The Fighting Okra of Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi. Our mascot has gotten national attention from several people. He was featured on Alton Brown's show "Good Eats" as well as mentioned by David Letterman. The Statesman on the right is our official mascot, but everyone prefers The Fighting Okra! Delta State Statesmen a.k.a. Fighting Okra ** (Cleveland, MS) The story of how this hairy vegetable was adopted as a mascot begins in 1988, when a group of baseball players saw the Statesman mascot walk by and commented that the DSU mascot was not very intimidating. When going over options for a better idea, okra was suggested because it was green (a school color), Southern, and ugly. The baseball players began to chant "Okra, O-K-R-A," at basketball games along with "We're mean, we're green, we're the Okra Team!!" The idea took off after student newspaper reporters picked up on the idea and began to refer to the the DSU arena as the "Okra Dome." The mascot is a tough looking okra with a scowl on his face, boxing gloves and exaggerated shoes.
