a cowboy in some way. Use just the head/mane, change eye to Pantone 347 (official UND green), and done. (That's the logo PCM proposed for "Nokotas" and comes from an old Poco album.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Very under-rated band...great album. Interesting music fact: the album cover was designed by Phil Hartman. Yep, the comedian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Very under-rated band... Pretty tough to screw up when the middle of your 'batting order' has names like Jim Messina, Randy Meisner, and Timothy B. Schmit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingsioux4life Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Minnesota is "The North Star State" and that's cool, so why not ... The only person that is hung up on that is you. I would guess that 99% of people don't even know this and probably don't care. Except you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
