The Marquette Gold....seriously?

Marquette University was in discussion of what their athletics name should be. They changed their name to the Golden Eagles in 1994. Before that they were the Warriors, they originally changed their name because of pressure from Native Americans. I personally like the Golden Eagles name, there is a certain prestige and pride that comes with an eagle and the golden is in there so they could keep their original colors. Well Marquette completely disagrees with me and felt the name was boring, so they decided to change it. There was pressure from alumni to change it back to the Warriors and a bunch of alumni offered a million each to change it back, but the president quickly rejected the offer. The Marquette community lacked excitement to keep the Golden Eagles so that went out. So clearly they called Syracuse University and asked what they should do, and Syracuse said "Hey why have a real mascot you can cheer for, just make it a color." So thats what they did and they will forever be known as the Marquette Gold. Maybe it's just me but NAMING A TEAM AFTER A COLOR IS THE DUMBEST PRACTICE EVER. Seriously how can someone be proud of just a color, I need a mascot to cheer for. "But Jared," some moron will ask me "what about the Cincinnati Reds and the Cleveland Browns Wll first of all the Reds are 121 years old and the Browns 60 years old so that alone should be reason enough, but for the slower people in class the Reds used to be the Red stockings and they shortened the name. The Browns had a contest to see what they should name the team and many of the submissions had Browns in honor of extremely popular coach Paul Brown. So both had a reason and they are a combined 181 years old. So lets stop being dumb and put a stop to having colors as the team representative. I'd rather have a stapler as the representative then be the Penn Maroons.
