Delta State Fighting Okra Vintage Varsity-Style Tee
In the 1980s and 1990s, Delta State students decided on a collective whim that the official Statesman mascot didnāt represent the spirit of the school. Rather than selecting a more serious mascot, the students had a sense of humor about their preferred school symbol; they selected the Fighting Okra ābecause okra is tough, green, and prickly.ā He entered the mainstream in the 2000s, after Delta State created an official marketing campaign around him and he was featured on the show Good Eats.
