🧑‍🤝‍🧑Mascot: "Dutch"

Hey there Let's talk about the Dutch mascot, which is pretty cool, even if it's not as flashy as some other mascots. The Dutch is a person-based mascot, and it's used by a couple of schools, notably in Iowa. This mascot has its roots in the Dutch heritage of the areas where these schools are located. For example, Hope College in Michigan, which has a strong Dutch influence due to its founding by Dutch immigrants, uses a similar nickname like the "Flying Dutchmen," but the straightforward "Dutch" mascot is more about honoring the cultural heritage rather than having any specific attributes like a ghost ship or superhero powers🛡️. It's a nod to the hardworking and resilient people from the Netherlands, which is pretty awesome. So, if you're ever at a school with this mascot, you're celebrating a rich cultural history ⭐
