The Marshall Thundering Herd mascot, Marco, is NCAA Division I pixel art mascot #81 of 352. Earlier this month, the newly redesigned Marco won the Conference USA Mascot Challenge. (View reference images.)
Note: It was 33 years ago today that Southern Airways Flight 932 crashed, killing all 75 people on board, including 37 Thundering Herd football team players and five coaches. The accident is widely considered to be the deadliest sports-related tragedy in U.S. history. The 2006 movie We Are Marshall depicts the aftermath of the plane crash. This 8-bit pixel art character is for my cousin Adam, a Marshall alum.
