The first year of Creighton Bluejays football was in 1900. They fielded a football team every year from 1900 to 1942. The first team photo is from 1893, [2] but first played in 1900. [3]
Creighton adopted a Bluejay as its mascot in 1924, when the university's athletic board selected the name from submissions for a contest run by the Omaha Bee newspaper. [4]
Creighton won three conference titles. The Bluejays won two North Central Conference championships and one Missouri Valley Conference championship.
