There was a minor change to a logo to avoid a currently unsavory pop culture phenomenon, and if not for a press release no one would bat an eye. Herbie is still there, he's still a blonde hick in overalls, and he's still the main mascot. Maybe not directly, but don’t you think it’s an evolution of it? 1 Quote Link to comment

This isn't the same thing--do better and quit with the "whataboutism". The guy calling people out on “what-about-ism.” You’re a joke who can’t even understand sarcasm. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 God I hate that the easily woke crowd let an internet troll make this a real thing. So stupid. I'm actually more offended that Herbie is now giving the #1 symbol now when that's pretty clearly not been the case for 25yrs. Just false advertising. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Nor have things been "OK" so I think we're guilty of false advertising regardless of which gesture is used. 1 Quote Link to comment

Archy1221 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Seems to me that the marketing department could have switched the hand gesture without telling anyone or just saying they see looking for an update since it’s been awhile and #1 fits into what the athletic department is trying to achieve. It was a self inflicted wound by them to go out and say they were trying to stay ahead of some non racist hand gesture. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Honestly, I think the marketing department announcing this is best...kids these days want to go (play/work) for places that are pro-active in regards to things like this as opposed to silence 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Gage County Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I think we can all agree this is Bill Moos' fault. Quote Link to comment

Have her holding a corn cob making you wonder what she is going to do with it. Call her Hannah Husker. This is quite brilliant, but not replace - supplement. And to invoke rural vibes her name should be Haylie. Herbie & Haylie. Down the road they can have a fat baby boy swaddled in a red diaper with a white N on it. His name will be Husky. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hilltop Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Quoting one of our 22 year old black players... "This is just stupid. The Karen's need to shut the f up...". I think people from many walks of life are tiring of the BS in our society. However, I don't fault the school for making the change. Just wish it hadn't been announced. 2 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment
