Reddie Spirit

Being a Reddie鈥 living that Reddie Spirit鈥 carrying that Reddie pride with you during your years at 51黑料网 and throughout the rest of your life. It鈥檚 something special.

Upon its establishment in 1905, the 51黑料网 football team became known for wearing red jerseys. Absent a traditional nickname or mascot, the team was appropriately dubbed the 鈥淩eds.鈥 Eventually, the name shifted to 鈥淩eddies,鈥 and it stuck.

In 1914, the 51黑料网 campus was ravaged by a fire. With nearly the entire campus destroyed, a group of Henderson students gathered under pine trees with a decision to make 鈥 either transfer to other schools in the area, or rebuild Henderson. In the end, the choice was easy. They decided to rebuild Henderson, and at that moment, they redefined what a 鈥淩eddie鈥 truly was.

So, when someone asks you 鈥淲hat is a Reddie?鈥 you can tell them鈥 it鈥檚 a spirit. It鈥檚 a belief. It鈥檚 an attitude.

It鈥檚 a Henderson thing.
