How were they not named the Crimson Tide, Red Elephants or the Bears?

Threat of legal action from Alabama nixed Crimson Tide and elephants. They can't be the Bears because Tuscaloosa's 1979 federal desegregation order banned the city from ever again using the mascots or colors of the old Druid City High Dragons or the Tuscaloosa High Black Bears.
