GeauxColonels Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 NC State has apparently contacted Loyola University in New Orleans, LA about its use of the "Wolfpack" nickname. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 That's a ridiculous goal on NC State's part. "Wolfpack" is hardly a unique name like "Blue Devils," "Seminoles" or "Buckeyes."

Kevin W. Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 The funny thing is... U of Nevada, Reno was founded before NC StateBut NC State adopted the "Wolfpack" name in 1922, whereas Nevada didn't adopt the name until 1923 or later. Wikipedia says they were named the "Wolves" in 1923 but doesn't mention when it was changed to "Wolf Pack."

rams80 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'm not sure this is going to work, since I'm pretty sure the judge will say the word "Wolfpack" has passed into the public domain. Maybe they'd have better luck if they adopted the intentionally ironic spelling "Wulfpach" (a la "Syfy"). NC State is held in the least highest regard academically of the ACC North Carolina schools, right?

dgnmrwrw Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 NC State is held in the least highest regard academically of the ACC North Carolina schools, right?As an alum, I'd be interested to know the evidence behind this claim. We have a fantastic university, with a focus on science and research. As is always the case, it depends on what the student wants to study. Design? Engineering? Math and Physics? Veterinary Medicine? Textiles? NC State's easily the best school in the area for those subjects. Journalism? Business? Education? Pharmacy? Go to Chapel Hill. Law? Art history? Political Science? Maybe Wake Forest is best for you. Duke, of course, has its own areas of established expertise. As do all universities. It's all in what the individual wants and how much effort they are willing to put in. I've known brilliant people (and idiots) from each school.Back on subject, this kinda bothers me. But then, where do we draw the line between "generic" nicknames and obviously unique ones? Surely we can all agree that "Seminoles" and "Demon Deacons" are clearly unique to their individual schools, while "Tigers" and "Wildcats" are so generic as to be insusceptible to trademark. Is "Wolfpack"? I'm not so sure. HURRICANES | PANTHERS | WHITE SOX | WOLFPACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
