For giggles, here are some of the other names that at one point in time during the mascot change process had been tossed around...

Gorillas, Fighting Farmers, Woodpeckers, Mosquitos, Diamonds, Hellbenders, Express, Engines, Mallards, Dragons, Scarlet Fever, Scarlet A's, Tornados, Ridge Runners, Ridge Raiders, Rice Birds, Aggies, Dragons, Crop Dusters and of course (Black/Scarlet/Red) Wolves

(I'm sure there are WAY more I'm forgetting)


ULM changed theirs in 2005 for the same reasons as stAte. How did you get to hang onto the Indians moniker for three more years? I had thought both schools changed at more-or-less the same time.

The university was very slow and deliberate with the change (not to mention quite a bit of vocal outcry from fans regarding the notion of a change) and from my understanding, there were efforts to find the support/backing from a specific tribe (Osage, Quapaw, Cherokee Caddo, etc) but it never came.
I think our Native American imagery was based on the Quapaw, correct? I dont know if its true, but I remember hearing we reached out to the that tribe for endorsement.
They came back with an astronomical amount. We said, nah, we'll just change. 03-lmfao

Best forced decision ever.


You’re saying the imagery we used with the Indian family?
I was told we were based on Osage, but there were a huge amount of conflicts with our presentation. For one, the Osage tribes didn’t have a ‘Indian princess’.

Also, our chief wore a war bonnet, but Osage didn’t have those.
