Their history is a bit weird but there's little reason to actually care. They started out as the Normalites, which everyone agreed was stupid, so they had a contest, with Pioneers and Hurons being the top choices. One of the students who suggested the name did so because he worked at the Huron Hotel. Decades later the state government spent a bunch of money on a civil rights commission to find things to be angry about, which included using Native American names on things.
The university committee on renaming things to offend white girls less came up with three choices: Green Hornets, Express, or Eagles. The obvious choice of Emus was never given any serious thought. A couple decades later, band dorks, being band dorks, thought it would be edgy to wear the old Hurons logo on their uniforms but being cowardly band dorks, the logos were hidden inside the uniform sleeve where no one could see them. Also being band dorks, they couldn't keep a secret so word got out and the professionally offended pounced into action.
It's too bad the Huron tribe has a bunch of wampum up their asses and can't make a deal with the university like the Seminoles do with Florida State and the Utes with Utah. Unlike some schools like Stanford that had goofy Indian logos at times, EMU's Hurons logo always had been dignified, even if a bit lacking a chin.
