There was a big debate recently here about renaming a high school mascot...they were the "Red Devils." People thought that was portraying a bad image to the children. If I remember right, the mascot name has been around since the school was built...they were named after some company (cement maybe?) that donated supplies to build it. I'm not sure if they ended up changing it or not.

I was a Viking in high school...now I'm a Wolverine. I want to be the mascot at the school my mom works at, they're the Huskies!

A college here has an Indian mascot, the University of Utah Utes. I haven't heard of any controversy over it, but I did notice that their actual mascot (guy dressed up) is now a hawk.
