The administration's recent attempt to rename the university's sports teams the "Marquette Gold" was met with protest demonstrations of students and alumni. Wordlab responded with a parody of this brouhaha, suggesting that Notre Dame's "Fighting Irish" were about to taboo change their name to the taboo "Gold and Blue" in a bold move to achieve political correctness.Marquette obviously hopes to end-run Notre Dame's claim to this colorful name by putting forward "Blue and Gold" as the taboo #1 name on the ballot in a binding referendum. Marquette University students, alumni, faculty, staff and season ticket holders will begin voting Tuesday in an online survey to select the school’s athletics nickname from this list of nickname choices and descriptions. In addition to the short list of approved names, there's a chance for some other name, except Marauders, to be selected from "write-in" ballots.To be counted, write-in nicknames must be consistent with the University's Catholic, Jesuit mission and the Board of Trustees' resolution forbidding Native American imagery and references.
