When I was a kid, our little town was finally opening a second high school. They had us current high schoolers nominate and vote on the new high school’s mascot.
We were the Broncos, our drill team was the Fillies.
The admins vetoed the mascot that won a landslide victory: Bulldogs.
So they overturned the students’ vote and probably pissed off every high school student, undermined everyone’s trust, so they could veto… Bulldogs? What was so bad about Bulldogs?

Yep, we all felt the same. Though, the motivation for the landslide victory was Broncos/Fillies, Bulldogs/removed
Instead of a typical bulldog, they should’ve tried a bull-dog

It’s also been featured in movies and TV Shows. Basically, it’s the most generic mascot you could possibly have.
