Cardinal Moment

A worthy symbol, the redwood.
It is resilient, strong and long-lived.

Stanford's athletic teams are called the Cardinal, a reference to the university's signature shade of red, not the bird. The color "Cardinal" became the official school color in 1893. While Stanford has used the "Indian" nickname in the past, it was later changed due to its controversial nature. The Tree, a redwood, is the unofficial mascot, not the official team name.
