Johns Hopkins Blue Jays : ウィキペディア英語版 | Johns Hopkins Blue Jays
The Johns Hopkins University's intercollegiate sports teams are called the ''Blue Jays'' (after the bird blue jay), and they compete in the NCAA's Division III, except for the lacrosse teams that compete in Division I. They are primarily members of the Centennial Conference. The team colors are Columbia blue (PMS 284) and black, and the blue jay is their mascot.〔(The Official Athletic Site of Johns Hopkins University – Athletic Quick Facts. )〕 Homewood Field is the home stadium. Hopkins celebrates Homecoming in the spring to coincide with the height of the lacrosse season. The Lacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame, governed by US Lacrosse, is located on the Homewood campus and is adjacent to Homewood Field. Past Johns Hopkins lacrosse teams have represented the United States in international competition. At the 1932 Summer Olympics lacrosse demonstration event Hopkins played for the US. They have also gone to Melbourne, Australia to win the 1974 World Lacrosse Championship. ==Origin of the name== Originally, the Johns Hopkins athletes were not called ''Blue Jays'' but ''the Black and Blue'', a nickname derived from their athletic colors. Hopkins archivist James Stimpert has theorized that the Blue Jay name stemmed from Hopkins' student humor magazine, The Black and Blue Jay, first published in 1920. The "Black and Blue" came from the athletic colors and the "Jay" most likely stood for first initial in Johns Hopkins.
