The Secrets Behind the ULM Sports Team Mascot's Success

By admin

The University of Louisiana Monroe (ULM) sports team mascot is Ace the Warhawk. Ace represents the university's athletic teams and is a symbol of pride and unity among students, alumni, and fans. The Warhawk is a powerful and aggressive bird of prey, which reflects the competitive nature and fighting spirit of ULM's sports teams. The choice of a Warhawk as the mascot also has historical significance, as ULM was originally founded as a flight training center during World War II. The Warhawks were the nickname given to the fighter pilots who trained at the university, and it has since become a symbol of honor and bravery. Ace the Warhawk is a beloved figure on campus, often seen at sporting events, pep rallies, and other university functions.

  • When I was a kid, I grew up in the country. Fletcher, Vermont to be specific. I have some of my most vivid memories, attached to scent, growing up there. My childhood wasn't perfect, but until I was 10, it was pretty damn good. My parent's, my older brother, and I grew up in a 3 story converted farmhouse with more acres of woods than I can even fathom owning now. In the winter, our backyard was an Evergreen lover's paradise. We had towering and majestic, 100+ year old trees all over our property. My winters' smelled like fresh snow, pine cones, pine needles, and wood stoves. To this day, whenever I smell someone's wood stove, I breathe it in as deeply as I can. Mmmmm. childhood.
  • Mike and I have only had one real tree in nearly seven years together. My old apartment had an open floor plan and high ceilings, perfect spacing for a Christmas Tree. I'll never forget how Mike decorated our beautiful tree with Jason Varitek baseball cards. Jason Varitek was the captain of the Red Sox, and I always lusted after him. Maybe it was the beard. ANYWAY, obviously I have amazing memories tied to the smell of REAL Christmas Trees. Sadly, our current apartment just doesn't have room to house one. I read nearly all the reviews for "Christmas tree" scented candles on Yankee Candle's website. They all sounded similar, with just a few notes different. Many reviewers said the same thing: "this smells like REAL Christmas tree!". It's hard to choose ONE scent out of the many, many offered. I finally settled on Magical Frosted Forrest because the name reminded me of the winter woods, out in the country. Could it really smell like Fletcher?
  • On cold sniff, I smelled almost a minty top note, along with a fairly authentic pine/pine cone middle. Then the fragrance is easily overwhelmed with Eucalyptus, tickling your nose and getting caught in your throat like Vick's Vapor-Rub. Finally, there was just a hint of a clean, soapy fragrance, almost undetectable, but definitely there.
  • My immediate concern was whether this candle smelled like trees in a forest . I can confirm that this candle smells just like that. Less a "Christmas Tree" scent and more of a "surrounded by pine trees, walking in the forest, LOOKING for the perfect tree" experience. I hope that makes some kind of sense to you but I know not everyone grew up in New England. When the candle is burning, you smell much less of the Eucalyptus, and MORE of the softer pine/woods/snowy notes. If you are looking for something that smells like the tree itself, I would recommend checking out one of their other MANY scents, listed on the website. HOWEVER, if you want to smell what it feels like to slide down a hill with the other neighborhood kids in the country at Pat Root's house, with fresh snow and Pine Trees all around you, stock up on this candle! This is a seasonal scent, so supply is limited now, but I will DEFINITELY be repurchasing next fall/winter. The throw is very good, filling my living room, but not overwhelming. This particular scent is perfect for gift giving too, as I can't imagine many people would dislike the scent of a Magical Frosted Forrest!

1. John - 2/5
While I appreciate the effort to create a unique sports team mascot for Ulm, I am not a fan of the final design. The mascot looks more like a cartoon character than a fierce representation of our sports team. I believe that a mascot should inspire fear and rally our team to victory, but this design seems more suited for a children's show. I was really hoping for a mascot that would represent the strength and determination of our team, but unfortunately, this design falls short.
2. Jane - 3/5
The Ulm sports team mascot is definitely a creative concept, but it just doesn't resonate with me. The mascot looks a bit too abstract and doesn't capture the essence of our team's spirit and competitiveness. It seems like a random choice that doesn't have any meaningful connection to the city of Ulm or our sports teams. I think a more traditional and recognizable mascot would have been a better fit for our team, as it would provide a sense of familiarity and unity among the fans.
3. Alex - 2/5
I have to admit, I was disappointed with the Ulm sports team mascot. It lacks the charisma and personality that a mascot should have. The design feels generic and uninspired, and it doesn't make me feel connected to the team or excited for the games. I believe a mascot should be memorable and instantly recognizable, but this design just blends in with all the other forgettable mascots out there. I was hoping for something more dynamic and engaging, but unfortunately, this mascot falls flat for me.
4. Sarah - 2/5
I'm not a fan of the Ulm sports team mascot at all. It doesn't look intimidating or captivating, which is what I expect from a mascot. The design feels outdated and lacks the energy and excitement that our team needs to rally the fans. It's hard to get behind a mascot that doesn't inspire any emotions or create a memorable presence. I was looking forward to a mascot that would make me proud to be a supporter of the Ulm sports team, but sadly, this design doesn't deliver that.
