ITPC's HOLIDAY BLOW-OUT SPORTS MEMORABILIA AUCTION
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 1/10/2023
This wood carved mascot was part of the Anri college mascot series. It's of the Colgate Red Raiders*. It's an incredible looking pelican. It comes mint in its original box. The paper labels are still attached to the box and statue.
*Because of the Native American mascot, the school debated changing the name and mascot in the 1970s out of sensitivity to Native Americans. At that time the nickname was retained, but the mascot was changed to a hand holding a torch. In 2001, the administration acknowledged concerns that the adjective "Red" still had an American Indian implication, and the school shortened the nickname to the "Raiders" starting in the 2001-02 school year
