Traditions
Athletes at ASU are known as "Sun Devils," a nickname adopted in 1946; earlier nicknames were the Normals or the Owls and, later, the Bulldogs. The nickname was said to have come from an article in the newspaper in which the writer said the quote "Lets call them Sun Devils," and the name eventually caught on the with the university. The Sun Devil mascot, Sparky, was designed by Disney illustrator Bert Anthony. The ASU fight song is Maroon and Gold, named for the school's colors. ASU's chief rival is the University of Arizona.
