RHODE ISLAND – The Rhode Island School of Design may own the most bizarre name and mascot in sports after edging out the ‘Farts’ and ‘Whoopee’.

RISD proudly promoted their two men’s teams on its website which states, “RISD’s sports teams include basketball “The Balls” and ice hockey “The Nads”.

After the Nads hockey team was put in place, the basketball team was then formed under the name ‘Balls’ to stay consistent with the ice hockey team.

Each team developed its own slogan, the basketball team’s being, “When the heat is on, the Balls stick together”, and the hockey squad sticking with a more simple “Go Nads” that is found on their fan’s attire.

In 2001, an unofficial mascot evolved for The Nads and ran around the ice in what looked more like a late-night, prize-winning Halloween costume than mascot attire.

His name was “Scrotie” and he is pictured here on the ice in his wiener costume and red cape. 

Scrotie has since been given the shaft but will best be remembered for having the balls to screw with the opposition.
