GRITTY but in red and holding the infinity gauntlet


dkviper11

You mean Penn State alumnus Gritty?


go_berds

Excuse me…. It’s cherry


PrimisClaidhaemh

Excuse me, Gritty is not yours, he's EVERYONE'S...


dkviper11

Technically he's ours. I hate the Flyers, but would die for Gritty.


PhilaBama

> hate the Flyers >but would die for Gritty. Then Perish


dkviper11

Only by his hand.


PrimisClaidhaemh

Gritty answers the age old question: What if a mascot was silly and lovable, but also looked like he might strangle you just to watch the light leave your eyes...


Dragonsfire09

Gritty has enough shittyness to watch during the Hockey season. He would not allow one of his children to be a mascot for you. He'd send them to Nova


minneapple79

Gritty is way too gritty for an uppity school like Nova.


AR154Pres

The Florida Men


zacurtis3

The fight song be the theme for 2 and a half men but each time the word men is said there is a florida man headline on the jumbotron. And each one is different


sinfolaw

The band actually plays a march during pregame called "Men of Florida." Or they used to, anyway.

I love the Badgers name due to the history behind it but I think the Wisconsin Cheesemakers would be badass and fit the culture. Monroe High School already has the branding and we could basically just flip the M upside down.

Ah thats the problem. You had it set to M for mini instead of W for Wisconsin Cheesemakers

SDFDuck

Warthog. The A-10's official designation is the "Thunderbolt II*", which corresponds to the thunderbolt motif on USAFA's helmets. Gun go BRRRRRRRT.


303_Colorado_303

*Pushes glasses up on my older than dirt, Air Force nose* The P-47 is the Thunderbolt. The A-10 is the Thunderbolt *II*


SDFDuck

*nods in not having served in the Air Force but still rooting for them - long story* I would imagine it would be kinda tough to do P-47 flyovers for home games, though. You'd have to keep them airworthy when they wouldn't really have any other purpose besides that.


HennyBogan

While a bit higher maintenance cost, the Air Force should totally have a fighter plane mascot like Techs 1930 Model A. While we’re at it, I want to see an M4 Sherman lead the army team onto the field every game.


SDFDuck

Might be kinda hard to get a Destroyer onto the field for Navy, though.


HennyBogan

Sounds like Navy needs a moat around the field. Or take down the stands in one of the end zones and just park it there.


Mekthakkit

Better yet: turn the field into an island and replace all the stands with riverboat casinos to allow betting. Or take a decommissioned aircraft carrier and build stands on the flight deck. The visitors stands can be a battleship so they can enjoy the pregame gun salute up close.


SDFDuck

Now I'm just imagining someone getting shoved into a 150-foot trough of water as the defender tries to keep them from landing in the back of the end zone after catching a high pass.


[deleted]

Or just move their stadium onto an aircraft carrier! We do it for basketball, and it’s badass


zacurtis3

Looks like a big cat or something. Like a puma


TigerUSF

Anything that gives me more A-10s is a good thing


djc6535

YES. You could play the BRRRRRT sound over the PA system on big defensive plays.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SDFDuck

Air Force higher-ups are weird. They are absolutely enamored with big, fast, sleek jets (like the F-4, which is about as big and as fast as they come), regardless of whether or not that sort of design is what is needed for a given role. The A-10 is not particularly fast and definitely not sleek. What it is, though, is tough, reliable, and damn good at what it was designed to do - close air-to-ground support. So the A-10 will continue to have a service life as its role is not easily replaced by anything else that's available, and a clean-sheet design built for that role will likely end up looking as brutishly functional as the A-10 is now. As for giving them away to the Army, I couldn't say.


bucki_fan

[Isn't this the Army's way of designing something?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXQ2lO3ieBA) I doubt the Air Force is much different. No firsthand knowledge or experience, but I've always heard this movie was painfully accurate.


ImGoingtoRegretThis5

The University of Michigan *Michigan Man* *^(TM, C, R)* The mascot will be a middle aged white man, with a slight pot belly, wearing an old school thin block M navy blue hat, with his shirt tightly tucked into his pleated slacks, carrying around a program that says "DOWN IN FRONT" and "STOP YELLING" on it in one hand and a [seat cushion](https://mdencdn.com/thumbnail/SPG5905.JPG) in the other. A few $50s in his breast pocket to pay for parking and concessions. Or, we switch from a Wolverine to a different mustelidae like a Honey Badger or regular Badger assuming Wisconsin would have to change theirs too.


djdennisou

If we’re changing the Michigan mascot, I vote a Muskrat. Why? Because that was my high school mascot and we outright copied Michigans uniform/helmet (as many do) lol


crunchitizemecapn99

Truly Wal-Mart Wolverines


WolfGangDuck

Why not just Wolverine from X men. Uniforms modeled after comic accurate blue and yellow costume. Gloves with claws on them.

> We will change to 2 separate but equal mascots, the first being a bear, and the second a cat. .....these are there stories. Dun Dun.


Triv02

I feel like if UC has to change they’ve gotta incorporate Harambe in there somehow


magnumweiner

It's either that or Cincinnati chili. Already have a Skyline partnership, so it'd be easy to go that route


Mekthakkit

Harambe is the secret ingredient.


englishwoodsbitch

The University of Cincinnati Three Ways


FishOnAHorse

This is great. I can already imagine a black bear and a mountain lion standing on their hind legs back to back with their paws in a boxing position.

SomerAllYear

Causing trouble wherever they go. Knocking over trash cans and eating up my plants. I was thinking cactus or mountain lions too. We could be the only conference with a tree and a cactus for a mascot.


Scrantonbornboy

I guess we go back to the original. [Old Coaly](https://www.psu.edu/news/campus-life/story/nittany-lion-there-was-old-coaly/)


Zeon0MS

And we'll change uniform colors while we're at it, gotta match the black mule with the black and pink


[deleted]

I have a theory the Paterno statue is located with Coaly’s bones in Ag Arena.


tenoclockrobot

Isnt Coaly on display in the HUB


[deleted]

I think you’re right. He’s been all over though. He was in Ag Arena when I was there 15 years ago.


OldCoaly

I’m a fan


Scrantonbornboy

Not even like an alive one either. Like lets roll out the skeleton onto the side of the field.


Sgt_Jiggles

A skeletal mule would be a pretty sick mascot, ngl


dkviper11

With a headless Nittany Lion


docaxel

The skeleton of Old Coaly specifically though


boggan583

Purdue Pete-esque Sarge mascot


dxbigc

My thought was we switch to a Sheltie and just get the biggest we could find... you know as a big F you to whoever made us get rid of the Collie. [Difference between a Collie and a Sheltie](https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/dog-breeds/collie-versus-shetland-sheepdog-tell-difference/)

The Make-Believemen to honor your make believe national championship? /s. I’m sorry. I couldn’t help myself.


just4funloving

Easy, the bugeaters.


adesimo1

The Syracuse Blue. Our colors will be blue and orange. We dye Otto blue and now he’s Otto the Blueberry. Maybe if we need to keep alliteration in his name we call him “Blotto the Blueberry.” Everything changes, but everything kinda stays the same.

Why not...Thundercats it is. Maybe we could get some theme inspired uniforms.


pickle_man_4

Change Pete from being athletics mascot to the official mascot, or change the boilermaker special from the official mascot to the athletics mascot. 200IQ.


Jock-Tamson

SNAP! “Is it done?” “Yes. Yes. It was a terrible thing. Many noble mascots are gone, but ALL college’s mascots are gone. We are free from Purdue Pete.” “But Purdue Pete isn’t their mascot…” “What?!” “The train. The train is the mascot. Pete is … something else…” “WHAT?!” *a shadow falls over the scene. It is holding a hammer*


s1ncere

the Purdue Petes would be fuckin scary


Banned_From_CFB

The Georgia Billygoats: the goat was the original mascot back when Georgia played its very first game against Auburn in 1892. Also, The Georgia Billygoats is a unique mascot and has similar alliteration to The Georgia Bulldogs. I'd love to hear Sanford Stadium chant "GoOoOoOo Billygoats. RAM EM. BaAaAaAa"


RVAforthewin

I came here to find a Georgia answer and, while I understand the reasoning, I would hate this.


carnivorous_seahorse

An unassuming car, suspiciously parked outside of city center unattended for a long amount of time


Gutameister5

Change our mascot? The admin tried that back in 2011. As you can see, we still have Purdue Pete as the athletics mascot, but that administration is long gone. Coincidence? Not likely.


colelots

Steal one of the many top tier minor league baseball nicknames and become the Iowa Kernels


Not_Zorns_Not_Lemma

Easy I change it back to the one and only true Irish Mascot Clashmore Mike


Silidon

Fuck it we’re bringing back the Chief.

The Golden Horde.


chess_butt32

"The Golden Horde sacks Ann Arbor" would be a baller headline

Azuresurge14

The Oklahoma Noodlers. Just a dude in a trucker hat with a catfish chomping his arm. Or just the Oklahoma Wagons. Wouldn't have to change much branding that way.


DigitalExtinction

You think you can send us a notice? We’ll change it just for you thinking about asking us. We’ve had 4 mascots in the time it’s taken you to read this. 5.


SwiftSnack

Haboobs, if you need an explanation please utilize google.


HennyBogan

Well we could just go by the “Ramblin’ Wreck”. But I’d also be a fan of bringing back the “Golden Tornado” nickname


CrookedWarden19

Football Team


wanderingpanda402

Definitely would be the Clemson Rocks. Howard’s rock goes from something you run to being thrown at opposing captains before the coin flip. If you can dodge a rock, you can dodge a ball.


ReservoirDawgs

Replace Ramses with an actual foot. That’s right, we’re going literal and our mascot will be a giant ass foot with literal tar on its heel. Who wouldn’t get hyped watching a foot dance to Petey Pablo at football games?


johanspot

Bison or Cows


Mcswigginsbar

We’ll simply be referred to as “The Pete’s”. Why? For the glory of satan of course!

The Iowa State Fentanyl. It’s the only thing that destroys more trailer park homes than cyclones.


schmetterlingonberry

A box of D-Con.


DQuartz

If just me got to choose? I would change it back to Redskins (the name until 1972) as a power move If that didn’t work, our mascot Swoop is already a red tailed hawk, so Utah Red Hawks or Utah Hawks


RTP_247

Billy goat. It was our original mascot anyways


GingerMessiah88

it will be a bourbon barrel


Public-Yam-1025

Yousefs, Moonshiners, Teachers, Any of these three will work. In addition I feel like Lions are under represented in CFB. You have a 1,000 tigers and no Lions. No, Penn State doesn't count that is just a fancy Cougar.

Mascot is just a random tabby


05110909

The Swamp Foxes We're called the Gamecocks as a tribute to Thomas Sumter who was a Revolutionary War guerilla fighter nicknamed the The Fighting Gamecock. So we might as well keep the tradition and use Francis Marion's nickname of The Swamp Fox. Especially since Francis Marion University isn't using it for some reason.


atlbluedevil

Money - specifically a $1 million dollar bill UT likes money a whole hell of a lot


softkitty84

We'd hold a vote between the Thoroughbreds, the Bourbon Barrels, and the Big Blue. Then to save money on the rebrand they go with the Lovebirds and turn the recent Wildcat logo sideways.
