To obtain print-ready versions of UMKC’snew logo, please contact the UMKC Sports Information office. To obtain web-suitable versions ofUMKC’s new logo, visit the CoSIDA logo library or contact the UMKC Sports Information office.UMKC Athletics and Kansas City, Mo., advertising firm Bernstein-Rein began work on transformingone of the most unique mascots in college sports. Two options were presented to the community,drawing 2,200 votes. On May 6, 2008, the new set of marks was unveiled.The new identity, developed by Bernstein-Rein, encapsulates a strong competitive nature andfierce attitude. The Roo icon and typography establish a sense of motion and direction, with thekangaroo in one if its most iconic poses - side-on in full stride. Its eyes are focused with a snarladding to its aggressive attitude.The colors draw inspiration from the classic blue and gold of UMKC, with an addition of black tocreate a bolder presence. The iconography draws inspiration from UMKC’s position as a part of agrowing urban community.w w w . u m k c k a n g a r o o s . c o m31

The Evolution of the KangarooWhen choosing a mascot, the discussion usually starts with three main categories - predatoryanimals, historical or regional figures, or humans that represent power and strength - and endswith a collection of the usual suspects. Thanks to Walt Disney, The Kansas City Star and theKansas City Zoo, UMKC has a very unique mascot, but how exactly does the Kangaroo fit? As itturns out, quite well.In 1936, the issue of a mascot was first brought up by the editors of The University - the campusnewspaper for Kansas City University. Although there were no organized intercollegiate athleticsteams at the time, the newspaper staff felt that KCU’s debate team - and more importantly theschool itself - deserved a unique identity. During that same year, the Kansas City Zoo purchased apair of baby Kangaroos, and The Kansas City Star lit the fire with an article titled “Kangaroo May GoTo KCU ... Student Editors Believe University Should Have A Symbol.”Others on campus were not as enthusiastic. The editors of The Crataegus - the University’syearbook - thought that a Kangaroo was not an appropriate symbol for KCU. A proposed featurepage in the 1936-37 yearbook for the Kangaroo emblem was deleted, sparking a tremendousamount of debate.As the debate wore on, interest from the campus community began to wane. It looked as if KCUwould not adopt a mascot after all. But in 1937, two events would combine to indelibly link theKangaroo with the University and give the mascot a name.The first incarnation of Kasey Kangaroo wasinked by Marceline, Mo., native Walt Disney, andfeatured the KCU mascot alongside a somewhatmore famous rodent.During the student government elections in the spring semester, the CO-OP Party adopted the Kangaroo as its official mascot, naming him Kasey.With a landslide victory in April behind the slogan “Kasey fits KC”, the first part of the foundation was laid. During the same month the first issue ofKCU’s humor magazine - The Kangaroo - was published, with a kangaroo gracing the cover. Six months later, a kangaroo made another appearanceon the cover of The Kangaroo, and although it wasn’t a solo appearance, it put a quick end to the debate over whether a kangaroo was an appropriatemascot for KCU.Missouri native and famed cartoonist Walt Disney provided the artwork for the cover illustration, which featured Mickey Mouse shaking hands withKasey Kangaroo. In a matter of a few years, The Kangaroo thrived while The Crataegus foundered, with the latter eventually folding. TheKangaroo became the University’s yearbook and the Kangaroo became the official mascot of Kansas City University.Kasey has undergone several changes over the years, with the most recent metamorphosis led by UMKC Director of AthleticsTim Hall. With the help of local advertising agency Bernstein-Rein, UMKC developed a set of new athletics marks in the springof 2008. After a community vote, the new Kangaroo logo was unveiled in May. With its aggressive snarl, the new Kangaroocapitalizes on UMKC’s mission to be an outstanding urban university while keeping mindful of the traditions established in 1937.Kasey shows off a few of the many changes he has undergone throughoutthe years. UMKC is the only Division I school to use “Kangaroos” as theofficial nickname for its intercollegiate athletics teams and one of just fourcolleges in the United States to use a Kangaroo as a mascot.Right - The new UMKC Athletics mark developed by Bernstein-Rein.32
