The Nebraska Cornhuskers gave its cartoon mascot an upgrade to make sure there were no associations between Herbie Husker and white supremacy.

In the original logo, Herbie Husker is making an "OK" gesture. Some over the last few years after connected the symbol to white supremacy – three straight fingers making a ‘W’ and the circle formed next to an extended finger make a ‘P.’

This is getting out of control

It’s a piece of 🌽 in overalls and a 🤠??

This is getting out of control

Big time out of control.

Someone should tell them this is prank, started by the /btards at 4chan. They wanted to see how much the libs would swallow - the answer is, they will believe anything.

I liked it when the 4chan people had liberal women shaving their heads.

The ok sign thing was lark started by some wise guys on reddit to spoof on the Ministry of Propaganda and they bought it hook, line and sinker.

Nebraska has a football team?

Over a 4chan lamp.

Democrats are evil.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Look at all the White Supremacists!

[Huskrrrr]

How about Herby raise a middle finger.

[Tzimisce]

Is someone going to fight this?

No?

Oh well..........

The prog don't want to know.

They want the claim of being offended.

The more their demands are met, the more outlandish the demands become.

Pointing this out results in progs having fits of uncontrolled rage, obscene language, accusations of razzzism, etc.

You know, like a two year old.

Why don’t people start promoting the idea that the peace sign and the hammer and sickle are white supremacist signs? When will this lunacy end? I don’t agree with Obama but I don’t think hes a white supremacist.

[MountainDad]

The douche bags down in Lincoln never cease to amaze me how stupid they are....

[Recompennation]

In Germany along the auto roadway an accusation of and the implication that you, given this sign, drive like an asshole.
This is woke stokin.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of. NBA and college basketball players routinely use the OK sign whenever they hit three-pointers (three fingers up) - are they all white supremacists too?

[the OlLine Rebel]

This is so absurd. The classic “OK” symbol.

IT’S NOT A THING, IDIOT COMMIES!

It’s like the word “gay” being appropriated - except in this case, no white supremacist ever appropriated the symbol!

[dangus]

Meh. Nebraska mascot making an OK symbol instead of an NE symbol was just too confusing.

[MinorityRepublican]

This is so absurd. The classic “OK” symbol.

Still is.
