The Big Reveal: The V Stands For...
The mighty San Joaquin Valley! Fresno State proudly represents this fertile agricultural hub, and the green V is a symbolic nod to the valley's importance. Think of it as a giant, grassy high five to all the farmers who keep our tables overflowing with deliciousness.
But Wait, There's More! The V Fun Facts Nobody Asked For (But You'll Be Glad You Read Anyway)
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
- The V first appeared in 1997, a bold move by Head Coach Pat Hill. We're guessing he wasn't afraid of a little green with his red and white.
- The V even inspired the name of Fresno State's beloved live mascot, Victor E. Bulldog. So next time you see Victor crushing high fives, remember, he's reppin' the Valley!
- Fresno State even launched a campaign called "For the V" to highlight their deep connection to the Central Valley. It's basically a love letter written in green paint.
