Am I confusing this with another school? Is Harvard referred to as the Crimson Red?

No, just Crimson. Harvard Crimson. Cornell is Big Red. Dartmouth is Big Green. Then there are Yale Elis, Princeton Tigers, Columbia Lions, and Penn Quakers. Brown might be just Brown. :smiley: Just an old joke. They are Bears.

Thank you!

No worries. Ivy League is like as Dorothy from Wizard of Oz said, “Lions and Tigers, and Bears, oh my!” :smiley:

Isn’t the University of Alabama football team referred to as the Crimson Tide? Maybe that’s what you’re thinking of.

Yes I was getting confused.
