I am afraid to do a Google image search for "blue hose" on this work laptop. 😛
But I'm trying to imagine that mascot! I'm assuming that "hose" means socks or stockings, but one can't be too careful!

The nickname “Blue Hose” began in the early 1900’s, when sportswriters referred to the Presbyterian College athletic teams as the “Blue Stockings” because of the blue socks they wore. Writers used the terms “stockings” and “hose” interchangeably over the years.
They often shortened “stockings” to “hose” in newspaper headlines.
Coincidentally enough, former college PR guy Ben Hay Hammet’s 1982 centennial history of PC noted that blue-stocking Presbyterians also referred to “Presbyterians with strong puritan leanings.”
“At any rate,” Hammet wrote, “the sports nickname was shortened to ‘Blue Hose’ in 1954- presumably under the assumption that it sounded somewhat fiercer to carry onto the field of athletic battle.”
The student body adopted the nickname as the official school nickname in the 1950’s.
“Blue Hose” has survived all these years, taking on even more meaning. Today the name signifies fierce Scottish warriors, further adding to Hammet’s take on the term. This interpretation also reflects the college's Scottish heritage.

Imagine having a daughter play sports there, or be a cheerleader or something, and you have to tell your friends shes one of the blue hose
Where's The Bobber when we need him. I'm sure he has a tale to tell about some blue stocking tail.

@barkeep-1967 I'm still trying to figure out which Pinckneyville twins he was referring to a few years ago.

I dont know if this is the place for this but here it goes. In the space of 13 months Mullins and crew have made us competitive in the valley again rebuilt the roster not once but now twice all the while maintaining an eye on class balance not to mention the development and improvement of the team last year until they got tired. I have full belief in what they are doing cant wait until Nov go DAWGS. Also we are going after recruits and beating our rivals for these thanks for listening
