Considering the growing Russian menace, perhaps 'tis time we reconsider (https://www.holycross.edu/crusader-moniker-and-mascot) "our much more offensive (https://www.holycross.edu/sites/default/files/files/mulledy-healy/mulledycommitteereportfinal.pdf)" color and mascot.
The "Big Red?" We all know what that's about (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr_UMhNMSOI). And bears? "Godless killing machines (http://www.cc.com/video-clips/z8f9f5/the-colbert-report-exclusive---godless-killing-machines)."

Actually, I've long considered the Oklahoma Sooners to be one of the more offensive nicknames, for similar historical reasons.
I'm also looking forward to a team working "jihad" (which after all, has many meanings unrelated to holy war) into their nickname...
