Introducing Izzy the Islander: Same Name, Same Islander Spirit, New Look!

On Wednesday, May 4, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi unveiled an updated version of our mascot, Izzy. The debut was held at a pep rally prior to the South Texas Showdown, the annual baseball rivalry game against UTRGV.

The updated Izzy is a blue character with waves of green and blue hair. The mascot wears board shorts and sunglasses, showcasing a coastal lifestyle, but can easily change into a sports jersey or even a suit to match the event Izzy attends. Additionally, Izzy has a surfboard to for special events. There are currently three surfboard designs, created by Islander alumni Monica Marie Garcia ’11, ’14, Sandra Gonzalez ’11, and Malachy McKinney ’09. Each board incorporates images suggested through a survey sent to the entire Islander community. Images reflect campus history and traditions, along with South Texas culture.

The new version of Izzy replaces previous versions of the mascot.

A task force consisting of Islander students, faculty, staff, and alumni worked to develop the new look after the university received a letter from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs noting the previous mascot’s tiki mask and tribal tattoo hold sacred meaning to Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders. The report said the university’s use of other Hawaiian elements, such as the shaka and leis, are symbols with more global usage and visibility.

Rickabaugh Graphics, a company that specializes in creating and/or updating university mascots, assisted with the project.

Starting soon, merchandise featuring Izzy can be purchased online or at the Campus Store in the University Center.
