Simpson University Now The Red Hawks

New mascot replaces the Vanguard

General Sports News - (11/17/2004)

After a couple months of ballots and voting, the new mascot of Simpson University is the Red Hawk.

The Red Hawks mascot prevailed over the Pumas after several weeks of voting.

An official logo is in the works, but will likely take several months to complete taking into account student and staff imput.

School officials decided this summer to change the mascot name along with the school name change to a university.  It is a visual representation of the changes being made.

Over the next few months, uniforms, athletic chairs, the gym floor, and other athletics materials will reflect the change.
