The Ibis has been the best mascot imaginable. John Routh made the Ibis the most famous. Here at two links about the Ibis. In another link of memorabilia notice that the Ibis has a pipe and sailor hat in the older items. I was not able to find when the pipe was excluded, perhaps someone remembers.

You didn't hear?

Ibis Virus is IN.

Shut the country down for next 3 years because somebody got the sniffles.

John Routh led the charge to get rid of the pipe. This article from Dec 92 says he was successful.

Interesting. The school must have had a sh-t ton of left over supplies then. My freshman year at school (1997) the weekly planner I bought at the on-campus bookstore had the pipe. It was only when we darkened the shades of Orange and Green (which was also that same year, I believe. I know it happened while I was still roaming campus as a youngster) that the pipe went away on basically everything at that store. I always thought the pipe removal was part of the color change. Guess not.

It was probably just that they specified no pipe on any contracts going forward. Maybe they had a 5 year contract.

My avatar agrees with yours.
