🦅Mascot: "Golden Falcons"

The Golden Falcons 🐾 are a pretty cool and unique mascot, and you might be surprised to know that more than one school rocks this name. Here are a few fun facts about them: First off, the Golden Falcons are not just any ordinary birds; they are symbolized by their speed and their shiny golden hues. At Felician University, for example, the Golden Falcons were chosen because no other school in the country had this name, making them stand out. The story goes that the first Director of Athletics, Bob Symons, added "Golden" to Falcons to make it special and to tie in with the historical imagery of St. Francis of Assisi, who is often depicted with a falcon. You can also find the Golden Falcons soaring high at Charles B. Aycock High School in North Carolina, where they combined the "Golden" from another school's mascot with "Falcons" to create this dynamic duo. And, if you're in Indiana, you might encounter more Golden Falcons per capita than anywhere else, as this mascot seems to be particularly popular there. So, whether they're flying fast or shining bright, the Golden Falcons are a mascot that embodies both speed and excellence 🐦 ⚡ ⭐.
