The History of Seattle's Mascots: From the Past to the Present

By admin

The Seattle mascot is an important symbol for the city, representing various aspects of its unique culture and spirit. Seattle, located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest region of the United States, is known for its stunning natural landscapes and vibrant city life. With its diverse population and progressive values, Seattle mascots reflect the values and characteristics that make this city so special. One of the most iconic Seattle mascots is the Seattle Seahawks mascot, Blitz. This fierce and energetic mascot embodies the passion and enthusiasm that Seattleites have for their beloved NFL team. Whether it's leading cheers at a game or interacting with fans, Blitz is an integral part of the game-day experience and brings a sense of excitement and pride to the crowd.

The seal is the university’s formal emblem representing our traditions of academic excellence, Jesuit education, and the dynamic opportunities afforded by our location.

History of the Seal

Seattle University has had a formal seal for more than a century. During this time the seal has evolved through three changes. Each change has increased the impact and clarity of the symbolism of the seal. The seal has also changed to reflect the evolution of the university from Seattle College to Seattle University. The origin of the original seal is not known, but there is some indication that it was designed by the late James Brogan, SJ, pastor of St. Joseph’s Church. Father Brogan was instrumental in designing the seal of Gonzaga University as well. Sometime before 1956 the seal was refined by Neil Meany, SJ. The current refinement of the university seal was designed by David Balzer, Seattle University’s creative director, and formally approved by Seattle University President Stephen V. Sundborg, SJ, in July 2003. The current seal was updated to reinforce the Jesuit tradition of Seattle University and to recognize the university’s location in the city of Seattle and the Northwest.

The Mariner Moose is known for his playful and mischievous personality, often seen entertaining fans with his dance moves and funny antics during games.

Seattle Central College has a new, old official mascot

The votes are in, and Seattle Central College students have chosen the new look for the college’s revived fighting mascot, the Seattle Central Tiger.

By a resounding majority, students chose an original design by one of their fellow students, Jerrald Morales. The design incorporates the image of a Bengal Tiger with an outline of the downtown Seattle skyline and the initials of the college.

Jerrald will receive $1,000 for his design, which will become the official look of the Seattle Central Tiger mascot for all college promotions and events. Jerrald is on his first year at the college and plans to study illustration at Seattle Central’s Creative Academy.

“I am glad to be a part of this opportunity and hope for the best that this design fits the recommendation of the school,” Jerrald said in his submission application.

“We are super excited we were able to provide an opportunity for the student body to democratically participate and select the mascot and logo that will represent the Seattle Central College community. We hope that in doing this, we can help build the cohesion of the SCC community,” said Michael Harris, Executive of Issues & Concerns officer with the Associated Student Council.

The design contest was sponsored and run by the Associated Student Council and student leadership.

Students submitted their entries over winter quarter, and a selection committee of students and advisory faculty and staff narrowed the choices to four. The runner up designs were submitted by Aivy Ha, Kaitlyn Rowe, and Long Thai.

The contest was designed to draw interest to the history and origins of Seattle Central College. The college sits on the site of the Broadway High School, which closed and evolved into the Edison Technical School after World War II. Broadway High School’s mascot was the Bengal Tiger.

Because of social distancing restrictions, the ASC has postponed the originally planned launch and student celebration until later in 2020. We will share more details soon.

Reviews for "Seattle's Mascots: A Symbol of Team Spirit and Unity"

1. Emily - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Seattle mascot. It lacked creativity and was just another generic animal costume. The design was uninspiring, and it didn't have any unique characteristics that would make it stand out. I expected something more fun and original from a city like Seattle. Overall, it was a major letdown for me.
2. Mike - 1 star - Seattle mascot was a total miss for me. It didn't represent the spirit of the city at all. I was expecting something that would reflect the vibrant culture and diversity of Seattle, but instead, we got a bland and forgettable mascot. It felt like a wasted opportunity to create something truly iconic and meaningful. I hope they reconsider and come up with a better design in the future.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I couldn't connect with the Seattle mascot at all. I found it more creepy than adorable. The design was overly cartoonish, and it didn't have any appeal to me. I think they could have done a much better job in choosing a mascot that would resonate with both children and adults. It just didn't capture the essence of Seattle for me, and I was left feeling underwhelmed.
4. John - 2 stars - The Seattle mascot was a missed opportunity to showcase the creativity and quirkiness of the city. It was a safe and predictable choice, which didn't do justice to the vibrant and unique culture of Seattle. I was hoping for something more imaginative and unconventional. Overall, the mascot felt like a generic mascot you would find in any other city, without any special connection to Seattle. It was a disappointment for me.
