Something to start off with - Suggestions for new names?
« on: March 27, 2007, 11:38:51 AM »
EDIT:  This was originally posted in the "A United UND" group, and I pulled it out so others could see it.


I thought this would be a good place to start a list outside of Facebook of what some new team names could be for UND.  We need something we can all stand behind, something that unites us.  And something that will strike fear into the hearts of the opposing team! :D

Agreed.... i was like... you have to be kidding me....

Its going to be interesting to change the name.... Just like with Devils lake when they didn't want to be called the "Satans" anymore... Hell i don't even know what they are now, i still call them the satans.

Same with when Grand Forks Central changed from the Redskins to the Knights, alot of kids didn't like it.

You're never going to find a name everyone likes, which we know. But administration is usualy notorious for trying to over analize the issue and pick a horrible name to begin with... after all, this is UND we're talking about.

I personaly think it should be something completly stupid or way to the other side of the spectrum as what it is now, just to ruffle some more feathers...

Fighting Forks would be a good one for me...
Just imagine a bunch of silver dinner forks on jersey's skating around on the ice... put a hockey stick on it and it would be pretty scary if you ask me!
After the game we could be like... "OMG U JUST GOT FORKED!!"
Instead of a broom we could throw a giant fork out on the ice after a sweep....

Think of the possibilities!!

I'd show up with a spork Jersey just to have a good time also.

I've been thinking this for about a week now and keep forgetting to post.  How about the Tornados?  It's powerful, it's natural, and it's a part of North Dakota.

Tornadoes sounds good.  Now think of a possible mascot.

This was brought up again in the comments on Grand Forks Life.  Some more suggestions:

Jets
Minutemen - Relating to the Minuteman missiles throughout the state.  This one now has my vote!
Imperial Knights - Relating to Englestad's Imperial Casino (seriously?).  This one was beat down since it references the KKK as well.
Trilobites - relating to Lake Agassiz, except that trilobites were long extinct at that time.
North Dakota Norse
The Force
The Freeze
UND-Wheatkings
UND- Beet tailings (folks would understand the smell)
UND-spuds
UND-silo's (grain and missle)
UND-sodbusters
UND-vikings (currently a name not being used to it's fullest)
UND-fighting Norske
UND- Force of the Norske
UND-Roughriders
UND-Floodrunners
UND- PON (parking office nazi's)
Woolly Mammoths - for a fossil that was around for Lake Agassiz.  This one has my second vote.

Come on people! What other ideas do you have?

*either of these would be supported by the Geology department, I am sure.

The Carolina Hurricanes mascot is a pig. Our mascot for a tornado could be... like... a square or something.

Damn I hate the 'canes.
