darell1976 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I think instead of focusing on the state we focus on UND, that's why I like Jets. There is one other school in the NCAA with the nickname and its South Georgia Tech College (JC). So our name will be like no other in NCAA DI sports. We can have a mascot, a cool logo, and I know Winnipeg is the Jets but we are not in the NHL. UND is known worldwide for its aerospace and aviation program, and we should showcase that in our new name and logo. Quote
hrkac Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I say that there should be no new nickname or mascot "North Dakota" is great. If there has to be a new nickname it should start with The Fighting ----------- fill in the blank. With "The Fighting" at least we have saved part of the best nickname and logo in all of sports "The Fighting Sioux" The Fighting Foos. UND can fly Dave Grohl in for every game to sing the national anthem and the Foo Fighters can play in the concourse between periods. 1 Quote
siouxczech29 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 The Fighting Foos. UND can fly Dave Grohl in for every game to sing the national anthem and the Foo Fighters can play in the concourse between periods. Lets go Foo... Lets go Foo... Lets go Foo 1 Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Played around with a logo I found on another blog.http://dg294.tumblr.com if und does go with nokotas, fighting norse, roughriders, or nodaks i do hope that ben brien does the logo if und goes with blizzard, sundogs, pride, spirit, or any other lame ass nickname i hope they let some little kids at kelly elementary do the logo (inclusive enough) Quote
ericpnelson Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 The Fighting Foos. UND can fly Dave Grohl in for every game to sing the national anthem and the Foo Fighters can play in the concourse between periods. if you get Dave Grohl to play during intermissions, I'll let him call the team whatever he wants Quote
UND99 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Played around with a logo I found on another blog.http://dg294.tumblr.com Bennett could incorporate the feathers from his Sioux art into this type of design. It'd be unique while still hearkening back to our great tradition. Quote

Old Time Hockey Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 The Fighting Foos. UND can fly Dave Grohl in for every game to sing the national anthem and the Foo Fighters can play in the concourse between periods. Only if you can sign a 10 year deal with the Foo Fighters to play all home games. Other than that teams might use the line....."I pity the Foo..."https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bKQdPXdOsaU Quote
Old Time Hockey Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I like birds of prey, and the name and logo potential is vast How about the Fighting Skuas? Bird of prey inhabiting polar environments that prey upon other birds up to 3x larger then they are. Quote
GO_FIGHTING_SIOUX_GO Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 how about Sasquatch I don't think anyone has that and then don't put anything on the jersey because they're to mystical to be seen. Then you could get a 10 year deal with the crew of finding bigfoot to come to the Ralph to do their Sasquatch calls. Then between periods you could have everyone looking throughout the whole arena to find a Sasquatch (which of course can never be found). Its a great idea Quote

Hawk E Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Arctic Skua Stercorarius parasiticus also called parasitic jaegers, have a well-earned reputation as avian pirates, stealing much of their food from other birds. NO on being a parasite of any sort. Quote

Hawk E Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 That's a pretty safe bet, the only one that likes mosquitos are other mosquitos. Hunters might be appropriate though, a lot of them in the state, it's non-gender specific, and has potential for a lot of different graphics. Quote

Hunters might be appropriate though, a lot of them in the state, it's non-gender specific, and has potential for a lot of different graphics. Hunters fits a lot of the criteria that has been discussed, and seems to be unique. Not only does it cover a lot of people that currently live in the state, it represents a lot of the original Native American population and the original white explorers that came through the region.

choyt3 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I'd be ok with Ligers. They're pretty much my favorite animal. That, or "Gatherers". Quote

Hunters is to vague. What type of hunter? Native American Hunter? Deer hunter? Duck hunter? Cougar hunter?!! Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Hunters is to vague. What type of hunter? Native American Hunter? Deer hunter? Duck hunter? Cougar hunter?!! The vagueness is part of what gives it a chance to be accepted. Does everyone define Bears (Black, Brown, Grizzly, Polar) or Eagles (Golden, Bald, Screaming) or Engineers (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Petroleum) or Hawks (Blue, Crimson, Scarlet, Mountain, River), etc? Most people don't just hunt one species. I'm not sure if it would make my short list or not, but it should be submitted and let people take a look at it. And maybe someone can find a synonym that sounds even better. How about Huntsmen (and maybe Lady Huntsmen) or Deerstalkers? Quote

With the way the left wing loons dictate college campuses and the NCAA, hunters would be associated with using weapons and we can't have that. Not to mention the uproar from PETA and the Humane Society wackjobs. Quote

Not to mention the uproar from PETA and the Humane Society wackjobs. There are already a lot of nicknames that are more violent than Hunters. PETA and Humane Society wackjobs (as you call them) don't seem to have a lot of traction in North Dakota. So I don't think Hunters is going to be eliminated for those reasons. It may be eliminated because not enough people like it, or they like something else better. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Explorers? I dont know why but I kinda like the idea. Quote
