Grand Forks, ND – Ever since the Fighting Sioux officially changed their name to the Fighting Hawks, there has been much regret and many second thoughts on the name change.
Yes, twas probably time for the Fighting Sioux to change their name due to growing political correctness powers building up pressure over time.
But, the choice on Fighting Hawks is certainly not sitting well with a majority of folks who care deeply about the school’s past and future.
The name that most people wish they would had changed to is: The Backdoor Lumberjacks.
A recent poll of four people shows that about 75% of former “Fighting Sioux” fans prefer The Backdoor Lumberjacks over the Fighting Hawks.
Surprisingly, because of these sentiments, there is now some hope that a second name change can and just might occur.
How do you feel about a second name change for the Fighting Sioux, to the Fighting Hawks, to The Backdoor Lumberjacks?
