Blue Devil Doll
- Title:
- Blue Devil Doll
- Description:
- The Blue Devil we know and love today is not the same one that cheered on Duke athletes 100 years ago. The "Blue Devil" comes from Les Diables Bleus–an elite French infantry unit that served in World War I. Inspired by their courage, The Chronicle began calling Trinity College’s football team the Blue Devils in 1921, and the name stuck. The Duke mascot has undergone several costume changes and students of all backgrounds have donned the mask to serve as the Blue Devil.
