Reply to comment by rokman in TIL that St. John's University's sports teams formerly being called the Redmen actually referred to the team wearing red uniforms and not Native Americans as often interpreted. Regardless, the mascot name was changed to the Red Storm in the 90s. by J_S_M_K

They probably felt it wasn't worth the trouble. Besides, Red Storm is a way cooler name anyway.

Should have gone all Mccarthy and changed it to the Red Menace.

That is also a cool name. I like Red Storm better, though.
