OT: North Dakota Fighting Sioux become the Fighting Hawks
The decade long battle over the Fighting Sioux name has officially been put to a close.
North Dakota finally announced their new nickname today. They are now the Fighting Hawks.

They'll always be the Fighting Sioux to me.

... perhaps it is the color, or the bird, or the blessed man, or the number ....

Don't forget the Miami (NTM) Redskins --> Redhawks.
November 18th, 2015 at 7:00 PM ^
They officially have no mascot, just a color.
Totally should've gone with Robber Barons instead of Cardinal, though,

It fits their colors, mascot, and university seal, and it's appropriate to NorCal if not to Palo Alto itself. Robber Barons is funny, but I think most people wouldn't get the reference.
"Fighting Hawks" is so generic. UND should have gone with Roughriders or Flickertails or something else geographically appropriate.

So you would like a good spanking, what do you think this is, MGoS&M???
November 18th, 2015 at 8:24 PM ^
College of the Redwoods are...
...the Corsairs.
Wasted opportunity.
November 18th, 2015 at 7:01 PM ^

Warriors => Golden Eagles. They changed it to "Gold" originally, but there was such an uproar that they went with the lame bird of prey approach.

they call me white man and it doesn't bother me or my brown wife.
November 18th, 2015 at 6:58 PM ^
Pretty bold strategy.
Thought they would've been better off dropping the militaristic belligerent modifier, and gone with The Loving Sioux instead.

you might as well suggest
sassy souix
sexy soux
sultry souix
slutty souix
personally I'd go with the Spanking Souix.

I'm going to sue the shit out of Hope College unless they change their name. Flying Dutchmen IS SO OFFENSIVE

I actually do find Notre Dame's name and mascot to be relatively offensive. A drunken, red-faced, short, brawling Irishman doesn't raise a few red flags somewhere in your mind? I really don't like my heritage being associated with a derogatory stereotype.
Especially by a bunch of damned papists!
/s on that last line.
November 18th, 2015 at 7:53 PM ^
It would be great if we no longer had to see the leprechaun on the sidelines.

about the turd on his stick.

Yet strangely it fits their coach to a tee?

Danny Snyder is a douchebag
November 18th, 2015 at 7:27 PM ^
Yep, that is exactly the same, because everyone knows that our country has had a long history of killing dutch people and forcing to live on reservations. Oh wait, nope that never happened, so not the same as what happened to native americans. Hope college is also pretty much full of Dutch people and run by Dutch people, so not the same there either.
