Being unique is an important part of what a university has to offer to its recruits. Each school has its own history, traditions and legends. Part of each school's unique atmosphere is the nickname chosen for its sports teams.
Some universities have almost willfully strange nicknames, such as the Banana Slugs of the University of California-Santa Cruz or the Little Johns of Penn State-Albington. Unique nicknames, however, aren't the exclusive domain of small colleges. Even some of the bigger schools have nicknames that may leave you scratching your head. Here are a few whose fabrics we carry.
