When it comes to unique school mascots, the Tree stands out, and not just because it's a plant – which is pretty cool on its own. The most famous Tree mascot is probably the Stanford Tree from Stanford University. This isn't your average tree; it's a costume worn by a member of the university's marching band. The Stanford Tree was born out of a debate over mascots back in the 1970s and has since become an iconic symbol of school spirit 🐦. But Trees as mascots aren't exclusive to Stanford. Interestingly, the Tree is used by about 35 schools across the USA, and it's particularly popular in Vermont. It's a nod to the natural beauty and environmental consciousness that many schools want to highlight. So, next time you think of a mascot, remember that sometimes it's not about fierce animals or powerful objects, but about celebrating nature and what makes your school special 🏆.
