FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

University of South Florida Announces Plans for New Mascot to Elevate Game Day Experience

Tampa, FL - Aug. 15, 2023 - The University of South Florida is excited to announce its decision to replace the current mascot, Rocky, in a move aimed at enhancing the overall game day experience and raising the university's profile. The decision comes after careful consideration and the recognition of an opportunity to invigorate school spirit and engage fans in an even more dynamic way.

Vice President of Athletics, Michael Kelly, expressed his enthusiasm for the change, stating, "A new mascot is a pivotal step in elevating the excitement of our game days. We believe that an updated and energetic symbol will better resonate with our fans, players, and alumni, fostering a stronger sense of unity and pride. This change aligns with our commitment to providing an unforgettable experience for everyone who attends our sporting events."

University President, Rhea Law, also shared her thoughts on the decision, saying, "A fresh mascot is more than just a symbol - it's a representation of our university's values and spirit. As we embark on this journey to introduce a new mascot, we anticipate that it will not only revitalize our athletic events but also contribute to raising the profile of our institution on a broader scale. We look forward to the positive impact this change will bring."

The university has engaged prominent consulting firm ProSpect Sports Consultancy to assist in the creation of the new mascot. After an extensive design process, five unique mascot designs have been developed. Now, the fans are invited to play a vital role in shaping the university's new identity by participating in the mascot selection process. A voting platform has been set up where fans can cast their votes for their favorite mascot design.

"We value the input of our fans and community members, and we want them to be part of this exciting transition. Their voices will play a crucial role in determining the face of our university moving forward," Vice President Kelly added.

The voting period is set to commence on August 22 and will run until September 11. Fans, students, and alumni are encouraged to visit the university's official website to cast their votes and contribute to this transformative change.

It’s a farce. Rocky has been on ESPN, won national titles in Cheerleading. Stop this now.
