SCCC Then vs. SCCC Now ATHLETIC TEAM NAME, COLORS and MASCOT For thirty years (1969-1998) SCCC’s athletic teams were known as ‘The Chiefs’ and the College Colors were Royal Blue and Gold. On August 1, 1998, SCCC Board of Trustees approved the recommendation from the student body to rename the SCCC athletic teams the “ROYALS” (reflecting college color). On July 28, 2014, the SCCC Board of Trustees approved the recommendation from the student body to accept the entry from student, Luis L. Martinez. “Royal the Duck” became the first mascot in the history of SCCC.
