My favorite species have crazy branchlike protruberances and are called sea dragons.

One of my favorite tees was a conference championship shirt that sported a roaring wildcat about a foot in width. It's great. Why are there no seahorse or sea dragon mascots? And what the heck is Brown's mascot anyway? Something lame and brown I'm sure. I think the last time I’ve worn an animal on my shirt was in college - we were the Wildcats (Davidson).

Yes, Brown's mascot is brown and is a bear. Though my alma mater is far from lame its mascot is far from being as visually interesting as a sea dragon would be. So shall it be the Brown Banshees or the Brown Piranhas? Lions and tigers and bears are all so typical. Yes, Brown’s mascot is brown and is a bear.

Definitively lame... but potentially even worse: The Flying Paintbrushes. The Immovable Clay. The Molten Glass. The Sharpened Serifs....

Reminicent of the tasteless Coed Naked and Big Johnson brands. I think you've got something with Sharpened Serifs though...reeks of danger. RISD sells shirts that read “Go Nads.” How jr high.

Two of the best...Salisbury University "Seagulls" (I was a proud cross country running Gull) and the University of Delaware "Fighting Blue Hens".

I was wearing the tshirt from my park district soccer team: The Tan Wombats. Honest. I think it was probably some parent's misguided attempt to educate us about the fauna of the Australian continent, but come on, a <a href="http://places.rnr.id.au/cradle_mountain/02_wombat.jpg" rel="nofollow">burrowing herbivorous marsupial</a>? And that most savage of colors: Tan? I understand that there are not many fierce carnivores in Australia, but the <a href="http://virtual.yosemite.cc.ca.us/ghayes/images/DSC03743%20Tasmanian%20Devil%20yawns%20b.JPG" rel="nofollow">Tasmanian Devil</a> did come to mind.
