Emerald joker Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 When I see Legion of Doom, I think of Animal and Hawk, The Road Warriors! "What a Rush!" (I think I just dated myself) That was my era too lol, surprisingly i thought of superman first but they were my favorite tag team back in the day Quote
Emerald joker Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Correct, Hawk, Michael Hegstrand died. Animal, Joe Laurinaitis, is still alive. I thought it was Joe and John laryngitis HA HA Quote
Goon Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I kind of like that. Or just The Legion How about Legion of Doom? Quote
Siouxphan27 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Sounds dumb that's why it shouldn't be picked Thank you, Darell, for succinctly summing up the reason why any and all replacement names thought of thus far shouldn't be picked. Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 How about Legion of Doom? Loved that Flyers line nickname. Quote

The imagery would have to change to Roman this and Roman that. On the good side, only white Europeans, Christians and Jewish people were largely persecuted by the Romans so we'd be in good standing with the right sect of perennial crybabies......... Quote

Not necessarily would it have to be Roman... could attempt to make it our own "Northern Legion"; "NoDak Legion"... I just think the name has an edge to it and has some conviction which I hope the new nickname carries those traits. I would like for someone who doesn't know about UND to say "they have a badass name and logo." Something worth cheering for. Quote
darell1976 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Thank you, Darell, for succinctly summing up the reason why any and all replacement names thought of thus far shouldn't be picked. That's not what I said, I like Oilers, Jets (or something aviation related) and even GS's Arrow idea. Just something other than plain old North Dakota. Quote

Possibility that some "committee" figures this out and gets it right? Good luck! Quote

choyt3 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 This^^^^^ I still think it should be something that can kill a bison! Chuck Norris could kill a bison with his bare hands. Quote
Goon Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Loved that Flyers line nickname. That was an awesome name. I could get behind that. Even as a Bruins fan. Quote
niouxsiouxfan Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Chuck Norris could kill a bison with his bare hands. Don't we have a football player by the name of Grady that can accomplish that? Who needs Chuck Norris? Quote
FightingSioux87 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Don't we have a football player by the name of Grady that can accomplish that? Who needs Chuck Norris? hahahahahaaahaahaaaa....YES! Quote
The Sicatoka Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Don't we have a football player by the name of Grady that can accomplish that? Who needs Chuck Norris? Superman wears "Chuck Norris" pajamas. Chuck Norris wears "Elijah Grady" pajamas. Quote
niouxsiouxfan Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Friendly Sioux? no longer conjuring a negative stereotype. Already have a ceremony granting the use of "Sioux". how could this be deemed offensive? Quote
UNDBIZ Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Friendly Sioux? no longer conjuring a negative stereotype. Already have a ceremony granting the use of "Sioux". how could this be deemed offensive? 1. The name "Sioux" is what the NCAA has a problem with. 2. It doesn't matter what the descriptor in front of "Sioux" is. 3. The NCAA and, perhaps more importantly, the Standing Rock tribal council don't care about or acknowledge the 1968 ceremony. 4. The NCAA created the "hostile and abusive policy" in 2005. UND would've been exempt had one reservation given timely approval. They didn't (both Spirit Lake and Standing Rock refused to answer). UND would've been exempt had both reservations given approval within five years. One didn't. Yes, this fight has been going on with the NCAA for a DECADE. The fight has been going on with the bleeding hearts within the university for 50+ years. It's time to move on. Quote
darell1976 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Best weather nickname: UND Green Storm Have Tornado Sirens go off during 3rd downs or when the opponent calls a TO on the court after a big run. Quote
BobIwabuchiFan Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Who cares...it's "We are one, we are North Dakota!" Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Who cares...it's "We are one, we are North Dakota!" "We are a no-name school with no identity!" You left that part out. Quote
