A bulldog has been the college's mascot in some form since the 1920s, and school officials say that the latest version represents a modern take on the iconic Spike "that embodies the pride, toughness, loyalty, and determination of Hancock's athletes and the college's students."
Allan Hancock's Campus Graphics department designed Spike in-house after almost a year of research and discussions soliciting feedback, according to school officials.
