In South Carolina, Presbyterian College is the Blue Hose. Not know what that means? Well, it literally means the hose that you wear on your legs. Yes, that's right, their mascot is a woman's undergarment. Actually, I think the blue hose they are in reference of are more like socks, but you get my point.

Actually, Blue Hose, at least as depicted by Presbyterian College, is taken to refer to kilted Scotsmen (wearing blue stockings). This is Presbyterian College after all, and aside from the Scottish roots, blue is the color traditionally associated with both Scotland and Presbyterianism.
