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.

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.
