TrueYankee26 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Like the least used color combos in pro sports thread but for mascots. Also I felt like making this thread because we need some topics other than Redskins topics which has been dominating here lately!There are a lot of mascots from the weasel family (Mustelidae) in college, ones I can think of on the top of my head is Michigan Wolverines and Wisconsin Badgers but hardly any in pro sports, unless you count the Erie Otters who are in the OHL junior league hockeyAnd uniUntil the New Orleans Pelicans, there are hardly any pelican mascots in pro sports either although they are in LSU and Tulane University's seals and many defunct minor league teams used the mascot. The Ibis who share ancestry with the pelican through the Pelecaniformes taxonomic order are famously used as the Miami Hurricanes mascot.There are many Magpie mascots (Newcastle United and Collingwood for example) in Europe and Australia but almost non-existent in North America. Peacocks are used as St. Peters mascot and the NBC logo but none in pro sports. trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critical Thinker Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I always thought an Argonaut (the Greek, not the marine animal) would make a good mascot. There's a lot you could do with a nautical theme.Take Western Michigan for example: It's _____________ and Toledo still sucks.[insert time here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critical Thinker Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 No, there's a D2 school in Florida (U of West FL) that's the Argonauts. There's 2 other schools that are Argonauts as well (Notre Dame de Namur and University of Great Falls). Still, Argonauts are underused. It's _____________ and Toledo still sucks.[insert time here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soarindude Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 True story, when I was younger, I thought an Argonaut was a Canadian Astronaut. This assumption was shared by myself. It confused me even more when I found out that their was a University (In the state I have lived my entire life, none the less) that is also named after Canadian astronauts. Surprisingly enough, UWF was in no way honoring our bloody socialist neighbors space program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 There's a major lack of reptile names in major pro sports. Really just the Arizona Diamondbacks & Toronto Raptors. Does the Colorado Rockies Triceratops mascot count? Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our team names, the Tribe, is also pretty uncommon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
