Ohio State Mascot

Sure, you have bulldogs, the panthers, the knights, and the hawks. But not every school chooses a conventional mascotte. Indeed, some schools choose the a rather not very conventional one and often for the rather strange reasons and not very orthodox. Here ten of the strangest one, in no special order - except the last the one.

Capsule weevils.
To six long millimeters, not a lot of schools boast a SMALLER mascotte than that of the University of Arkansas to Monticello. Always, despite his tiny size, the capsule weevil is a frightful opponent - after all, the this is the cotton plague the most destructive one to the United States. With that to the spirit, the it is curious why the sports of men to Monticello are represented by the Weevils of Capsule while the women are known as the "the Flowers of Lady".

Fourmiliers.
The this is the prodigy that the years 60, a decade celebrates for the agitation and political protests, also would see the increase of University of Fourmiliers of California irvine? Inspired by the comic strip of Hart of Johnny, aeoeB.C.," Zot that the Fourmilier was introduced the first athletic event of the school, a water-polo game, in which ones majorettes took the crowd in the now infamous song, "To Give 'the language of em "!

The banana Types.
While famous for his culture of marijuana just like the infamous one "the Race of Porter," in which scratches students in mass by the campus a night of the year, the University of California santa Cruz also is known for his distinctive mascotte. The idea for the mascotte grew of the disapproval of the students of the athletic ferocious encouraged competition to the other universities - therefore, they chose the peaceful slug.

Fight Okra.
There are several legends as for how the Delta them "men of State" state in fact became known as the "Fighter Okra". A version implies a group of athletes that decided to adopt a mascotte that intimidated more. The okra was suggested because the it was green (the school color), south, and ugly. The name sank.

Scarves.
Although this rather unfortunate name is also the slang for the athletes that "stifles" in the final minute and wastes an easy victory, the Scarves of Gray Harbor refer themselves in fact to a term noting archaic. Traditionally, the "scarves" were men that packed newspapers with the ropes before transfer them to the wood work-site.

The Vulcain.
Considering the volcanic activity to Hawaii, the this is certainly fitting that a local school would invoke the Roman God of Fire. Who is said, on to hear about the mascotte of the University of hawaa�-hilo, the most of us not in fact think about another eminent Vulcain as his representative? (Allusion: Live long and prosper).

Fight Evaaques.
Before 1925, the Ohio teams wesleyennes were known as the "The Red and Black one" or as simply "The methodist". But given that there was a dozen a methodist universities in the sector, Ohio wesleyen decided to have a competition and chooses a new name for himself to distinguish itself. "To fight Evaaques" was the conqueror.

Artichokes.
Light the heels of protest mascottes as the Fourmiliers and the Slugs of Banana, the Artichokes were chosen by the students of University of Community of Scottsdale in the year beginning 70 as a protest against the practice of the administration of school of usage of the eruditions wanted for Amerindian to attract out-of-the state athletes.

Poets.
Named for a poet and an eminent leaders in the abolitionist movement, John Greenleaf Whittier, the Whittier Poets of high school are also not intimidating completely as the Okra of Fight or even as peace likes as the docile banana types. On the other hand, the Poets are also not as ridiculous as at least a mascotte...

The fight Preserves to the vinegar.
Apparently, the Gherkin pickles of Fight first were suggested as a joke in 1972 when the Caroline of the North School of the Arts decided to have a competition to create a mascotte. As with the competitions a lot of mascotte choosing - when the administrators of school will learn? - The vegetable not very probable won, the data not only the honor of becomes the mascotte of the official school but probably the mascotte more ridiculous of all time.

On the other hand, which is the mascotte of your school...
