Englestad saw this coming so he had the logo built into the infrastructure every 10 feet.
Yeah, as I recall he also said he’d significantly restrict the use of the arena if that nickname changed.
Never understood why to avoid NCAA sanction and at the same time screw them, the school didn’t change the name to the “the fighting sue” and have a lawyer as their mascot. Far more scary than any old Injun anyway, and even if it is an odd name, it’s not any worse than the Cardinal (a color) or the Banana Slugs.
As to the Redskins mascot that seems to be on its way to discard everywhere, seemed to me an easy transition that didn’t even require a name change. Just have a tourist with a white-zinced nose as your mascot. Loud shirt, camera, sunglasses, red sunburnt skin, you could even have new cheers incorporating stock tourist phrases like:
“Where’s the bathroom?!?!”
“We missed the turn, Martha!”
“Say cheese!”
around 2000 logos plastered everywhere.
