Dacotah Legacy Collection License

University of North Dakota partners with Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) to manage the University’s Dacotah Legacy Collection (DLC) license. The DLC was launched in 2013 to protect intellectual property of University retired logos as well as to adhere to a 2007 settlement agreement with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

To protect these marks, the University must be able to demonstrate continued use of the retired marks while also monitoring unauthorized uses. The DLC oversees merchandise that can be accessed through its two full-line retailers, SCHEELS and the Sioux Shop, through their respective online platforms. Items are selected for production on an annual basis and are made available at the discretion of our retailers after being purchased from licensed manufacturers. The word ‘Dacotah’ and its font are a tribute to the Dacotah Annual, UND’s first annual yearbook.
