Which is more hilarious the fact that the BADger is sitting cross-legged or the OSU mascot's head is a nut?

 

[Gopher028]

[Sir Tipsy McStagger]

it doesn't bother you guys that the minnesota "M" is wrong?

That poster

I used to hang it in my classroom when i taught. Had that poster for years and years. I think it just finally disintegrated with age. That brings back great memories.

 

[Ewert86PC]

These are great. Brings back memories of a simpler time.

I love the Boilermaker's melonhead.

Trademarks can be a bitch, even back in the 1960's. I saw these on the Uniwatch blog last week. It's interesting to see which schools dropped Indian related mascots over the years.

They're all caucasian.

 

[station19]

They're all caucasian.

What does an African-American Badger or Hawkeye look like?

 

[highwayman]

They're all caucasian.

??? I only count three. Trying that racism angle again???

 

[2nd Degree Gopher]

Is it just me or does the Badger look more like a house cat?

 

[TMac]

Why are the Chief and Goldie holing each others knee?

Look at the skin of their arms & hands. Look at all the posters linked above, they're all the same.

 

[MaxyJR1]

Who was the Tony Dungy of mascots?

 

[Haugy#33]

Oh my how times have changed!!!

 

[Haugy#33]

I would love to see the 2011 version and see how politically correct it would be!!!!

Love the BADger crossing his legs!! Looks like he has to pee after drinking a few gallons of beer at a frat party!!!!

 

[dpodoll68]

I continue to be amazed at how people will find ways to be pissed off and/or offended by literally anything.

Kudos.

I'm pretty sure that Buckeye just has vitiligo of the arm.
