The Stanford mascot changed from and Indian to a tree in 1970 when students protested because of the Indians religious practice. It was officially changed in 1972 when the students petitioned to the board and got it approved.
the mascot for Stanford university is the Stanford tree and the Stanford cardinal...
There is no official mascot at Stanford. we have two unofficial mascots: Stanford tree and Stanford cardinal referring to the color.
Stanfod doesn't have a mascot. Stanford's mascot is the Stanford Cardinal, but instead of an actual bird it is a pine tree. As a proud alum of Stanford im still not entirely sure of the meaning of the Cardinal and the pine tree. But back to stanfod... come on.

Stanford university official name is the cardinal, Which is a color. The tree is an unofficial nickname.
Stanford's "mascot" is the color Cardinal. The Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band's (LSJUMB) mascot is the tree. Each individual selected by the band to be tree builds their own costume using their own interpretation of what the tree should look like-- it has been a pine, but also a palm.
Stanford is wrong. It is the Stanford Cardinal, referring to a deep red color. Their mascot is a tree, depicting the Redwood native to the region. The Louisville Cardinals are likely the most popular with the cardinal bird as a mascot.
Ironically the answer to the question is in the question itself! The cardinal in "Stanford Cardinal" refers to the color and not the bird. So the answer is cardinal and white. See: http://gostanford.cstv.com/school-bio/stan-nickname-mascot.html
