Wichita State Shockers 1998 Mascot Tee
Back in Wichita Stateâs days as Fairmount College, students had a quintessentially Kansas side hustle to earn money: wheat harvesting, also known as shocking. Given the schoolâs football field made of wheat stubs and the Pep Clubâs nickname, the âWheaties,â it only made sense that football team manager RJ Kirk began calling the athletic teams the Wheatshockers. By the late 1920s, journalists picked up on the name, shortening it to âShockers,â and the school officially followed suit to formalize the unique nickname.
