Mascot [edit]

Origins of "Jayhawk" [edit]

The name "Jayhawk" comes from the Kansas Jayhawker liberty fighter and pro-Unionist militias during the Bleeding Kansas era of the American Civil War.

The origin of the term "Jayhawker" is uncertain. The origin of the term may go dorsum as far as the Revolutionary State of war, when information technology was reportedly used to draw a group associated with American Founding Father and patriot John Jay, who served in the American Revolution as well as the 1st Chief Justice of the United States as a member of the right fly Federalist Party.^[3]

The term became part of the lexicon of the Missouri-Kansas border in about 1858, during the Kansas territorial period. The term was used to describe militant bands nominally associated with the free-state cause. One early Kansas history independent this succinct characterization of the jayhawkers:^[4]

Confederated at beginning for defence force against pro-slavery outrages, just ultimately falling more than or less completely into the vocation of robbers and assassins, they have received the name – whatever its origin may exist – of jayhawkers.

Another historian of the territorial period described the jayhawkers as bands of men that were willing to fight, kill, and rob for a variety of motives that included defence against pro-slavery "Edge Ruffians", abolitionism, driving pro-slavery settlers from their claims of country, revenge, or plunder and personal profit.^[5]

In September 1861, the town of Osceola, Missouri was burned to the ground past Jayhawkers during the Sacking of Osceola.^[6] On the 150th anniversary of that event in 2011, the town asked the University of Kansas to remove the Jayhawk as its mascot.^[7] The university refused.

Over time, proud of their state's contributions to the terminate of slavery and the preservation of the Union, Kansans embraced the "Jayhawker" term. The term came to exist practical to people or items related to Kansas. When the University of Kansas fielded their beginning football team in 1890, like many universities at that fourth dimension, they had no official mascot. They used many unlike independent mascots, including a pig. Eventually, sometime during the 1890s, the team was referred to as the Jayhawkers by the student trunk.^[eight] Over fourth dimension, the name was gradually supplanted by its shorter variant, and KU's sports teams are now almost exclusively known every bit the Jayhawks. The Jayhawk appears in several Kansas cheers, most notably, the "Stone Chalk, Jayhawk" chant in unison before and during games.^[9] In the traditions promoted past KU, the jayhawk is said to be a combination of two birds, "the blue jay, a noisy, quarrelsome thing known to rob other nests, and the sparrow hawk, a stealthy hunter."^[10]

The link betwixt the term "Jayhawkers" and whatever specific kind of mythical bird, if information technology ever existed, had been lost or at to the lowest degree obscured by the time KU'due south bird mascot was invented in 1912. The originator of the bird mascot, Henry Maloy, struggled for over two years to create a pictorial symbol for the team, until hitting upon the bird idea. As explained by Mr. Maloy, "the term 'jayhawk' in the school yell was a verb and the term 'jayhawkers' was the noun."^[11] KU's electric current Jayhawk tradition largely springs from Frank Due west. Blackmar, a KU professor. In his 1926 address on the origin of the Jayhawk, Blackmar specifically referenced the blue jay and sparrow hawk. Blackmar'due south address served to soften the link betwixt KU'south athletic team moniker and the Jayhawkers of the Kansas territorial period, and helped explain the relatively recently invented Jayhawk pictorial symbol with a myth that appears to take been of even more contempo fabrication.^[12]

Costume mascots [edit]

Jayhawks Big Jay and Baby Jay are the costume mascots used by the University of Kansas.^[thirteen]

Another Jayhawk costume mascot was Centennial Jay, or C Jay.^[xiv] ^[15] C Jay was created by student cartoonist Henry Maloy and featured in the Academy Daily Kansan in 1912.^[16] Maloy's depiction of the Jayhawk helped answer the question of what the mythical bird would expect like. When asked why he gave the bird shoes Maloy responded, "Why? For kicking opponents, of course."^[16] C Jay was reintroduced as a full-sized mascot on February 25, 2012 in the final Border War confronting Missouri to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Jayhawk.^[17] C Jay was used only in 2012 for the 100-yr ceremony of the original Jayhawk design.^[17]

In the opening year of the war, six Missouri towns (the largest being Osceola) and large swaths of the western Missouri country side were plundered and burned past guerrilla "Jayhawkers" from Kansas. The Sacking of Osceola led to a retaliatory raid on Lawrence, Kansas two years later on known every bit the Lawrence Massacre killing between 185 and 200 men and boys, which in turn led to the infamous General Lodge No. 11 (1863), the forced depopulation of several western Missouri counties.^[32] The raid on Lawrence was led past William Quantrill, a Confederate guerrilla born in Ohio who had formed his bushwhacker group at the cease of 1861.
