If Michigan plays the University of Delaware, do both teams wear the same helmet?

If South Dakota State plays San Diego State, does the winner get the rights to SDSU?
Why is football, called "football"?

What if there was an annual hoops tournament where Auburn, LSU, and Missouri played Clemson, Memphis, and Princeton on a rotation? Call it the Tiger challenge.
The University of Delaware adopted the Michigan helmet design when former Wolverine player David Nelson took over as the Bue Hens' coach in 1951.

teams that have a color for a mascot: harvard crimson, stanford cardinal, chicago maroons.
many more teams have an animal or other animate object for a mascot that has a specific color: golden gophers, bue hens (already mentioned), tulane green wave, duke blue devils.
For all of you old timers - remember when the Twins would do a "Camper's Weekend" at Met Stadium? Hundreds (thousands), of campers would set up their campers, RVs, etc. in the parking lot and take in the three games over the weekend. My dream call from Herb Carneal would go something like this (assuming we played the Oakland A's and it's the bottom of the ninth on the Sunday afternoon game). "Two outs, bottom of the ninth, and the Twins are down one.....here's the pitch to Killebrew, and it's a high pop-up in the infield and CAMPY CAMPANERIS CAMPS UNDER THE BALL TO END CAMPER'S WEEKEND AT THE MET"
(OK, maybe I've had too much whiskey tonight.....)
Yes! Now you have to go to Pequot Lakes for Beanhole Days to get your fill of beans!I remember the bean feeds. Was at the one Calvin made his comments about why he moved the team from DC to MN.

I don't know about Harvard, but I think Stanford and UChicago replaced Native American mascots.
EDIT: Nope, Harvard and UChicago never did. Stanford for sure did, as did Syracuse.
Syracuse Orangemen and Orangewomen had nothing to do with Native Americans.
While it's true that Syracuse University had a Native American mascot, it's official nickname had been Orangemen and Orangewomen until 2004 when it adopted the gender-neutral Orange. I think the nickname and not the mascot is what is being discussed.
