A festive holiday graphic featuring Dubs, the University of Washington’s Husky mascot, wearing a purple bandana with the “W” logo and snow falling gently around him. The text reads “Happy Holidays” in bold purple letters, with “From Washington Athletics” below. The background includes a subtle wintry scene.

From our Husky family to yours,

Wishing you warmth, joy, and cheer this holiday season.
