Colonel Reb
Colonel Reb is the former mascot of Ole Miss Rebels, the collegiate athletic teams of the University of Mississippi ("Ole Miss"). Designed in the 1930s, the figure served as the teams' official or near-official mascot from 1979 until 2003. He was replaced in 2010 with a new on-field mascot, the Rebel Black Bear.
==Origin==
While University of Mississippi historian David Sansing has stated that "Blind Jim () may have been the model for Colonel Rebel." This conclusion is not supported by other historical research. Accordingly, William F. Winter Professor of History, Charles Eagles, contends in his book "The Price of Defiance: James Meredith and the Integration of Ole Miss" that this is clearly not the case. Sansing cites "the late Frank Everett" as the sole basis for this conclusion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Colonel not exactly a longtime tradition )〕
Ivy was very much a part of the Ole Miss scene in 1936 when the editor of the school newspaper proposed a contest to produce a new nickname for Ole Miss teams, then known as The Flood. "The Rebels" was the choice of 18 out of 21 sports writers.〔 Rebels also won the contest sponsored by the ''Mississippian'', with Ole Massas—a term used by slaves to refer to their masters—finishing a close second, and the university's sports teams have since been known as the Rebels. Two years later, Colonel Rebel appeared for the first time as an illustration in the university yearbook.〔 This illustration was perhaps drawn by the art editor for the yearbook that year, Billy Hix.〔The Mississippian: That Famous Little Old Man, Colonel Rebel, Was Born 17 Years Ago in a State-Wide Contest, October 9, 1953〕 Hix often drew his depictions of the Colonel as a planter in an antebellum plantation setting.〔"The Rebel: The Magazine of Ole Miss, Homecoming Issue" Vol. 1, no. 2〕 It is also possible that Colonel Rebel was originally created by the Rebel Club a student group founded in 1937 shortly after the University had adopted the "Rebels" name and was responsible for the publication of ''The Rebel'' magazine which featured an image of the Colonel on its masthead that is identical to the one appearing on the 1937 Ole Miss yearbook.〔"The Rebel: The Magazine of Ole Miss," Initial Issue, September, 1939〕 Others may have also had a hand in revising and modifying the image of Colonel Rebel in those early years, such as campus bookstore owner Carl Coers and famous New Orleans cartoonist John Churchill Chase.〔The Mississippian: That Famous Little Old Man, Colonel Rebel, Was Born 17 Years Ago in a State-Wide Contest, October 9, 1953.〕
