Swoop (mascot)

Swoop is the mascot of the Philadelphia Eagles, a football team in the National Football League.Swoop made a cameo appearance in a commercial where a thief disguised as a kangaroo mascot tried to steal Philadelphia Eagles jerseys from the locker room after a big game. Swoop walks into the locker room and the kangaroo tries to escape but the security guards catch the mascot. During the NFL regular season, Swoop regularly appears as an animated character in the weekly Eagles Kids Club TV show. Since the show's debut in 2005, the animated version of Swoop has been serving as a host of this show. [http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/upcomingEventsDetail.jsp?id=42067]

Although known as the Utes, the University of Utah employs an eagle named Swoop as its mascot at basketball and baseball games. The University of Utah introduced this mascot in 1987, with permission from the Ute Tribal Council. Swoop, represents the eagle, a bird indigenous to the state of Utah.

Swoop is also the mascot for the Emory Eagles athletic program. He routinely makes appearances at basketball and soccer games. However, he is not well-respected by the university student-body, who consider Dooley -- the skeletal embodiment of Emory's "school spirit" -- to be the true mascot.
