Ban Will Mean More Money for Makers of UND Apparel

The NCAA has banned the use of American Indian mascots by sports teams during its postseason tournaments.

So when the Sioux hockey team next makes the NCAA postseason, I imagine they will be sporting a classy-looking throwback jersey that says "North Dakota" in block letters that run diagonally down the sweater. Replica throwback home white jerseys and road green jerseys available to the fans mean more green for the makers and sellers of Sioux jerseys.

As for the ban, Neil Young and Crazy Horse were unavailable for comment.
