Trojans. Gators. Banana Slugs.
The success of a college sports team is represented by seemingly inconsequential things - an animal, or a meteorological event, or whatever a Gorlock is.

And mascots? Well, it’s no secret that a university's athletic performance hinges entirely on the ferocity of its brand. Look no further than the Quakers for proof.

But let’s be honest, here: How many wildcat variations do we really need? Why all the bulldogs? And in what way could a buckeye possibly be intimidating?

In the spirit of BTS Week, it's time to give these misguided mascots a fighting chance.

Yup, it’s a chop game.

Rebrand a college team by creating an awesome new nickname, mascot, logo, or any combo thereof. Something Woot-oriented would be nice, but not necessary.

I'm keeping the guidelines real loose with this one. Just get creative, try to be funny, and prolly don’t do anything with a university whose name rhymes with “Zen Fate.”

You have until Friday to guide your team to victory, Coach.

I feel like the scent of laser-burned slug has to be something terrible.

well, we've had such a resounding and enthusiastic response to this chop [not-]contest, we've decided to give you through the weekend to post your ridiculous team mascots.

the winner will be spotlighted on monday. it's going to be pretty tough to narrow it down, but tune in after the weekend to find out who's the favorite!

congrats to mr no1! no1 dominated some fierce competition and won with the star trek banana slugs or whatever he posted!
