Though not officially recognized by the administration, the students of The University of South Alabama maintain a multi-sport battle cry "South in your Mouth." It is used widely across the school, though primarily heard in reference to football and basketball.
USA formerly used Lady Jaguars for its women's teams, but by the 2012–13 school year, only the women's basketball team was using "Lady Jaguars", and starting with the 2013–14 school year, that team also became simply the Jaguars.
