First St. Cloud State President Earl Potter rolled out his school's new branding campaign.
Now Minnesota State University - Moorhead takes its own shot at getting a new look, The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead reports.

Scorch need not fear, however. He'll still be used for sports. (You can check him out on a mast here.)
