Recently I have taken to wearing sweatshirts over a shirt and tie. I like sweatshirts that are unusual. One of my favorites is one from Akron. Their mascot is called the Zips -- which refers to a kangaroo. I don't believe any other school has a kangaroo for a mascot, at least not in this country.
Here's Zippy at a game. He looks more lovable than fierce. I like friendly mascots.
Just yesterday I received another sweatshirt. This one is from the University of Vermont. Their mascot is a catamount.
Here's their mascot at a hockey game. A catamount is another name for a cougar or mountain lion. But catamount sounds so much better!
The only other school in the country to have a catamount as its mascot is Western Carolina University. This mascot even has a name. His name is Paws.
I am now searching for some more sweatshirts with really unusual mascots.
If you know of some, let me know.
Thanks for stopping by.

I remember on the Bill Cosby show Mr. Cosby always wore a sweater with a college logo. It is kind of neat. I bet you look spiffy.
I cannot imagine all the snow you have there. We are experiencing a very mild yet very wet January. It has been in the mid 50s. No sun just gray and rainy.
