As noted by USA Today, the Sugarbeeters were a natural choice for Chinook because of the town’s long history with sugarbeets. Chinook is one of the main producers of sugarbeets in the upper plains and the local high school wanted to pay homage to the crop that helps the student population survive comfortably.
Still, school officials realized quickly that sugarbeets aren’t the most fear-inspiring vegetable (perhaps that’s a redundancy? Are there fear-inspiring vegetables?), so it gradually introduced changes to the mascot’s appearance to make it more fierce.
