While We're At It, Get Rid of the Street Pigeon

What I don't get is that the San Fran area (OF ALL PLACES)  seems to accept the Golden State WARRIORS...

Bring back the Warrior name with the Hoan Bridge as the logo?

Because Golden State dropped the Native imagery years ago - in the late 60s.  Had Marquette done the same, the Warrior name would have never been a problem.

I have said this before, but Marquette trying to respectfully keep Native imagery ended up killing the name.  And it's never coming back.

[tower912]

Exactly.   The Warrior imagery for Golden State has not been tied to native American imagery in over 50 years.

[YaBlueIt]

Either keeping Warriors and dropping the native imagery completely or going back to Hilltoppers would've been fine. I love old-school sounding college nicknames.

But Golden Eagles was selected and that will not change. Kind of sad that the name/logo are so bad that it's been almost downplayed out of existence.

Anything is better than "Golden Avalanche". I will never understand people who advocate for that name.

Golden Eagles is lame. Completely pedestrian. Entirely insipid.

Bring back the Golden Shower Avalanche or Hilltoppers

True Fact: Warriors was adopted due to the popularity of the Milwaukee Braves. Before that we were the Hilltoppers. Bring it back.

Damn, no wonder we Warriors won our only championship in Atlanta.

[Billy Hoyle]

Exactly.   The Warrior imagery for Golden State has not been tied to native American imagery in over 50 years.

From my understanding, when deciding whether to change the name or not MU determined that the Native imagery could not be separated from the Warriors nickname. We had kids wearing headdresses to games for years (some encouraged to do so by Dr. McAdams).

And while I am sure there is truth to the Potowatami deal being involved, there was a MU sports law journal article that said the actual requests was from Natives on reservations in South Dakota where the Jesuits worked.

Thank you for your acknowledgement and respect of the mighty Walrus.  I apologize for snapping at you but it was simply a warning to proceed with caution.  Generally Walruses are not vindictive so you should be alright. 

uh-oh

[MuggsyB]

Woooooops.  Be safe all.

[4everwarriors]

I believe the Golden Eagle is the fiercest of the Eagles too,    We actually made  our mascot less fierce looking over the years.  The initial iteration I think was better.   

Yeah but its more woke ta bee kinder and gentler deez daze. It ain't 2019 no more, hey?

[Aughnanure]

Why do we even need a mascot?

[keefe]

Ditch the mascot.

Call the team whatever but the mascot thing is lame. A guy in an outsized polyester get up waving and clapping on the sidelines is meaningless.

Unless we have the balls to have something along the lines of Dartmouth's Keggy or RISD's Scrotie we need to give the mascot a miss. It's not just trite, banal, and insipid but actually bordering on the grotesque.

[willie warrior]

Yes.  Also, there are very few things in life cooler than a Bald Eagle taking out a salmon.

Even better is a bald eagle taking out a badger

[GooooMarquette]

Even better is a bald eagle taking out a badger

Yup.

[willie warrior]

uh-oh

Yes
The new mascot will be named the Snaggle Tooth

[Hards Alumni]

Yes
The new mascot will be named the Snaggle Tooth

A walrus with a snaggletooth... I've seen too many of those at Marquette already.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

It's amazing how quickly a sleeping walrus that ended up in Wales became our preferred mascot.

Well....besides their physical dominance, the fact that this Walrus fell asleep on an iceberg, and woke up 1200 miles away in Ireland , is pretty badass. 

[PointWarrior]

I assume they will bury the mega-years old tiring U2 intro song as well.
