The first instance of the Drexel “dragon” appears in a 1928 story about the football team in The Triangle. There seems to be no special reason for its selection other than its obvious alliterative appeal. Before they became Dragons, the school’s sports teams had been known by a variety of names, including the Blue & Gold, the Engineers and the Drexelites. A physical Drexel Dragon mascot is created in 1929.
