No more Blackbirds or Pioneers-the new D1 LIU mascot will be the Sharks.

BLACKBIRDS was better.

Yes, very unique. And at the same time that they took the Sharks name, so did Long Beach State.

Actually 5 schools, MIAMI DADE, NOVA SOUTHEASTERN, SIMMONS UNIV and LANDMARK as well as LBSU use Sharks. BLACKBIRDS was only LIU. Anyone looking an unusual mascot ?

Blackbirds--one of my favorite team names. Shoot creativity in the head will you?

Re: LIU names new mascot

Well, just checked that the other finalists were Eagle and Falcon. WTF kind of creative void do they have? Did someone pay a consultant to trash a perfectly good name and come up with this tripe?
