If you've ever wondered about some of the more unique school mascots out there, you might be intrigued by the Boxers. This mascot, while not as common as lions or eagles, has a rich history, particularly at Pacific University. The Boxers mascot originated from a 60-pound bronze statue that was brought back from China in 1898. This statue, which is a mix of a dog and a dragon, was named "Boxer" as a nod to the Boxer Rebellion. The name stuck, and by 1968, the school's athletic teams were officially known as the Boxers, replacing their previous nickname, the Badgers. Today, the Boxer mascot symbolizes school spirit and determination, and it's interesting to note that it's more popular per capita in New Hampshire, even though it's not exclusive to schools there 🛡️. So next time you hear about the Boxers, you'll know there's more to the story than just a name 🏆
