100 years ago, Illinois State made a mascot change from the 'Fighting Teachers' to something that matched their cardinal and white colors. They first chose the cardinal bird, but to avoid confusion with the St. Louis Cardinals, they went with the Redbirds instead. This 'thumbs-up' Redbird on this vintage dad hat was the first standardized ISU logo, laying the foundation for the modern mascot's look. • A unique piece of Illinois State history. • Show your Redbird pride with this stylish hat. • Perfect for any Illinois State fan!
Use it at games, on campus, or for casual outings. Ideal for Illinois State University fans. One size fits most.
