The Bluejays were originally depictedby a “birdwatcher’s bluejay,” but that was changed in 1941when Joseph P. Murphy, a Creighton alumnus, designed thecurrent version of Billy, one with a more human stance andexpression.Prior to 1924, Creighton teams were referred to as the“Hilltoppers,” but that name lost favor because at least sixother teams in the country also used the same nickname. TheOmaha Bee assisted the University’s Athletic Board and AlumniAssociation in finding a new nickname by asking readers tosubmit possibilities. After reviewing 200 entries, the AthleticBoard decided upon “Bluejays” because of the school’s colors,blue and white.Today, Creighton remains the only NCAA Division I athleticsprogram known officially as the Bluejays.2011 BaseballThis is Creightonbaseball and softball.• Photo galleries for TD Ameritrade ParkOmaha, including construction pictures andimages of the locker room.• Creighton Athletics can also be found onFacebook (search for Creighton Athletics) oron Twitter (@gocreighton).For More InformationFor more information on Creighton University,check out the University’s website at www.creighton.edu, or call the Admissions Office at1-800-282-5835 (toll free) or (402) 280-2703.Creighton DirectoryArea Code: 402Campus Operator 280-2700Admissions (toll free) 800-282-5835College of Arts & Sciences 280-2800Athletics Department 280-2720Bookstore 280-2796College of Business 280-2850School of Dentistry 280-5060Financial Aid 280-2731Graduate School 280-2870Housing Office 280-3016Law School 280-2872School of Medicine 280-2900School of Nursing 280-2004Pharmacy & Health Professions 280-2950Public Safety 280-2104Registrar 280-2702Residence Life 280-2717Student Activities 280-1715Student Support Services 280-2749University College 280-2424Creighton Baseball Meet the Staff Meet the Players Opponents 2010 in Review Records and History This is Creighton95
