Loma Nazarene University has a new nickname for athletic
teams and student groups that represent the school
overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
PLNU teams now will be known as the Sea Lions.
The new name replaces Crusaders, which the school had
used for decades.
"We believe the Sea Lion will represent PLNU as an
institution of strength, power and character for many
years to come," PLNU President Bob Brower said in a news
release.
The school said the Crusaders nickname had been
subject to changing interpretations in recent years that
didn't reflect the school's character and values.
The depiction of a roaring lion emerging from waves
was created by design artist Sharon Box, a 1981 PLNU
alumna.
