New Nicholls State mascot (Merged)
It looks like a Nazi policeman. Anyway what do yall think? They changed the old Colonel Tillou because NAACP thought it was racist. They stripped every reminder of the Civil War and came up with this. Thoughts?

So Nicholls steps out of the Civil War era and into Nazi Germany.
He also looks like a scrawnier M. Bison.

The old mascot offended African Americans, now the new one might offend Jews. It's definitely Commies on the Bayou now.

I agree. The old mascot was an authentic soldier from the Civil War and historically reflected the culture of the area. This new mascot symbolizes nothing about south Louisiana and more about Germany/Russia. Nicholls is stupid for hiring a yankee to do something as important as this.

I have this image in my head of this old russian general in uniform yelling at football players. Probably would make a good coach too.

I think they are a close race with the Swiss Guard for worst uniforms in the world.

They couldn't pay me to wear that LOL.
And I feel bad for the Nicholls student that has to wear the new mascot gear on gamedays and school events. It's gonna be funny watching a SS soldier cheer "Geaux Colonels"

I see that mascot pic and can only think of KMFDM's album covers. Not the best higher education link, seeing as no one listens to KMFDM anymore. 15 years ago this mascot would have been great. Now it looks pretty dated.
