Ole Miss has had their fair share of mascot uncertainly over the past few years. They retired the problematic Colonel Reb mascot in 2003, finally replacing him with Rebel Black Bear in 2010. Then last fall, the mascot was again changed, this time to a Landshark. For more on this history, watch this snazzy video from our friends over at Red Cup Rebellion.
The move to the landshark will culminate at the annual “Meet the Rebels” day this weekend, where the official on-field landshark mascot is expected to be unveiled.
