>Stanford would be well-advised to take a look at the mascot of Plattsburgh >State. Plattsburgh's Cardinal looks very sharp on their jerseys and t- >shirts. Doesn't matter that Stanford is "The Cardinal" (no "s") and >Plattsburgh is the Cardinals, it would still go well with the nickname. The Stanford Cardinal is actually the *color* not the bird. Whenever Stanford games are on TV the announcers always make a big deal about it. Doesn't Stanford now use a tree as their logo? Didn't they used to be the Indians before they became politically correct?
