Devils?

Well, denial of its existence is one of cuts main goals

But I would not even allow my kids to attend a school whose mascot is a devil much less root for the team

Un believable

Our mascot was the “Red Devils” and we thought nothing about it being connected with Hades. It derived from a term that came about after a practice session played on a red clay field in the early 1930s. Someone on the sideline said “Look at those little red devils.” Someone who heard the remark thought the term “Red Devils” would make a great mascot name and it did.
