notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Pennant representing the Syracuse University is blue with orange lettering and the school seal. The University was founded in 1870 in Syracuse, New York. The school motto as presented in the seal states, "Suos Cultores Scientia Coronat" which translates to "Knowledge crowns those who seek her". The school color is orange which was made official in 1890. Prior to 1890, the school colors were rose pink and pea green. The school's athletic teams typically wear uniforms that are orange, blue, and white. The school is represented by a cartoonish orange mascot but from 1931-1978 the school was represented by a Native American warrior mascot known as Nathan March or the "Saltine Warrior." Otto the Orange, Syracuse's modern mascot, was not officially adopted until 1995 with both a wolf and a lion being considered as options.
