I haven't read the link yet, but what is wrong with the word Tar Heel?
And GIB, don't retire your tomahawk chop yet. From what I've read, the Seminoles embrace FSU and love having their name used as the mascot. I'm going to look for the link now.

It's UNC story is hilariously inaccurate.
Any look at New Mexico's official logos will show you they mean the wolf.
The Jayhawk is a mythical bird.
Issues with the word Hoosier don't speak much to views of "white trash," as much as it does to narrow-minded views of people from Indiana.
I got this info from Wikipedia, which I read previously in a NYT article:
FSU was exempt as both the 3,100-member Seminole Tribe of Florida and the 6,000-member Seminole Nation of Oklahoma officially approved the relationship and the details of the images used. The article states, "The Seminoles are the only American Indian tribe never to sign a formal peace treaty with the United States. To celebrate this status, Florida State erected Unconquered, a statue of Chief Osceola outside its football stadium."
And honestly, depending on how it was done, I wouldn't have a problem with a school calling itself the Zulu or the Songhai - especially an inner-city charter school that NEEDS some healthy, royal images to live up to.
