Meet Sparky the Sun Devil, the mythological mascot of Arizona State University, but also a symbol that appears in various schools across the USA. This tough-sounding character has a rich history; originally, ASU's mascots were an owl and then a bulldog, but in 1946, students voted overwhelmingly to adopt the Sun Devil🔥. The name was chosen to stand out and reflect the school's unique spirit. Sparky, designed by Disney illustrator Berk Anthony, is a devil holding a trident, embodying the fiery and bold personality of the Sun Devils. While Sparky is most iconic at ASU, the Sun Devil mascot is also used by several other schools, particularly popular in New Mexico📍. So next time you hear about the Sun Devils, remember they're not just any ordinary mascot – they're a symbol of fierce school pride 🏆
