SUNY Brockport’s Ellsworth Eagle has emerged victorious in SUNY’s annual Mascot Madness competition. On the strength of social media voting, Ellsworth rallied to defeat SUNY Farmingdale’s Ram-bo in the championship round. It marks Ellsworth’s first Mascot Madness championship.
SUNY’s Mascot Madness competition offers an opportunity for SUNY institutions to rally together and show their school spirit. Thirty-two mascots from across SUNY face off in a bracket-style single elimination competition. Voters can select their favorite mascot in each round, with the mascot who receives the most votes advancing.
Ellsworth defeated Roody (SUNY Canton), Blue (Empire State University), JJ Jayhawk (Jamestown Community College), and Oakie (SUNY ESF) to advance to the final for the first time in 10 years.
Ellsworth then knocked off Ram-bo by a final vote total of 25,022 to 24,273. Ellsworth’s championship vote total nearly doubled the amount of votes he received in the semifinal round (13,811) – showing extraordinary engagement from SUNY Brockport students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members.
