I thought the tree was merely the band's mascot. Obviously that's the specific band member in the tree outfit. Still, I need to find a review of all the Stanford associated nicknames / mascots, etc -- Indians, Cardinal, Tree.

The tree has been used as a Stanford symbol for a long time. The tree has been on the university's seal since at least 1906.

A version of the Block S with tree goes back to 1931. The current version of the Block S with tree has been used by the university, including athletics, since the 1990s. There's a prominent Block S with tree on the outside of the stadium.
