Bad College Mascots

Adding Hampshire Frogs to the cool mascots – with Geoducks and Banana Slugs.

But I’d like to know why Pratt has a team called the Cannoneers. It should be the Paint Bombs or something. Or, well, being an art institute, I guess they play other art institutes, so what would strike true fear into the rival teams?

the Critics
the Funding Cuts
the Boring Suburbs
the Landlords

And what sports do they play? Paintball? Competitive canvas carrying? Do they do sports as ironic performance art?

Turns out RISD, though, for its team The Balls, has a true art school mascot … a giant penis.

(If that’s bleeped out, which I assume it will be, just google it. Actually, google it anyway. The image is truly … visually striking.)
