Ole Miss decided on Friday to do away with its Rebel the Bear mascot, announcing that a change to a Landshark mascot would happen before next year.

It’s the school’s third mascot change since 2003, when the Rebels got rid of the Colonel Reb mascot.

However, the fan base wasn’t too thrilled with the decision. It was, in fact, met with mostly apathy and confusion.

Here are some of the best responses from the announced mascot change on Friday afternoon:

The designs for the new mascot will be developed over the next few months, with an official mascot set to be revealed before the 2018 season.
