In the United States, most universities and colleges that sponsor athletics programs have adopted an official nickname for its associated teams. Often, these nicknames have changed for any number of reasons, which might include a change in the name of the school itself, a term becoming dated or otherwise changing meaning, or changes in racial perceptions and sensitivities.
Generally, athletics are mainly branded by their common name, meaning words like "University of" or "College" are usually omitted and only the unique name elements are used. For example, the University of Minnesota is only known as "Minnesota", San Diego State University as "San Diego State", and so on.
