William & Mary mascot ideas include an asparagus
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — The College of William & Mary in Virginia is looking for a mascot and ideas have ranged from a feathered horse to an asparagus stalk.

The school said Monday more than 400 nominations have been submitted. William & Mary for decades was known as the Indians, but the school changed its nickname to Tribe in the 1980s.

The NCAA ruled in 2006 that the college could keep the Tribe nickname but its feathered logo was demeaning to Native Americans and had to go.

The school's athletic teams will still be called the Tribe, but the college wants a mascot that may — or may not — match the nickname.

The asparagus stalk supporter notes that if served with cheese, the vegetable represents the school colors.

The school's president will make the final decision.

I like eating asparagus, but who would have thought of using asparagus as a mascot? :shock:
 
Veggie Tales!! Mascot! :lol:

I sure hope they do not choose that, poor kids will be the laughing stock of their district.
 
Asparagus? :lol:

I don't think I've seen any other places that has Asparagus for their mascot. It'd be kind of weird to scream and say "Go Asparagus!" when cheering for their team. :lol:
 
I ate asparagus with potatoes and turkey fillet yesterday

mascot? What is this?

Mascot is defined as a term for any person, animal, or object thought to bring luck – colloquially includes anything used to represent a group with a common public identity, such as a school, professional sports team, society, military unit, or brand name.
 
If they do, I want to buy a school jacket even though I have never lived there or gone to school there! :lol:
 
i can picture that the other team's mascot as a cheif that would stomp on the green veggie on the floor in front of people in the gym.

I wouldn't send my kids to that school with lame mascot. veggie? :shock:

:lol: It'd be funny to see my brother and sister in law wearing that school jacket if W&M chooses asparagus as the icon. My brother attended William and Mary and my sister in law is alumni.
