That has been proposed by some UND supporters. Before Sioux was adopted UND was known as the Flickertails; probably not a candidate now.

Maybe the new nickname could be the Minuteman for the Minuteman ICBM's? Yeah, UMass has the Minuteman, but they're could be more than one team with Minuteman, just like there is more than one team with Tigers, Cougars, Bears, etc. UMass has a colonial minuteman as a mascot. UND could have a big missile.
Or as Whitey mentioned, the ICBMs?
Or how about the nukes? You could have a big mushroom fireball on the helmet.
Or the B-52s as Minot AFB has only one of 2 remaining B-52 wings.
I've always thought they should be the BUFFs. It works on so many levels.
:D

YES! xthumbsupx And then they could change the name of Ralph Engelstad Arena to The Love Shack.

Re: Tribe votes on Sioux Nickname
This was discussed before, I don't understand the difference wit Sioux or Dakota, they're bot names of native americans. Shouldn't the Dakota state names be changed too?

BIG DIFFERENCE, because Sioux is a derogatory name given the Lakota by another tribe, which means "snake in the grass." Lakota is what the "human beings" call themselves.
Re: Tribe votes on Sioux Nickname
So be the Fighting Lakota.
