THE BEGINNING
CHARLIE’S HEAD
Charlie Cardinal has served as Ball State’s mascot since 1969.
The 1960s head of Charlie is made of paper-mache and feathered. It has changed five times since then.
SPREADING NEW WINGS The 1970s updated Charlie features a fiberglass head, yellow leggings and a red suit.
COOL THE EGO Yet another change, Charlie now has a feathered body and a bigger head in the mid-1980s.
A FEW YEARS LATER The body suit is replaced by a slimmer verison for comfort in 2006. This suit is easier to move in and see out of.
SHAKE YOUR TAIL FEATHERS In 2012, the head and talons are made smaller to help with agility.
