After sifting through 700 submissions by students they have narrowed it to three...
Arkansas State Express Train (no joke)
Arkansas State Ridgerunners
Arkansas State Red Wolves

Maybe one day the "express train" can make a stop in faytown...
John, I was first team All-State. I can put the ball anywhere I want to. I'll make it rain out here.

Petrinos Pigs

I was hoping that they would've done better than those names.

Its all about feel. It took years of training. Very rarely have I had to go back in for mop-up duty.

Duke of Buckingham

I really thought they should stick with Indians, add "fighting" to the front of the name and be the "Fighting Indians".

Then instead of Injun Joe, they could use a picture of Ghandi.

Arkansas State could be a tribute to all the contract programmers and hotel desk clerks in the country.

It would surely boost their foreign entrollment.

Their defensive starting unit could be the "Passive Resistance". Kind of like "Blackshirts" only better.

Great sideline mascot, a guy dressed up like Ghandi. A lot better than that silly Buckeye.

I'm disappointed.

Guinness Snout

I think they should go back to their original mascot "The Gorillas" ;D

Yet another reason why I've always been a Razorback fan, although I went to ASU, after failing 5 hours on the Hill.

This is embarassing to the state of Arkansas, IMO. Woo Pig Sooie!

i did this with a minor league basketball team i know the Arkansas State part looks rough but it would be a good logo

I was hoping for the Ivorybilled Woodpeckers.

They would have made millions....using 'Peckers as a mascot.

Guinness Snout

'Peckers as a mascot is pretty brilliant.  As person with a Native American bloodline I have no problems with The Indians.  But' If they had to change it I would still go with GORILLA's.  And, I know it's not on the list but I still like it.

or they could spell it Geurilla for a military spin on it

The real Hogules

I kind of like the ASU Express Train.

Then they could still call themselves "The Engines"! LOL

Take THAT NCAA! ;)

The Wanna Bees.

I even submitted ideas for a logo and cheerleader outfits.



Little known fact, but prior to settling on Guantanamo, the Pentagon wanted to house terror suspects at War Memorial Stadium.  It was deemed to be cruel and unusual punishment and in violation of the Geneva Convention.

Most people with Indian Heritage had no problems with it. The issues came from a politically correct few that have the power to make it hard on the rest of us.

Just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they weren't here. They used to be very widespread throughout the southeast before they were targeted for extermination. Arkansas held a very high population of red wolves.

SteveInArk

IUCN Status: Endangered
Pure red wolves are thought to be extinct in the wild.

Threats to Surival: Three problems threaten the future of red wolves - the loss of habitat, the hunting of wolves, and red wolves mating with coyotes.     ???

A fact that may be of use in the midst of  Forum verbal battles with ASU fans.   ;)

Yeah but get ready to hear "Come on Ride The Train" at every ASU sporting event, and on every radio station in Jonesboro.

If this is the best they can come up with, then they shouldn't complain about being relegated to mid-major status.

Good point. LSU Tigers . USC Trojans (oh wait, they were after the condom, weren't they). Mich St. Spartans.

They should just leave it the Indians. The whole point in changing is not about offending people, its about being allowed to be in the postseason, and they're not gonna get there anytime soon.

I'm so tired of the PC movement in America today.  I will say though I like the Ridge Runners name a little better than all of the rest just because of the area and Crowley's Ridge.

Express Train?  What, will Don Cornelius be the conductor?

I like Red Wolves, but just because my suggestion of the Swarming Bagworms never made it to committee.

How about they call themselves 'Off Constantly'?

Then their opponents can say "We beat ...."

You must not realize how silly, redneckish the "Woo Pig Sooie" is looked at around the US.

Arkansas State's new mascot?.......who cares, they'll probably change it again in a few years.

I think Ridge Runners is cool, out of those three, and at least there is some local significance.  And there is some originality.  I always felt it was stupid that out of 12 SEC teams there are two Bulldogs and two Tigers.
Advice for reading posts on Hogville:  Think about how stupid the average person is.  Then, remember that half of the people are more stupid than that.  So relax and take it easy on 'em.

Here is a T-Shirt idea for them.




"Engineering a come back" since 2008.

Smokehouse

go with Express Train and play "love train" during the games. If nothing else, fans can picture the Coors Light train when they hear it.

I liked the Ridgerunners also.  Jesse Duke can be the mascot while the cheerleaders can be dressed like Daisy Duke.

They used to be here.  Extinct now.  Much like the "Razorback," you know.

Natedog39

The ASU Red Wolves seems to be the best choice of the three, but I think they are all ridiculous.  Is that the best the ASU big whigs could come up with? 

East Clintwood

I still think they should go with the Arkansas State Censoreds

Their logo could be a tomahawk with a big "Censored" stamped across it.
