Butler University’s bulldog mascot Blue III is one of the most beloved in all of sports, but after serving the school for seven years, Blue III is set to retire at the end of the season.
On Friday night, Blue III’s successor, Blue IV, was unveiled at Hinkle Fieldhouse before a game against Marquette in a Lion King-style ceremony, and you really, really need to see the photos.
Blue IV is just a few months old, and was born on October 30th. The puppy will take over as the active mascot at the start of the next academic year, according to WishTV.
For The Win is now a Blue IV fan site.
