Press conference video of announcement

I still find it utterly stupid they were forced from their name and the Tribes basically blackmailed and extorted them over this.


quote:

The new nickname replaces Fighting Sioux, which was retired by the state Board of Higher Education in 2012 because the NCAA deemed it "hostile and abusive."




This was their old logo designed by some in the Latoka Tribe

The problem I have is Myles Brand went on a witch hunt cost the school millions of dollars and then caved to other schools.

The Open letter by the old UND president is a masterpiece, but it has been removed from all websites.

The fact that they use it at all is nuts when it is pure racism

I want to see how they create the new logo...

Using something like this to tie the past to the now/future would be fantastic, I am sure people would get pissed off about it also. It is too fierce looking.

The people who liked the old name were defeated by people who are superior.
