There’s A New Rivalry in ND!

Last season, we took on the Bismarck Larks, this season the Rivalry is headed to the WILD WEST and into the Bakken, against the Badlands Big Sticks.

Thanks to our friends at Chord Energy, we’re asking you, our fans, to help us name our Rivalry with the Badlands Big Sticks. We’re looking for fun, creative names, that relate to both the teams, the state, the Bakken, or anything you can think of. Fans for both teams took the time to submit their ideas, and the Top 4 are in. Vote for your favorite name below!

The Bakken “BAT”tle

This rivalry name just makes sense. Both teams are in the Bakken oil field area and the bats are sure to be swinging this summer.

Wild West Showdown

These two teams are the western-most teams in the entire Northwoods League, and they’re sure to battle it out for the ultimate ND showdown.

Battle of the Badlands

This submission said the trophy should be Teddy Roosevelt riding a bison…enough said?

The Roughneck Rumble

What says Bakken more than two roughnecks rumbling for a title?

Need to Knows

Ideas

What kind of ideas are you looking for?
