Title: Dumbest Mascot In Sports
Post by: Zachary The First on September 05, 2007, 12:44:43 AM
Well, my first bet would be my own state's Indiana State University Sycamores.  Here is what they are named after:

Weak, man.  Weak.

But Larry Bird played there.

Your candidate?  Any sport.  Dumb uniforms work, too.

The University of California at San Diego (UCSD) Tritons. The mollusk not the demigods.

Soccer: Geißbock Hennes (http://www.geissbockfans.de/verein/hennes.htm) from 1. FC Cologne. Not every sports team has a real goat on the field - and trust me, the fans of about every other soccer team make fun of it :D

Our national soccer team has a semi-official mascot, courtesy of a certain sponsor:

The fans have actually thrown stones to that duck abomination.

Urg. Uruguay did a lot of fouls in the past, but this one isn't a penalty that any national team should bear. And I always thought Goleo, our mascot for the world championship 2006 was unbeatable dumb:

Who wants to come from a country that uses a trouserless furry as icon?

Evergreen State College's mascot is the geoduck.

That's right.  A big fucking clam that looks like an orange, swollen penis.  

There's even a fight song:

"Go, Geoducks, go!
Through the mud and the sand let's go!
Siphon high, squirt it out, swivel all about.
Let it all hang out!
Go, Geoducks, go!
Stretch your necks when the tide is low!
Siphon high, squirt it out, swivel all about.
Let it all hang out!"

Yeah.  It's a wierd hippy school.

OK, I think it is safe for me to enter this conversation since we've found a mascot that is definitely worse than, um, nevermind.

Anyway, what the heck is a banana slug?

Is that thing for real? Exactly what kind of fighting spirit does a slug invoke in its fans?

Trees are pretty lame as well (but things that grows on trees are fine).

The geoduck is hilarrious. Just what is a geoduck? (http://www.evergreen.edu/athletics/geoduck.htm)
