An Illinois message board adopted them as their out of Chicago team a few years ago and actively supported them. There are a few great mascots in Illinois and a few former not so good (see Pekin Illinois)

I love these. Your mascots and whatnot don't always have to be so serious. This is great.

You can only have so many wildcats and bulldogs before you have to start going out of the box, I guess. Can’t imagine how that one was ever approved at all. |

Pekin is a school-city, not the mascot.

I get that. What I saw on google was that at one point their mascot was the chinks. Until it was later changed to the dragons. That's what I was referring to as bizarre and surprising that it was ever improved. www.cbsnews.com/pictures/controversial-mascots/13/ |

That is unbelievable. I can only imagine the type of ruckus and uproar it caused when they discontinued this tradition haha  |

Cornjerkers is my favorite. Sounds like there's going to be a cornjerking contest at some team camp that's going to get a coach fired at some point.

I only included football-playing schools, but that is a good one.
