You will be shocked to learn of the alt-universe Syracuse Orange in Japan
We’ve long thought we — the Syracuse Orange, Otto the Orange, our whole “orange” obsession — were unique in this world. Other schools wear orange, mind you (some of them poorly). But Syracuse’s use of an actual orange as a mascot and a full lean-in on the color and the fruit is something no one else does. Or at least... more
