Jayhawk like a Pro | Pattern: These custom illustrations by Erin of the Kansas Jayhawk mascot in ten signature moves beautifully encapsulate the qualities shared by all students, faculty, and alumni, reminding us of our shared values and the Jayhawk spirit that unites us all. Each illustration is repeated 10 times to create a unique pattern of 100 Jayhawks.
(1) "Wave the Wheat," the Jayhawk stands for our deep-rooted agricultural heritage. This tradition involves fans waving their arms and swaying them back and forth, mimicking the motion of wheat swaying in the wind.
(2) "Fun-Loving," the KU Jayhawk joyfully defies gravity, balancing in a spirited headstand. Its playful spirit shines through as it flips the world upside down, embodying the essence of carefree enjoyment and zest for life.
(3) "Shake-a-tailfeather," signifies our ability to celebrate life's joys. Life should be celebrated and enjoyed to the fullest, inspiring all to embrace the rhythm of existence and let loose with the infectious enthusiasm of the Jayhawk at the University of Kansas.
(4) "Just-Breath," encourages mindfulness, highlighting its value in the face of life's diverse challenges, whether they be academic, athletic, or transitional. Before the rush of any stressful endeavor, taking a mindful breath can be a source of strength, balance, and unity among all those who find solace in the Jayhawk spirit at the University of Kansas.
(5) "Welcoming," represents the warm Jayhawk community embodied by both Big Jay and Little Jay, and extends a warm and inviting gesture to fans. With their wings linked and smiles on their faces, the two beloved mascots create a sense of unity and camaraderie.
(6) "Fight Song Clap," embodies our unity and shared traditions. Learning to clap the fight song is not just about a simple rhythmic act; it's about embracing the culture, history, and spirit that defines KU.
(7) "Hoopster," the Jayhawk embodies our athletic prowess and competitive spirit, especially in our most iconic sport of basketball. With precision and finesse, the Jayhawk's slam dunk embodies the legacy of champions, reminding all of the rich tradition and passion that surrounds KU basketball, where every dunk represents a thrilling chapter in the university's enduring sports heritage.
(8) "Lead," symbolizes the leadership qualities instilled in us. The Jayhawk proudly stands tall, donned in the distinguished uniform of the University of Kansas drum major exuding an air of authority and leadership, embodying the spirit of someone who takes charge.
(9) "Newspaper Confetti," is the tradition of Big Jay and Baby Jay holding newspapers over their heads while the opposing team's starting lineup is announced, symbolizing the rich heritage and indomitable Jayhawk spirit at the University of Kansas.
