Catchy College Nicknames/Mascots

[LaneSig]

I can't find any images, but Centre College used to be the "Prayin' Colonels". Now their just the "Colonels".

Campbell University is the "Camels".

And, let's go ahead and bring it up: The Rhode Island School of Design Nads.
"Let's go, Nads, let's go."

OK, not a college, but I kinda liked it in high school... There's a school in Tennessee called The Webb School. And they are totally the Webb Feet. LOVE IT! Especially since they had large feet/tennis shoes painted all over the walls of their gym (at least the last time I played a high school basketball game against them there!).

I'm an alumna of an all girls' school with the colors BLACK and BLUE.

We're the BRUISERS!

Yes, the Carnegie Mellon Mascot is a piece of fabric, ie the Tartan.


I've always liked MIT's Beavers since they are nature's engineers.

That's Joe Vandal our mascot, with our I logo. I'll edit later with the explanation why we're Vandals, not Vikings.

It's another high school, but my favorite is the Poca, WV,

Poca Dots

[PeppyGPhiB]

Pepperdine Waves (and mascot Willie the Wave...who everyone knows is laughable)

The Banana Slugs are also my favorite, but the other one I like is...


The UC Irvine Anteaters.

I've seen it referred to as the official and the unofficial mascot.

Nickname Origination
Given UC San Diego’s close proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its connections with the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, the nickname of the Tritons became an appropriate one in 1964. The Triton is described as the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite who is a demigod of the sea with lower part of the body like that of a fish. It is known as a mighty and fierce sea warrior.

UCSD's unofficial school mascot is the Triton. According to Greek mythology, a Triton is a merman, and the demigod of the sea. He is represented as human down to his waist, with the tail of a fish, and equipped with a "trident"-- a three-pronged spear.
