Meet the Maroon Devils, a mascot that's as cool as it sounds This mythological mascot is all about being tough and fierce, just like the devilish legend it's based on. The story behind the Maroon Devils is pretty interesting; they were originally known as the Oilers with purple and gold colors, but during the Great Depression, the school switched to maroon because it was more affordable and ended up sticking with it. The "red" in Red Devils might even come from the red dirt devils that are common in the area, but over time, they settled on maroon to stand out. This color change made the Maroon Devils unique and has been a part of their identity ever since. So, if you're looking for a mascot that's both tough-sounding and steeped in local history, the Maroon Devils are the ones to check out. They're most popular in North Carolina, so if you're in the area, you might just run into these devils on the field or court 🏆 🛡️
