History

Early nicknames were "Aggies" in 1911 (sometimes called "Farmers"), "Gorillas" in 1925, and then "Warriors" in 1930.

Indians (1931–2008)

The name "Indians" officially became the school's athletic nickname in 1931. Arkansas State officially retired the Indian mascot on February 28, 2008, during the last home basketball game of the season. The school retained the Indians nickname for the remainder of the 2007–08 school year.

ASU Indian Family

The ASU Indian Family was a trio of mascots for Arkansas State University. The family consists of Chief Big Track (named for a prominent Osage chief), an unnamed brave and an unnamed princess. It was one of the few trios of athletics mascots for a university. The choice was in honor of the

Osage Nation The Osage Nation ( ) ( Osage: 𐓁𐒻 𐓂𐒼𐒰𐓇𐒼𐒰͘ ('), "People of the Middle Waters") is a Midwestern Native American tribe of the Great Plains. The tribe developed in the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys around 700 BC along ...

and other local tribes on attire, dance and appearance. The various groups which restarted the tradition, including a former "Brave" and "Princess," were responsible for the creation of all outfits. The beadwork was done by the Cherokee as well as tribes from Texas. "The Indian Family maintains a stately and dignified persona, befitting the Indian tribes which once lived in this area, as the official mascot of Arkansas State athletics and they will still have a major presence at our game day events," said Lee. On June 18, 2007, Arkansas State's Mascot Review Committee unanimously approved a recommendation for Arkansas State to retire the "Indians" nickname and all Native American mascots and imagery. The time frame for finding a new mascot is yet to be determined. Chancellor Robert L. Potts promised a broad-based search to be guided by a Mascot Selection Steering Committee. The move for the name change comes in response to the NCAA's 2005 ban on ethnically or racially derogatory mascots at championship events. The Family served their last performance as mascots of Arkansas State University during the last game of the 2008 men's basketball season, during a mascot retirement ceremony at halftime.

Red

In 2003, Arkansas State University decided to make a new mascot, named Red, created by ASU's director of athletic marketing, Andrea Scott. "The spirit character began as a project to design a character that looks friendly, is unique, and is not an animal," Andrea said. "I was looking for something out of the ordinary that's presence could elevate spirit at ball games." "Red absolutely will not replace Arkansas State's official mascot, the Indian Family," said Dr. Dean Lee, ASU director of athletics. "Red was named because that was how he was perceived by the marketing analysis and research groups, which were children and youth," said Dr. Dean Lee, ASU's athletic director. He won many awards, such as:"Red" Places Fourth In National Competition - Arkansas State Athletics Official Web Site - ASUIndians.com

Red Wolves

On January 31, 2008, Arkansas State University's Mascot Selection Steering Committee decided to use the "Wolves" as a mascot. The Red Wolves was officially approved by the NCAA on March 7, 2008. The unveiling ceremony for the new Red Wolves logo was held March 13, 2008. The university planned on doing a slow phase out of the Indian imagery on the Arkansas State University campus. Dr. Dean Lee, the university's athletic director at the time, announced the Indian imagery would be phased out by importance, meaning the most visible sports would have the Red Wolves imagery first. Also, as part of the phaseout of the "Indians" nickname, the school immediately changed the name of its football stadium from Indian Stadium to ASU Stadium. In September 2012 the stadium's name was changed to
