What is your uni's mascot....

A non academic question....

Not sure how the UK system is, but US universities have mascots. Does you uni have an official mascot? If so what is it? Does it have a name? I know that LSE's mascot is the beaver.

US examples

UC Berkeley Golden Bears - Oski the Bear
UCLA Bruins - Joe Bruin (Bear)
UC Davis Aggies - Gunrock (Mustang)
Stanford Cardinal - The "Tree"
UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs
UC Irvine Anteaters - Peter (Anteater)
Occidental College Tigers - Oswald (Tiger)
Washington Huskies- Harry Husky (Husky Dog)
Yale Bulldogs
Princeton Tigers
Notre Dame Fighting Irish - The Leprechaun

Is UCL a law/crimilogy uni then, or good at it?

I don't think we here at Pompey have a mascot - we have a colour tho, everything's purple

They made quite a show of the wooden cabinent where they've stored his preserved body, when they showed me around UCL. I also heard how his body would be brought out at official functions so that his eccentric prescence would live on?! And about the artificial substitute head after some students at KCL played rugby with his head...*shudders*...
We do have mascots for most big sporting teams, and mascot rivalry can be quite funny :smile: But uni-wise, nothing really... some unis have a colour or colour scheme.

Hehe, and Oxbridge colleges really go for it in terms of college colours! Takes a while to learn what's what, but what with scarves, splashtops and not to mention blades (oars), you can't help learning.

Yellow Fire!

(No mascots though)
