2007 Stanford F o o t b a l l 205 Mascot & Nickname

There was a move to reinstate the Indian as the school mascot in 1975. The debate was put to vote along with new suggestions: Robber Barons, Sequoias, Trees, Cardinals, Railroaders, Spikes, and Huns. None of the suggestions were accepted. In 1978, another group comprised of 225 varsity athletes from 18 teams, started a petition for the mascot to be the griffin – a mythological animal with the body and hind legs of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. The University moved two grif- fin statues from the Children’s Hospital to a grassy area between Encina Gym and Angell Field. The campaign for the Griffins failed.

Stanford’s history with its nickname began on March 19, 1891, when Stanford beat Cal in the first Big Game. While Stanford did not have an official nickname, the day after the Big Game local newspapers picked up the “cardinal” theme and used it in the headlines. Stanford did not have an “official” nickname until Indians was adopted in 1930. For years prior, the Indian had been part of the Stanford athletic tradition. Perhaps it grew out of the fact that The official Stanford Seal features Cal’s symbol was the Bear, or it may have come from the large El Palo Alto (the tree) and a Indian population of the area, or from Indian paraphernalia in German phrase which translates abundance in the late 1800’s.
