⚔️Mascot: "Scarlett Knights"

The Scarlet Knight is an awesome and unique mascot that represents Rutgers University in New Jersey, not Rhode Island, but it's still pretty cool This mascot is a person dressed in scarlet armor, riding a white horse, and wielding a lance 🛡️ - it's like something out of a medieval legend. The Scarlet Knight was chosen in 1955 after the previous mascot, the Chanticleer (a fighting bird), was seen as too similar to a chicken. The name "Scarlet Knight" was picked through a campus-wide vote, beating out other contenders like the Queensmen and the Red Lions. This tough-sounding mascot embodies bravery and strength, making it a formidable symbol for Rutgers' athletic teams. So, if you ever see the Scarlet Knight at a game, you'll know you're in for an exciting and spirited event 🏆
