The Wake Forest Demon Deacons got their name in the 1920s. The moniker "Demon Deacons" was coined by a sportswriter who was impressed by the school's spirited cheerleaders, who wore top hats and tuxedos at games, giving them a distinctive appearance. The name blends the idea of a "demon," representing fierce competition, with "deacon," reflecting the school's religious heritage. This unique combination has become a symbol of the university's athletic identity.
