OT: PITT and the Steelers are forced to change their mascot names
- Thread starter jivecat
- Start date
Pitt Phoenix. Pitt survived two fires in the 1800s that wiped the university out and it rose from the ashes. Being a mythical animal, PETA can't complain.
But really, I'd just sell the mascot to the highest bidder for the athletic endowment or NIL money; whichever is legal to do at the time. So, maybe the Pitt PNC Financials or something like that. Cha ching.
Steelers....like the Browns at Cleveland, the name stays.

That's brutal. I was going to mention that as an option, but is also an animal.
I would integrate the teams together. NFL team is the Pittsburgh Iron City, and the farm team is Pitt IC Lites.
You know what mascot I am surprised is not banned in this day and age….the crusader. A bunch of Europeans who killed Muslims in the Middle East to conquer them. I figure someone would have get bent out of shape on that.
Just Pitt. Mascot is a giant Pitt script with arms and feet. Don't need a name other than Pitt.
The Christchurch rugby team are the Crusaders. This was a discussion after the Christchurch mosque shootings.
A script P might actually work. That could be hilarious.
They should change their name to the Turks. Then they can conquer the other teams with pride.
NZ had a draw against Turkey and we get a public holiday to commemorate it.
You spoke too soon; Valpo changed their name from the Crusaders to the Beacons a few years back, though I’m not sure if there was actual outcry or they were just being proactive.
Not sure too many people get this, but it is darkly funny...well done.
Face to face: Tell them to eff off while wiping the juice from a rare steak off your chin with your sleeve.
