RADNOR, Pa. – With the start of the 2010-11 academic year, Cabrini College unveiled a re-designed mascot and mascot logo. The new look for Cabrini’s Cavalier was developed from a student-sponsored contest conducted last spring.
The new mascot costume was unveiled Aug. 19, when the Cavalier and the Phillie Phanatic welcomed some 420 first-year and transfer students to Cabrini.
“We have been working with other departments on campus to intensify school spirit among students, faculty, staff, and alumni,” said Director of Athletics & Recreation Joe Giunta. “We believe that the new Cavalier will help to generate excitement in the campus community.”
Two graphic design majors at Cabrini are behind the re-designed mascot and mascot logo. Brian Birdsall ’10, of Andreas, Pa., is credited with developing the concept for the new Cavalier costume; and Anthony Casazza ’10, of Thorofare, N.J., created the new mascot logo.
The Cavalier is a presence at numerous campus events, athletic contests, and in the local community. In addition to Move-In Day for new students, the new Cavalier mascot appeared at the College’s Opening Convocation picnic Aug. 25, and will welcome guests to Cabrini Night at the Phillies Friday, Sept. 17 at Citizens Bank Park.
A new mascot logo complements the Department of Athletics and Recreation’s primary logo that was created in 2007.
Athletic gear, T-shirts, sweatshirts, golf apparel and gift items sporting the new mascot logo are available exclusively to members of the CAVS Club, a new fundraising initiative that supports Cabrini athletic teams.

In the Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) last year (2009-10), Cabrini won seven league titles and two of the three prestigious President’s Cups. In 2008-09, Cabrini took home all three President¹s Cups.
In the classroom, the Cavaliers celebrated 67 CSAC All-Academic performers last year and Cabrini student-athletes maintained above a 3.0 grade-point average.
