Providence New Bedford, RI, October 5, 2026 — The Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) has announced a search for a professional designer to undertake a refresh of its athletic mascot, the Knight. This initiative aims to modernize the long-standing symbol representing the college’s sports teams and student body.

Details regarding the scope of the refresh were not provided, but the college is looking for a designer capable of updating the visual identity of the Knight mascot. The current iteration of the mascot has been a part of CCRI’s identity for an unspecified period. The college has not released information on the specific timeline for the design selection process or when the refreshed mascot is expected to be unveiled.

The selection process for the designer is currently underway. Further information about the project’s requirements and application procedures for interested designers has not been made publicly available. CCRI has not specified the budget allocated for this design project or whether the refresh will involve a complete overhaul or minor stylistic adjustments to the existing Knight character.

The decision to refresh the mascot comes as many educational institutions periodically review and update their branding elements to remain relevant and appealing to current and prospective students. The Knight mascot has been a consistent symbol for CCRI, and this project marks a significant step in its ongoing evolution.
