🧑‍🤝‍🧑Mascot: "Big Reds"

While the term "Big Reds" might sound straightforward, it's actually associated with a few different contexts, but let's focus on one of the most unique ones. However, the "Big Reds" you're likely thinking of isn't a person, but rather a name that was once used by Lansing Sexton High School in Michigan. The interesting part is that there's another notable "Big Red" that's quite different. This one is from Western Kentucky University and is a lovable, red, furry blob named Big Red. Created by Ralph Carey in 1979, Big Red is the spirit of WKU, symbolizing the energy and enthusiasm of the students and alumni. It's known for its belly slide and belly shake moves, and it's neither male nor female, just a fun, amorphous mascot ⭐. So, while "Big Reds" as a name might be changing in some schools, Big Red at WKU remains a beloved and iconic figure 🏆.
