Collegiate Team Logo Products: Mississippi - Ole Miss Rebels

Mascot History

The name Rebels as Ole Miss official athletic nickname emerged in 1936. Suggested by Judge Ben Guider of Vicksburg, it was one of five entries submitted to Southern sports writers for final selection from a list totaling more than 200 proposed nicknames. The promotion was a contest sponsored by The Mississippian, student newspaper. Of the 42 newsmen contacted, 21 responded. Rebels was the choice of 18. The University Athletic Committee made the name official with the Committee chairman, the late Judge William Hemingway, stating: "If 18 sports writers wish to use Rebels, I shall not rebel, so let it go Ole Miss Rebels." Two years later, the yearbook appeared as The Rebel Number with Colonel Reb making a new entrance as the publication's leading illustration. Colonel Rebelô has since become a near-official University insignia.
