I've been rooting around in game notes prior to the UND-Penn State game in Nashville to see if there was a story behind those uniforms. The "NORTH DAKOTA" word mark uses such a classic-looking block font that I wondered whether it had come from the archives. Alas, I can't seem to find any trace of it. So it appears as if they just pulled a new typeface out for looks.
Not that it looks bad, of course. And it's not like their standard uniforms use type that matches with the university's athletics brand.
This typeface was used in the 90s when UND pulled the Sioux logo off their hockey jerseys the first time. It was only used for a handful of years before the program started using the geometric logo seen on the 97 and 2000 championship teams' sweaters.
