Since the 'crunch stuff is done I was playing...Took a picture of my new St. Louis Univ. sweatshirt and made this....

No finish and the frame is just lying there but seems to look OK!

Meet the "Billiken"!

I always thought that the Billikens and the Salukis were two of the best college mascot names.  Very nice pattern and fine cutting.

About a year ago Sports Illustrated did a piece on mascots and the result was that the "Billiken" is the most recognized mascot in college sports.

From the St. Univ. website...

What is a Billiken? Unmasking SLU's Cool and Unusual Mascot

Often called one of the coolest or most unusual campus mascots in the country, the Billiken's history -- and how it became affiliated with Saint Louis University-- remains debatable to this day.

Several details seem to be certain. Everyone agrees that the Billiken is a good-luck figure who represents "things as they ought to be." The designer of the Billiken also seems to be fact. Florence Pretz, a Missouri art teacher and illustrator, patented her "design for an image" of the jovial creature in 1908.
