U of Hawaii really are the Rainbow Warriors. Not kidding.

I know, but it is so good and being that we are so far away...... I am sure there has to be some demographic out there that is remotely offended. Just can't put my finger on it????

I think the only nickname the university (robert kelley) is going to allow is the University Of North Dakota Fighting Kellys. as to honor our Good Ol president Robert Kelley.

BUZZ! again. Warriors has a NA connotation. Rainbow Unicorns would be much more PC. Would have to get approval from at least two herds of Unicorns though.

They will never pick this but you could easily go with "Warrior" and use a Viking Warrior icon. But it won't happen because someone in the room will scream NA. And if it's okay to use a leprican because it is ficticious it should be okay to use a icon similar to "Thor" the Norwegian god of Thunder, ie: Warrior..

ConUNDrum....encapsulates the entire process. Our main cheer is a whispered "WTF" as we scratch our heads.

2 facts...rainbows have an underlying gay attachment to them in many circles and a long stiff "horn" isn't widely accepted by some in those groups.

Wouldn't fly..............

Actually the Kelly's could have been an interesting idea, named after Kelly green. But even indirectly our current president screwed that up. Seems like he can't get out of the way of his own shadow!

So to honor the first European settlers in this area with the nickname Fur Traders wouldn't fly either?

I give up, let's go without a nickname. :-)

One more time just so we're clear on what might be construed as being in bad taste vs being OK...
