Sigh...  True, but our mascot was a white husky for decades. The change to a more generic looking husky abandoned decades of tradition. Our former president Susan Herbst said that was done because there’s no such thing as a white husky. She was wrong.

If we were to redesign the Husky, I would hope we would return to using a white husky. UConn is the only school with a white husky as its mascot.
