[QUOTE="JCNodak, post: 110082, member: 2902"] I think you are half right. It's all about the mighty dollar. I think UND completely understands that the name is not coming back. But as long as there is such a HUGE following of people who treat a dang college nickname and logo with more fierce loyalty than they do their own family, God or Country, then UND will do anything in their power to keep selling it. Why wouldn't they? Econ 101. There are more important things in life than what is on the front of UND's jerseys. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Here's the big issue. Yes, a lot of people wouldn't ever like any logo no matter what. BUT, I think the majority would've been a lot more willing to accept the logo if these things would've happened: 1. Don't pay a company from out east 50 grand to come up with something so bland. Huge waste of money while cutting other good programs. 2. Allow a local company, artist, or person to come up with the logo. Make it a contest. 3. Let the general public vote on it (or the same people who got to vote on the name). 4. Have a logo that would've had way more detail and much less basic, something people could've worn with pride because it looks cool. They took a sensitive subject and made it even worse. It's been a huge fail from front to back, not because of the name, because of the process. Personally, I'll continue to support UND hockey, but I don't think I'll be buying any merchandise.[/QUOTE] I completely agree. I think there were a lot of people ready to get behind a new awesome logo and move on, but this is not the logo to do that with. [/QUOTE]
