Title: Is Stanbot the new Washburn mascot?!?
Post by: paylor1970 on August 23, 2010, 01:41:57 AM

     Don't know if any of you noticed over the weekend (or why you would have), but Washburn decided to "revamp" their creepy old molester of a mascot, the "Ichabod".  Apparently, they decided to model the new Ichabod after none other than our very own Stan Weber, regally decked out in a tophat and some spiffy colonial attire.

Looks like they're shooting for some Wake Forest Demon Deacon mojo.

The Headless Horseman would be more intimidating, IMO.

Washburn's mascot, the Ichabod, honors the school's early benefactor, Ichabod Washburn, a 19th century Massachusetts industrialist. The original design of the studious-looking, tuxedo-clad figure was created in 1938 by Bradbury Thompson (ba '34), who became an internationally acclaimed graphic artist. Design wasn't Thompson's only consideration. To the stylized Ichabod the artist attributed the qualities of "...courage and enthusiasm, as shown by his brisk walk. He is democratic and courteous, for he tips his hat as he passes. Sincere in his search for truth and knowledge, he studiously carries a book under his arm..."

The Ichabod is without a doubt one of the more unusual mascots of any school in the nation. The unique nature of the symbol is a source of school pride which honors the heritage of Washburn University.

The resemblance is scary.

Stan should sue Washburn for intelectual property infringement.
