Title: Is the Bull City hand gesture being rebranded for Duke Athletics? Should it be? #shorts
Date posted: 2 years ago
Description: The billboard, on I- 85 near the exit for Duke University, shows the Duke Blue Devil raising its hands, knuckles together and thumbs out. It’s an iconic gesture in the university’s hometown. But the devil mascot, in a “Bull City” headband, looks out at passing cars and offers a new take on Durham’s favorite hand gesture.
Duke fans and athletes love throwing up the horns, but, to many in Durham, that’s a difficult rebrand to swallow.
So Mary Helen asked fans at last weekend's football game, celebrating Durham Night, what the hand sign meant to them. #shortvideo #short #duke #bluedevils
