Description
Kansas fans
can show understandable pride in their mascot, the Jayhawk, which has one of
the most interesting histories of any US
collegiate mascot. Share in that tradition by owning your own University
of Kansas icon, the Stone Mascots' Jayhawk.
The Jayhawk is a mythical bird, half blue jay and half
sparrow hawk. If you were to insult someone in Kansas
in the 1850s, you would call him a ruffian or "jayhawker". In time, the term
was associated with patriotic Kansas
natives and when in 1890, the University
of Kansas football team needed a
mascot, it turned to the Jayhawk and the rest is history.
We present the current Jayhawk mascot (which was designed in
1946) in statue form, complete in vibrant KU blue plumage, crimson head, yellow
bill and of course, don't forget those yellow boots! He's also available in vintage and bronze finishes. Made of premium cast
stone, your Jayhawk will feel right at home, in your home. Order now and pay no
shipping fee.
