Grin and Bear It
Greeting Loggers at Puget Sound events such as LogJam! and Homecoming and Family Weekend, Grizz has one of the most recognizable faces on campus. Debuting during halftime of the 2006 Homecoming football game, Grizz was inspired by Puget Sound’s original athletics teams, known as the Grizzlies, and sports a classic lumberjack look: denim and plaid, plus a maroon beanie reminiscent of those worn by first-year students until 1961. Look for Grizz around campus and say hello!
