Hey there Let's talk about a unique mascot that's more of an object than an animal or person: the Peace Pipe. This mascot is associated with Western Michigan University (WMU) and has a pretty cool history. Back in 1967, the WMU Senior Class President, Rick Markoff, and an instructor named Terry Moore created a giant, six-foot-long peace pipe as a traveling trophy for the WMU-Miami football games 🏆. This peace pipe, carved from wood and decorated in the colors of both schools, symbolizes goodwill and friendship between the teams. It's not something you'd typically think of as a mascot, but it's definitely one of the most distinctive and meaningful ones out there. So, the next time you hear about a peace pipe mascot, you'll know it's more than just a symbol – it's a piece of tradition and friendship.
