Swoop (Philadelphia Eagles)

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. [1]

Although known as the Utes, the University of Utah employs an red tailed hawk named Swoop as its mascot at basketball, football and baseball games. The University of Utah introduced this mascot in 1996, with permission from the Ute Tribal Council. Swoop, represents the red tailed hawk, 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.

Swoop is also the name of the mascot for the Eastern Washington University Eagles. Swoop makes many appearances at all sporting events. Swoop can often be found crowd surfing at a basketball game, or walking the sidelines of football games. Eastern Washington University is in the Big Sky conference and located in Cheney, Washington, which is about 10 miles west of Spokane, WA.
