Nigel,
I take it you aren't a Notre Dame fan, since they have the same little man as Chapman does.

It was Phillips University in Enid, OK and yes they were the P.U. Skunks. I went to Adams Elementary right across the street from Phillips and we were the "Flying A's" It was literally a letter A with wings.

These are all from Nebraska
Minden Whippets (basically a greyhound)
Ord Chanticleers (it is some fighting chicken)
Gothenburg Sweedes (Sweedish people)
