TU Spirit
Naming
of the Golden Hurricane
In 1922, the team started working out in the fall with a new nickname "Yellow Jackets." In the past, Tulsa had been named "Kendallites," "Presbyterians," Tigers," "Orange and Black," "Tulsans," and, of course, "Yellow Jackets." Head coach Howard
Acher,
after a remark in practice about "roaring through opponents,"
had seriously considered "Golden Tornadoes." But a name check showed that Georgia Tech already had chosen that tag in 1917. From the tornado, he evolved the name meteorologically to the hurricane. A few days before the team left for a game against Texas A&M,
Acher
asked the squad to vote on the name "Golden Hurricane," the gold being added because of the color of their new jerseys.
