I think I've mentioned this before, but when I arrived at Stanford as a freshman in the fall of 1980, we were the Cardinals. I think we had been the Cardinals for a few years, and I don't think it changed to Cardinal until my sophomore or junior year.

I believe the change took place your sophomore year. We created a "cheer" that went something like: "Go Cardinal! It's not the bird, it's not the sin, it's not the papal emissary. It's just the color. Go Cardinal!"
For some reason, it never really caught on.
