Oski – University of California, Berkeley

Okay, yes, Oski the bear from Berkeley is adorable but he’s also a little odd looking. What’s more surprising than a little cute, fake bear as a mascot is that the fact that Berkeley used to use live bears as mascots up until 1941. That’s madness!

Otto – Syracuse

Who wouldn’t want an anthropomorphic orange, wearing a large blue hat and blue pants as their school mascot? (Oh, is it just me?) Before Otto was born, there were other mascots, such as “The Saltine Warrior” and a Roman gladiator. In 1995, Otto was named the official mascot and it looks like he’s not going anywhere.
