Fleming College has revealed the name of their new mascot, Blaze. The name was determined through a two-round voting process involving students, faculty, staff, and community members during a naming contest held in earlier this month.
The introduction of Blaze comes on the heels of Fleming College’s unveiling of a new varsity mascot and branding in early September.
With a pool of over 130 suggestions, the options were narrowed down to four: Blaze, Fuego, Nimkii, and Ash, with Blaze securing more than 100 votes above its closest contender.
Blaze the Phoenix takes over the role from the longstanding Fleming Knight, which served as the college’s mascot for over 50 years.
