Admiral Ackbar would have been so much better.

What's the difference between a rebel black bear and a... black bear?

...and shows his rebelliousness by dressing up so he doesn't look like the other black bears.
rebel black bears = warrior golden eagles? ?-(
when will PC die out?
The problem with admiral ackbar is paying george lucas like 80 million dollars or some other absurd amount, if they let the school or not. not even gonna bring up whether the school would allow it to happen.
Would anybody like to wager that Marquette's disastrous experiences with our nickname came up during this entire transition? I'm going to go out on a limb and and suggest Rebels...in association with the deep South, with a former mascot suggesting Southern plantation owners...is 1000x more offensive than a name paying tribute to the proud and fierce Native Americans.
So what did Ole Miss do? They kept their name and changed their mascot. What a novel concept (although they should have gone with a riverboat captain).
Let's go Warriors!

Masturbating bear > rebel bear
That is actually a great logo, Titan! I could get behind the golden warrior-chicken :)
Titan, did you work on that while commuting 2.5 hours each way?
It's actually not bad....though the bird is there, I don't think of Golden Eagles because of the name association.
Love it....of course human beings are entirely INCAPABLE of disassociating the Warriors name with Native Americans as we've been told. Completely impossible.

Yeah, you gotta put some kind of a headdress on the eagle head, and maybe some warpaint!! That would be cool!
I really like that combo.

Cool idea but it still has the chicken.
I hate the chicken.
I personally would have done the old "Marquette-lanta Falcons" logo

Haha nah. I couldn't concentrate at work with Madness tonight so I distracted myself with non-offensive warrior logos.
The new eagle logo looks better than the original eagle logo because it has a better fit and looks more fierce. Also the warrior logo has a face so I thought the eagle face would be a better fit.
