New mascot to join Rocky will debut at 2011 Music Fest on Aug. 31

UT students, fans now voting to name mascot

Rocky may embody boundless school spirit, be friendly to a fault, and capture the imagination of thousands of excited Rockets fans with his mischievous antics and showy stunts, but even he can’t be two places at once.

To help Rocky reach a wider and more diverse audience, he will soon be joined by a friend to help promote a sense of unity and spirit in the UT community.

The new female mascot will be introduced to the University on Aug. 31 at the 2011 Music Fest prep rally.

UT community members and Rockets fans have the honor of naming the new mascot and can do so at http://www.utoledo.edu/mascot. Rank your favorites among the six proposed names listed on the website or suggest a new one. Voting will take place through July 31 and the name with the highest number of “Love” votes will be the new mascot’s name, which will be unveiled along with the mascot at Music Fest.
