The Official Mascot of Cruz Azul

 At the end of the 1960s and throughout the 1970s, one team made history. Cruz Azul, a team founded in 1927 in the state of Hidalgo and based in Mexico City since 1971, began to create its own history by winning seven titles in 12 years.

Since the team has belonged to the cement company of the same name since its beginnings, when in the advertising spots of that company a hare appeared running while the slogan talking about the drying of cement commented: “fast as a target”, its followers immediately adopted the rabbit as the official mascot, without being so, of the team born in Jasso, Hidalgo.

A fan dressed in the costume of a white rabbit began to appear at the games, then blue, and like wildfire he became associated with the team's mascot, to such a degree that cartoonists in the newspapers represented him as such for a long time.

Also in the Azteca stadium, in the stands, a horn with the characteristic sound of the railroad could be heard and the commentator Ángel Fernández, agile of mind, after listening to the singing sound, called the Celeste Machine to that team that played like a locomotive. That machine delighted a whole generation of fans who watched with pleasure the squad of Marín, Kalimán, Quintano, Bustos, Victorino, Pulido, Vera, Muciño and company.

The same chronicler, Ángel Fernández, who turned any boring game into the most colorful match in history, wrote the anthem that is so characteristic of the team: “Cruz Azul, la Máquina azul...”.

In 2013, the name of the mascot was defined. People know it as “Hare Blu”.
