Santa & reindeer sweaters are more suburban soccer mom than kitsch. Anyone could wear something like that in December. A woman would need the right combination of looks and personality to pull off a sock monkey formal dress. I'm sad to admit, I have neither though I wish I did. |

Well the tree got caught drinking. Twice. That's why it was romping - but the official mascot is the cardinal and no one can tell you why.

There is no mascot; it's the team name. Once Indians was dumped, every suggestion was either dumb (Spikes) or had nothing to do with the school (Griffins).
Why is the Mariners' mascot a moose? |

Because no one wanted to be the fisherman?
Cute story, the guy who wears the outfit - his name is Moose. And if you can tell me what a Philly phanatic or what the hell is that thing?

AON, the Mariner Moose rocks
Hell, this year alone, he almost killed Coco Crisp. |

Pssst. You may be right, but only in the Midwest. Elsewhere it is not even kitsch -- just stupidity.

I thought it was cardinal (as in, red, or crimson), not the cardinal.
Set me straight, someone.

For the record, I do not have a Santa sweater. Or a reindeer sweater. |

My sister went to Stanford (also not an Ivy, for those rushing to educate the Texan* on such things). According to her Cardinal is color, not bird. No article attached to it.
*FWIW, none of the four institutions of higher learning that I attended were Ivys. I'm ok with that.
