30 Best College Football Mascots of All-Time

26. Stanford Cardinal – Tree

No other school could have a tree for their mascot. Stanford pulls off the tree in large part because of the personalities that inhabit the Tree outfit and it changes a bit every year. It gets criticized for being boring but I think the tree is perfect for Palo Alto and Stanford.

Every year since 1975, a student has gotten inside the tree suit and brought excitement and a little wild side because it’s been banned from events for unruly behavior. One of the better reasons for what makes this mascot unique is that the Stanford Tree every year, is totally different and unique.

College football fans will never see the same outfit twice when it comes to the Stanford Tree and that is more than enough to get excited to see what they have come up with each year. Whether you love or hate the Stanford Tree, you’ll never forget it.
