You don’t understand sarcasm do you? Yea I know they are red and black bc it matches the flag, which doesn’t prove any bit of your point. He used a nickname and colors to match a nationally recognized flag, as well as a new logo. Sounds to me like it was a good decision and easy marketing.

And if you are now gonna act like any body nicknamed the Hurricanes also stole Miami’s name bc Miami had it first, that would mean Miami ripped off Tulsa’s name. They became the Golden hurricanes before we were the Hurricanes. So that point you made about stealing the name is also illegitimate and ridiculous

Once again, you dig your heels in, or else you just don't listen or read.

Tulsa is the Golden Hurricane SINGULAR. They are named for a SINGULAR TORNADO. Not a tropical hurricane or hurricanes. Tulsa changed to the Golden Hurricane name in 1922 (from the Golden Tornado name), because they found out that Georgia Tech had been using "Golden Tornado" since 1917. Meanwhile, Miami chose the Hurricanes PLURAL name in 1926, due to the 1926 "Great Miami" hurricane. So UM picked "Hurricanes" FOUR YEARS after Tulsa picked "Golden Hurricane". Pre-internet. If you think that Miami ripped off Tulsa, that's on you.

To follow your ****** logic, Army (Black Knights), Rutgers (Scarlet Knights), and UCF (Knights) all have the SAME EXACT nickname. They do not.

Tulsa is the Golden Hurricane, named for a tornado. The Miami Hurricanes are named for the Great Miami hurricane of 1926. There is a fundamental difference between THAT and a crappy hockey franchise moving and taking another team's nickname. A team that won four football national championships and two baseball national championships in the 15 years prior to 1997.

But you continue to stan for all of your Carolina teams. Pathetic.
 
Only time I remember Miami wearing uniforms with that hurricane flag was when we wore those green and gold Unis vs unc

According to Andy Slater Miami requested a trademark of the below logo for jerseys and clothing. It’s not a LOGO change just and addition. I love itView attachment 92147

Yeah, your dipsh!te logic is correct. If a team names themselves for a tornado, nobody can ever use a different meteorological event. The Tampa Bay Lightning ripped off Tulsa too. The Miami Heat ripped off Tulsa too. The Oklahoma Thunder ripped off Tulsa too.

You're just too big of a pvssy to admit that the Carolina Hurricanes DIRECTLY took their name from the Miami Hurricanes. Letter for letter. Meaning for meaning.
 
We have one of the most iconic symbols in college football. They better save this trash for the softball squad

Lmao so Miami is the only team that can use that name or else somebody copied them? You are dumber than I thought.

You better put out a PSA, Miami has been copied thousands and thousands of times. And it’s so crazy all these teams took the word Hurricanes and made it mean the same thing, so you know they copied Miami. I mean out of all the meanings and spelling differentiations of the word hurricanes and they took the exact same one. So blatantly copying, it’s like they didn’t even try to hide it. You should call Webster’s and make sure they credit Miami for the word

You are a buffoon.

All US pro leagues, for decades, have worked very hard NOT to duplicate the names of existing teams, even if the motivation is primarily for marketing differentiation reasons.

When Washington got a baseball team, they didn't select their prior name (Senators) as Ottawa already used that name, they went with Nationals. Minnesota didn't try to select North Stars when they got their second hockey team. When Las Vegas got a hockey team, they went with GOLDEN Knights. Cincinnati's football team didn't pick a hacky name like "Tigers", they got more specific with "Bengals".

Since the late 60s/early 70s-era expansion in the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL, the only two pathetic franchises that have had to steal an existing team name?

Carolina Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes.

Lazy and uninspired. Like everything in North Carolina.

Sounds like a problem only you are concerned about. You should contact the NCAA and complain about teams having duplicate names as well as the NFL matching college names.

Go organize a North Carolina Anti Defamation League, you crybaby.

I understand why you don't care, all the hacky teams that you root for stole their team names from others. Go Panthers! Go Hurricanes!

I don't know that the palm tree was ever an official logo, but it was a commonly used motif in the 1980s.

I started at UM in 1986, and we still had some 1983 National Championship shirts available at the UM bookstore. And those shirts were low-grade crap.

People today have no idea how good we have it now. Back in the mid 80s, we had no Nike deal, no adidas deal, and nearly all of the available merchandise was TERRIBLE. Nobody had the right version of green. Nobody had the right version of orange. Most of the t-shirts were 50-50 poly blends that were horrendously cheap. Basically, you HAD to go to AllSports (AllCanes) to get anything decent back then.

Now that AllCanes is owned by Follett (UM bookstore), I doubt that we are going to get any more good "smack talk" t-shirts, so CanesWear and/or Dyme Lyfe needs to step up their smack t-shirt game.

Favorite t-shirt from 1989 was sold by a student in my dorm. Paper thin quality with stick figure artwork but it read, " See **** lie (stick figure saying, "Notre Dame is #1"), See **** try (stick figure attempting to throw a pass), See **** die! (Ibis standing with 1 foot on stick figures chest).

Somehow managed to keep that shirt for about 20 years. Lol
 
Am noticing by many of the above postings that some haven't been around too long or attended games. The hurricane flags have been around forever and are marched onto the field before every game. I thought they had already been trademarked. Back in the day there were fans who brought huge warning flags into the O.B. that were on collapsible fishing poles that they shoved down their pants to get them in. Loved it when those were unfurled in the stands. ROCK YOU like a Hurricane......
