Why is that dumb?

Because you keep talking about going from a name as admittedly bad ass as Rebels to freaking Neon. This is the kind of thinking that produced your crappy, discarded new logo.

We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

You still haven’t convinced me of anything.

You can't use a name/title/occupation of any people or you're just setting yourselves up for criticism and outcry at some point in the future.

UNLV should stick with an animal mascot. Everyone loves animals.

Why not use an animal native to the Las Vegas area as the next mascot? How about Rhinos?

Just to be clear...

Quote

He wrote that UNLV will continue to be known as Rebels as he "always viewed the term Rebels as a strong, nationally recognized brand synonymous with UNLV."

 

Quote

Tuesday, Whitfield's letter continued that UNLV will be joining other universities without a mascot such as Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Central Michigan.

They should go for an original name like the Cougars, Wildcats or Aggies. 

Or better yet, perhaps they can copy the colors and mascot of an NFL team. :lol:

 

 

Or come up with a color and mascot so cool the NFL copies you!  Like Denver copied Boise.

Coyotes.  They're native to the area.  And coyotes are kind of like little brothers to wolves.  You know, not nearly as scary or intimidating as wolves, really kind of cute and funny, although they can be kind of annoying, with all the yipping and whining they do.

I propose a MWC Board contest.  UNLV needs a new nickname and mascot.  Let's hear the possibilities.  Winner gets a cool pair of socks or something (nylons for @ph90702).

I'll start with the "Pole Dancers" because it's pretty stupid and a bad entry, but somebody was gonna' say it, so I got it out of the way.

I freely gave 2 of them a grand a piece once.

They’ll still be the Rebels. 

For now. You think the cancel/PC culture forces behind killing HeyReb are going to just settle with that? That's not how they operate. They delete one thing, then move on to the next. This started from a measly 3,000 signature petition which if you combined the Rebel Athletic Fund Donations from all 3,000 signees, it would be $0. 

UNLV will stay the "Rebels" for a few more years cuz the Tark era ancient boosters and season ticket holders clinging to life would shit their Depends and pull their donations if they changed it now. Once they're gone, so is the Rebels name.

In 2019, Native American UNLV students pressured the school to remove the Hey Reb! statue to create a welcoming atmosphere for Indigenous people. Ryan Boone, a member of the Walker River Paiute tribe, told the Las Vegas Review Journal the statue is hostile to Native Americans like him.

“On a campus that’s supposed to be ‘different, daring and diverse,’" he said, "we have this statue of an Indian killer." 

HeyReb killed Indians? lol These people don't live in reality. Getting rid of UNLV's mascot/name/tradition/history is just a feather in the cap to shitstains like this kid who don't even care about UNLV. The people like us fans/alumni who actually care/support UNLV lose our mascot and team name and this kid will bolt Las Vegas/UNLV the moment he gets his taxpayer funded degree.
