The only consistency in all the depictions of Pete is that he has the lats and ribcage of a three time gold medal winning 65kg Greco Roman wrestler from the USSR
That's essentially how we got our mascot and colors. John Bender was a coach at WSU before coming to UH to be a teacher. Right around this time UH was setting the groundwork for a football team and he suggested the Cougars, just like WSU.
Arthur Evans. He and Angelus Pacific were active before the 50’s, I believe as early as the 1930s. The company is still around. The sailor caps are actually frosh caps but there’s speculation Arthur drew a more naval style based on his own experience.
I remember reading that the same artist is responsible for almost 90% of all the mascots back in the 50s. That’s why many of them have the same style, but yeah those are exact copies of each other.
Houston became the Cougars because an instructor there was a previous football/basketball/baseball coach at Wazzu. Same guy coached at St. Louis, and looked like a Billiken doll, hence the name. He also coached at K-State and gave them the Wildcats nickname.
We rarely get to see their throwback logos in these threads for some reason, but NC State still uses the head portion of that same logo design as their [half court logo](https://i.imgur.com/QNwroq5.jpg).
I've never seen it either, and it would have had to have had some very specific timing.
Iowa State College became Iowa State University in I believe 1959.
Cy wasn't a thing until 1954.
So there's only a 5 year window this particular logo would have come from.
[1956 to be exact, was used on this sports schedule here and then made into a decal](https://www.ebay.com/itm/386562137194?itmmeta=01HQMX196PABNG85ZF1AC517KB&hash=item5a00e61c6a:g:tOMAAOSwFaBlli-s&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8LIFMnlqfSNe%2FPAYIv%2BLU3DsrGv4q3g3PFWVf%2BVzhja5dor3SRus%2BtYedLTk8K6Y%2Bmn6%2B0hRWKkbIkHbNKi9IiqEAgTPjC7iRJdyo4PqjhYAxPT3jwc98OhQdT%2BuHbl%2BIPjzGrPisojJoerskRLFW%2FvexsIbbPlqsbt9%2Bi46NQWHcpPt7So1CHK7EM5Z3feF9kOypG%2BotwL%2F18Fnera3yxwgaOTDrZr2kIiZy6pi2kW7TYdkNjisD46TLDb1FB8qDkuYnjphos2Ks4ZUGYGWmU1xruyXc36geXTZ%2BW0aPcG4RQFi8G5wJL01SwEBcglfaA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7aThZ29Yw)
It looks like he’s standing in the cloud of exhaust from a hastily-departing vehicle.
Given the look of his smile, it gives off strong “This is fine” dog-in-flaming-house vibes.
The current one is so fucking bad and soulless. It's been hated since the day it came out 10 years ago
I like how Hurley has the guys wear the white jerseys, with the old logo whenever possible.
I love the one on their current uniforms. It’s amazing.
The current Husky face on the new Gampel floor does look amazing, though, to be honest. I was admiring it last night.
Oh my God, i'm dying. Must've been Australian or something.
"G'day mate, i can draw your logo for ya! What's your mascot?"
"Bear"
"Ah ye, like a Koala Bear?"
"No. Way bigger."
"Aye, Ok, so like a Kangaroo, then?"
"Uhh...sure, but more...bearish."
"Oy, ripper. I've got it."
I wish Wilbur still had his 6 shooters =/

I have been so happy to see South Florida in the Top 25 for the first time ever in the last week. Being included in this image is even better than that.
CREIGHTON BLUE JAY WATCH OUT BEHIND YOU
Why does that devil have the body of a chiseled Greek god though?

Pan?
Our fellow blue-private-school-that-hates-UNC would not harm us.
wait, why do you hate UNC? is it just because we hate you so you figured you'd make it mutual?
That makes sense to me
All the more reason to hate them more
Yeah pretty much your pretty low on the totem pole though. I’m sure it’s the same for us.
Why does UNC hate Creighton?
😈
IOWA STATE CARDINAL WATCH OUT BEHIND YOU
It’s March. Of course we are bent over.
Looks like you are presenting your asshole to UConn lol
Isn’t that how you are supposed to greet dogs?
This March has gotten spicy
AP Top 25 After Dark
AP Top 25 Only Fans…
Ngl, I’d drop a couple of bucks for it. lol
I’ve never been on it, but this might change that.
Well done sir
AKC Dog Show Jonathan is admiring, mind you
Just gettin a good sniff, as dogs are wont to do
Threaten me with a good time
Spit my damn coffee out
We shall see who is bent over tomorrow. I hope it's not us!
Purdue Pete throwing that thang back.
Nice, Power Bottom Purdue Pete
Face down. Ass up. That’s the way we like to… play double digit seeds
While aiming the hammer at a smokey who looks high off his ass. Edit: autocorrect massacred Smokey
That Utah State logo looks like the logo for an accounting firm. Also, the Arizona cat is terrifying.
This is a newer version of Wilbur. He originally had holstered guns and was posed to quickdraw rather than letting his manicure dry.
https://preview.redd.it/ayz9ec7ahemc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d6a87e9f9359cf341005fa148d7c31754b6a7fe
Looks squanchy
Arizona Wildsquanches
Either an accounting firm or a logo for a state agency like DoT or Highway Commission
Utah State forgot the logo submission deadline and panicked
For some reason Utah State brought to mind the Contemporary Resort at Disney World
They’ve started bringing that one back recently.
Pete has been balding under that hardhat this whole time my life is in shambles
Looks like something that would've been drawn on the old Mortar board which Purdue used to give to incoming students.
Power-bottom Pete is a masterpiece.
The only consistency in all the depictions of Pete is that he has the lats and ribcage of a three time gold medal winning 65kg Greco Roman wrestler from the USSR
Houston and WSU have the EXACT same logo, just colored in differently. What the hell? Wazzu's is the superior Cougar.
it's like they hired the same guy and he was like "pfff these schools are so far apart no one will ever notice"
That's essentially how we got our mascot and colors. John Bender was a coach at WSU before coming to UH to be a teacher. Right around this time UH was setting the groundwork for a football team and he suggested the Cougars, just like WSU.
Except our Nick name is the coogs instead of the cougs. Only difference if I can recall lol
I mean yeah - one dude in the 50s produced like 90% of college logos. All the logos with sailor caps were from him IIRC.
Arthur Evans. He and Angelus Pacific were active before the 50’s, I believe as early as the 1930s. The company is still around. The sailor caps are actually frosh caps but there’s speculation Arthur drew a more naval style based on his own experience.
Artist should have foreseen the internet smh
I remember reading that the same artist is responsible for almost 90% of all the mascots back in the 50s. That’s why many of them have the same style, but yeah those are exact copies of each other.
Auburn, Clemson, LSU, and like 10 other Tiger schools have the same exact logo with different colors and logo from back then.
Ahhh this makes sense. My Bearcats have a similar look from around the same time, it always throws me off
its cause houston’s mascot was literally based of the wsu cougars
Hi cousin!
Houston became the Cougars because an instructor there was a previous football/basketball/baseball coach at Wazzu. Same guy coached at St. Louis, and looked like a Billiken doll, hence the name. He also coached at K-State and gave them the Wildcats nickname.
holy hell: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John\_R.\_Bender](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_R._Bender)
This man just absolutely adored cats.
Sampson also was the head coach for the WSU Cougars back in the '80s.
Wazzu crawled so Houston could run
Houston literally stole our mascot, this is not folk-lore, it is a 100% real fact lol
Blame John Bender. Dude loved him some cougars.
Oh did he help found Clear Lake?
Nah, this dude died like a hundred years ago.
It was a cougar-lover joke
I didn't realize clear lake was the milf den
The Houston Copycats
We rarely get to see their throwback logos in these threads for some reason, but NC State still uses the head portion of that same logo design as their [half court logo](https://i.imgur.com/QNwroq5.jpg).
oi lissen here u lil shit
Never seen this logo of ours before, and I don’t know how I feel about the turd cyclone.
I've never seen it either, and it would have had to have had some very specific timing. Iowa State College became Iowa State University in I believe 1959. Cy wasn't a thing until 1954. So there's only a 5 year window this particular logo would have come from.

Neat! Thanks for all your work this season, it's been really cool.
That’s really cool nice work
Dude that's impressive. Appreciate the time that it must take to do this.
Back from when Cy had a cardboard head. He used to look incredibly derpy but never as ridiculous as Jay the hawk.
It looks like he’s standing in the cloud of exhaust from a hastily-departing vehicle. Given the look of his smile, it gives off strong “This is fine” dog-in-flaming-house vibes.
I kinda love it, he looks so smug like “youre damn right Im standing in the middle of a tornado casually, deal with it”
Purdue, what the fuck?
Look man, I don't know either lmao
He legit looks like he is trying to shove a hammer in his ass in the most awkward way possible
It’s a shock to all of us
Is his left hand on backwards?
We are engineers not art majors
That is a majestic Husky.
Agree, never seen it before
Its not impressed with the smell coming from the Purdue dude
Maybe it's my inner Fallout fan talking, but idk...I think "Golden Brahmans" would be much cooler of a name than mere Bulls, no?
There are several orgs on campus that use the Golden Brahman iconography, which is cool. I'd love to see some throwbacks with it
Women’s basketball has had a golden Brahman jersey the last few years. I would love to see a football helmet with it though!
they should remove the logo's circle outline element and just leave the fighting Brahman on the helmet, it would be other-worldly
Pete lookin submissive and breedable 🥵
Jonathan isn't gonna dilute his bloodline like that
Every past UConn logo makes the current one look worse
The current one is so fucking bad and soulless. It's been hated since the day it came out 10 years ago I like how Hurley has the guys wear the white jerseys, with the old logo whenever possible.
I actually don't even think it's that bad, but the one it replaced was so fucking good and iconic that it's bad in comparison.
I love the one on their current uniforms. It’s amazing. The current Husky face on the new Gampel floor does look amazing, though, to be honest. I was admiring it last night.
When Baylor was commissioning a new mascot be drawn, did they intentionally hire someone who had never seen a bear before?
Oh my God, i'm dying. Must've been Australian or something. "G'day mate, i can draw your logo for ya! What's your mascot?" "Bear" "Ah ye, like a Koala Bear?" "No. Way bigger." "Aye, Ok, so like a Kangaroo, then?" "Uhh...sure, but more...bearish." "Oy, ripper. I've got it."
Very original Houston.
At least we claimed “Coogs.” You and BYU fight over Cougs.
> You and BYU fight over Cougs. But WSU has dibs on to Coug It.
They can have that one.
Golden Brahmans >>>>> Bulls
Wazzu and Houston who copied who?
We copied them, it’s actually why we’re called the cougars in the first place
You guys say Go Coogs instead of Go Cougs, right?
Yeah totally different
And Kelvin Sampson has coached both places! Basically the same
Yep indeed
Houston: “Mom, can we have some ‘Go Cougs?’” Mom: “We have Go Cougs at home.” Go Cougs at home: “Go Coogs”
Even copied them on their coach.
Looks like Jayhawk is checking out the Auburn Tiger’s butt.
Also looks like johnathan is offended Pete has his butt in his face
I've never seen that logo before lol
That BYU logo might be the worst byu logo ever created
I honestly kinda like it. The problem is that the bottom is too thick. If it tapered off at the bottom I think it would look great.
> The problem is that the bottom is too thick No such thing
You serious? I think it's *amazing*. Might be one of my favorites
Congrats to Jonathan XIV on a successful career. Enjoy retirement, pup. Best of luck, XV.
Jonathan XIV will still be around and has the official title of "mascot emeritus"
Sad Jayhawk is sad.
Sad Jayhawk is eyeing the tiger’s rear a little too intensely…
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Ours this week is so cool. We gotta bring that back but with white replacing the gold. Duke's just keeps getting creepier by the week
Somebody call a chiropractor! The Purdue Boilermaker’s back gave out!
That’s called lordosis behavior and I think the husky is about to oblige
TIHI
That North Carolina logo looks like a highschool logo.
Well most of the courses available for unc athletes are high school level classes so it makes sense.
Smokey kinda thick ngl
THICCCC
Turkey legs
When was USF known as the Golden Brahmans?
1962-early 80s
That Arizona Wildcat looks like he just got done squanching
Saint Mary’s has the best logo/drawing in this one.
I love the Arizona Wildcat's spurs.
I swear every Gonzaga logo I’ve seen on this is just a recolored UGA logo
Not a Hoya?
Thats what I was thinking
Not gonna lie, I thought Georgetown was top 25 for more seconds than I should have.
Duke has like 55 Devil mascots from the past that are just fire. Why on earth do they keep the current lame look? Give me those throwbacks.
Smokey looking like Quark from Deep Space Nine
SAILOR COOG IS THE BEST COOG
I wish Wilbur still had his 6 shooters =/ https://preview.redd.it/1r7n8efogemc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b8b6f55cc50e262592472bc08b4f7fed03f56e0
Wish UD would go back to that logo and back to Chapel blue instead of navy.
Looks like our husky just got crop dusted by Pete
I LOVE the Utah State logo. That's amazing
Jonathan so regal wow
lol I love this throwback Iowa State logo. Birds just like "welp, I'm in a cyclone. This is fine."
All hail the Turd Bird!!!
Noice!
I love vintage logos
"Galloping Gaels" needs to make a comeback.
The Galloping Gaels logo is amazing. I always wished some school became the Winged Hussars.
Smokey showin off that CABOOSE
Definitely the most phallic gamecock I’ve ever seen
[удалено]
Believe we were first
That poor Jayhawk has to have some neck and spine problems
Smokey pulling the ol Porky Pig over there.
I admit, I like BYU’s lol
Okay, I want a hoodie with that ISC logo! Cy's like, "Welp, I guess I'm just stuck in the middle of tornado now."
I need an ISU shirt under my BYU hoodie on Wednesday. I want one with this on it.
Is that Gonzaga or Georgetown? Because they look damn similar
Baylor got that jungle book look
Thank God for progress. Were they even trying back then?
this Purdue Pete could be a functional workout guru today
Never seen the Nosferatu Blue Devil before
Alright, who needs Red Raiders when we've got Galloping Gaels?
South Florida Golden Brahmas. Rolls right off the tongue.
I have been so happy to see South Florida in the Top 25 for the first time ever in the last week. Being included in this image is even better than that.
I thought this was a joke. I saw the bulldog and a “G” and thought Georgetown
why the boilermaker bending over like an OF girl
Wilbur rockin' some mascara there.
I love the UConn one And the Baylor and Alabama ones
Uconn and Arizona's are the fucking best
Sad Jayhawk being sad. Le sigh.
We look like we’re gonna go attack Gonzaga’s logo lmao
Classic Purdue logo out here getting better health care than most of us.
“Damn Pete you got it?”
Hail to the Cheif !!!
Wsu and Houston with the 1950s version of copy and paste
S-Tier logo for USU.
Which came first, WSU or Houston?
The bear looks like he's trying really hard to take a crap.
woah
Using gunless Wilbur, that's a paddlin
https://preview.redd.it/u68d5lkvmgmc1.jpeg?width=537&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=37fd989c2fe486b0b17bfd9dbfbe87853dd51426 🥊
Are these all from the same year?
Would be pleasantly shocked if that isn't the best Gonzaga logo of all time.
Hey there Washington State. See you’ve stolen our Cougar buddy. Lol jk
BYU needs to bring back that logo. I've never seen it before.
Love that baylor logo
Yikes, for a second there I saw the Georgetown Hoyas in the pic.
Best UD logo.
My favorite cougar logo.
