It was stated that we had already done too much damage by keeping the native imagery and that they would be forever linked. That's why people say if we changed it back in the 60s or 70s like Golden State then we'd still be the warriors

My kids' high school - which is the Warriors - just announced that they are dropping all Native American imagery. They ran a contest to provide a new design idea. We'll see how it plays out.

I understand your point, but the use at MU was dependent upon Native American imagery.  That imagery used to contain a pretty crass stereotype, but at the time of the change MU had gone a long way trying to make it a positive cultural reference.  It was the complete dismissal of the effort to be be educational and respectful of the heritage that always confounded me.

I'm only vaguely aware that we're the Golden Eagles. Marquette doesn't really lean into the mascot/nickname (because it's bland as heck), so whatever change it, don't change it, I don't care anymore.

I think the odds that the university goes back to Warriors even with a non-ethnic-mascot/imagery to be vanishingly small.

But, then again, I thought the odds that they canned Wojo this year were vanishingly small too. So what do I know?

This was exactly my reply when MU sent me a questionaire on the name change. I suggested a Viking or Roman. I agree Warrior doesn't simply imply Native Americans. Hell, a Celt in a kilt would be a hellova mascot! ( definitely going commando)

I've always hated the "Golden Eagles is bland" argument just because Warriors is pretty bland as well.  Warriors is every where in sports.

When I think of non-bland names I think of Hoyas, Tar Heels, Terrapins, Hawkeyes, Buckeyes, etc.  Something that makes you only think of one school.

For the record that's actually a surprisingly common mascot.

Monmouth comes to mind off the top of my head but I think there's a couple more.

Edit: Monmouth was the wrong school I can't remember who the schools were but there's more than a couple

Hilltoppers would have been perfect. Historical and different (notwithstanding W. Ky.).

The chance for Warriors without native imagery has come and gone, so what's the point of even having this convo? I'd love it...but it ain't happening. P.S. pretty sure Washington Football Team is going to do that with the Warriors.

This one, I believe, has roots in the MU football team so there is some history to it but I would never be able to get past the "yellow snow" connotation.

Go with the Marquette McGuires ... alliterative, unique, flows perfectly with 2 syllables in each word, and Al will always be a larger than life figure. 

A lot of these other options are half-measures and names that require explanations like "the Runnin' Marmots was the squash team name in 1932 when Father Nobodycares saved a family of marmots during the Pabst water tower disaster that winter..."

Keefe - that is excellent guidance from Mr. Zappa.

My grandfather was always doling out little nuggets of advice. "Don't row in any leaky boats," "don't take any wooden nickels" (not a problem I've encountered in my lifetime, but I digress), etc. "Don't eat any yellow snow" is one that has served me well, and one I continue to abide by.

Your grandfather was clearly a wise man and most likely a devotee of The Zappa.

Whether it was avoiding yellow snow, raising dental floss in Montana, finding the spot that gets her hot, immersing oneself in the pleasure of dirty love, or imagining Orrin Hatch on skis, The Frank dispensed pearls of wisdom by which a man could live honorably and without guilt.

The musky is a ferocious apex predator that is rightly feared by both man and beast. We should be proud to be represented by such a noble creature. And the fact that muskie comes from the Ojibwe word meaning "Great Fish" links us inimitably with our Warrior Heritage in The Land of Sky Blue Waters.

It's time to take Anne Zizzo off the leash and let her cut loose on this concept.

I loved the name "Warriors" when I vended the games in High School for Sportservice in the Arena. I earned my BA & MA at MU. Then the name changed. For years the chant "let's go Warriors" lingered.  Enough already. It been generations. It's time to move on & get on with life. Since Marquette is a Catholic School let's use a Catholic analogy. When I was a kid we had Latin Mass. Then we turned to the vernacular. There are people who miss the Latin. Services, under certain circumstances can still be in Latin. However, it is NOT coming back! It is safe to say that the Jesuits are not going to buck the tide of anti Indian mascots. It is a done deal. It's never going to return to "Warriors ".

Well, yeah, exactly.  44 years later he's still larger than life, still a symbol of the team, been honored in a zillion ways... but wait... using "Marquette McGuires" as your hoops nickname is a bridge too far... instead, go with the obscure sominex-type "Avalanche" with its roots in the 1930s or whenever.

How about "ALvalanche"

1000 Al's coming down the face of a mountain to bury all onlookers? That's intimidating.

It's funny that there's a college (Wisconsin Lutheran) literally located 5 miles from Marquette's campus with the nickname Warriors.

Did you know that Shaka was named after a famous Zulu king and warrior?  If there was ever a time to relate MU to warriors, this is it.

Or we could just adopt the "hang loose" emoji...

Better than the current one.

I don't even remember those uniforms.  Update the materials and the colors and I wouldn't mind those.  The MU on the shorts is better than the current MU logo.

I don't know why we're wasting our time with this again. We aren't going back to Warriors. Hilltoppers probably should have won but didn't.
Here is why:
We won our only natty as Warriors and our greatest coach and almost all of our greatest players, retired jersies played as warriors .We do not need any other discussion on why we should be Warriors. This is a no brainer. The hell with the candy asses that cant get it or feel otherwise.

If Marquette went with the legendary musky fish, we would out sell the badgers for team merchandise. It is an outstanding idea.

As an Air Commando I can affirm that 'hanging loose' is an integral part of the Commando Ethos.

The only unique names MU's associated with is Golden Avalanche and Gold. Beyond that Hilltoppers would've been fairly unique but Warriors is about as common as Golden Eagles.

How many teams are named Eagles such as BC. That's close enough to Golden Eagles to be considered overlap.

The intent of my post was to show that the TBT team might rename themselves.

Granted I should have realized it would turn into this.

I know, I was more lamenting where the topic went than where it began. And in referencing the other thread, of course someone went over to hoop it, which I also should've realized would happen  ;D
