Welcome to the DBD, a W4C community board where one can talk about pretty much anything, like…
Utah
The Nunt'z people are a collection of eleven tribes in present-day Utah. The Spaniards called the Nunt'z "Yuta", which became Utah and the Utes as the Anglicized form. The University of Utah was formed in 1850 and the team adopted the Utes identity in the 1920s. Not all of the tribes gave the University permission to use the Utes name, so they co-used "Redskins" and "Redskin Braves" as their mascot. In the 50s, the university adopted Hoyo, a cartoon of a young Ute warrior. In 1972, the university dropped Redskins. Utah tried to shift to the Crimson Warrior - a Caucasian horseman dressed in Indian costume in the 1980s. In 1996, the Crimson Warrior was replaced by Swoop, a red-tailed hawk. In 2006, the NCAA sanctioned universities that used hostile racial/ethnic mascots. Utah continued to use the feather and drum icons but vowed to phase them out. Utah's helmets, which used to be a U in a circle with two feathers on the side are slowly being replaced by alt-helmets - the most common being a double-U

As I bring my eyes down to the penultimate choice, that polling list makes me want to do a u-turn. Nausea inducing.
