1991 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 the university of missouri-st. louis announced that they are changing their mascot from the "rivermen" to "tritons". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yac12 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Any reasoning given for the change?I think it seems the change is not needed. Rivermen fits perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 wtf? why did they do that? Rivermen was perfect, and to think I almost went to school there... Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 My problem with the change is that Triton was typically regarded as an ocean/sea deity in Greek myth, as opposed to a river deity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBear Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 The only other Tritons I know of are in Green Bay at Notre Dame Academy, the Catholic school in town - it was a combination of three area Catholic schools, so they wanted a nickname that had a reference to "three" or "tri."
