True, Luther may have an issue with it


the carbon based life forms.

Just nothing with cats. Tired of cat mascots.

The Ocelots

Scientologists. Tom Cruise would make a great mascot.

And the Gophers should be named the Minnesota Rabbit Chokers

I was going to suggest Badlanders but now I am torn between Otters and Ermine

I have put in Ermine 4 times. Get to work ****ers. Ermine needs to happen.

Rep whore

Colorized logo attached.

The turned head conjures up more predatory symbols like that of a serpent. The close shot decontextualizes its small stature, a problem with the Gopher and Badger logos, where you zoom out to the goofy bodies and they become silly and cartoonish. The squint and flattened ears are intimidating and fierce, yet also approachable. It seems to say, "If you're one of us, you're cool, but if you're a vole or something else we like to eat, you better sleep with your eyes open, because one night I'm going to come to your habitat and gnaw your throat." I could also see this fitting nicely on a football helmet.

****. Here. This is it.

Ugh, The U of M. Sports program is a consistent mess. The best thing they can do is go back to 1860 and move the campus out of Minneapolis so there is less competition and distraction from the metro area.

North Dakota Ice Holes

It needs to look more like an aging female singer that belts out show tunes from the 1950's............named Ethel. Ethel Ermine.

The North Dakota Flyovers.
Hey, I like ND, but this is what people think of the midwest

They've got a shit ton of pheasant in ND. Maybe they could go with fighting ring-necked cocks.

Question for you: will the new nickname lead to selecting new team colors? Right now, it looks like they're going with green and white. But if they go with the Ermine, I would suggest a change to red and white: white for the ermine, and red for the blood of everything that encounters the ermine.
