Toledo says it will change mascot to Shrek if it gets 500K retweets

The University of Toledo appears ready to move on from Rocky the Rocket.

The school tweeted a picture of Shrek on Tuesday to announce that if the post gets 500,000 retweets, it will change its mascot from Rocky to everyone's favorite ogre.

Of course, Toledo would presumably need to get permission from DreamWorks - the company behind the "Shrek" movies - before it could adopt the green character as its new mascot.

Rocky, pictured below, was first introduced as Toledo's mascot during the 1966-67 academic year by the Spirits and Traditions Committee.
