What?!

Yesterday, the Board that runs Marquette University in Milwaukee met to discuss changing their athletic teams mascot. This was prompted by an alum last year offering $1 million to the University if the Board changed the mascot name back to what existed prior to 1994. In 1994, the mascot name was changed from Warriors, which was deemed racially insensitive to the Golden Eagles. The public awaited the decision expecting either to remain with the Golden Eagles or go back to Warriors (with the joke being that we found out what price racial sensitivity has).

The decision: Gold. That's it. Not Golden Eagles, just Gold. The Marquette University Gold.

Silver is said to outraged at the slight, while no official word yet from Bronze.

Also, the graphic is a straight ripoff of the University of Missouri as noted below.

What design genius!? Interlock the U and M and put "Marquette" across it so there's no doubt it's not a Mizzou logo.
