Rhode Island School of Design is a leader in many fields, but not so much when it comes to sportsball. Except we have the BEST mascot - [Scrotie!](https://bellyupsports.com/2020/08/mascot-madness-rhode-island-school-of-design-risd/) ---

Except we have the BEST mascot - [Scrotie!](https://bellyupsports.com/2020/08/mascot-madness-rhode-island-school-of-design-risd/) There is an Italian family named [Colleoni,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colleoni) whose coat of arms has 3 inverted hearts. “Inverted heart” is a Victorian-era euphemism. Their medieval ancestors blazoned it “3 scrotums”. ---
