Texas university has a long and proud history of athletics. Their nickname or mascot is the longhorn. The texas longhorns logo is a single color - burnt orange with a white background and an unmistakable longhorn head with horns. The mascot is represented by bevo, a live steer who is present for all longhorn football games and other special events. While some mascot names seem to evolve over time or are selected based upon a certain incident which occurs and simply stick, the longhorns name is one which is tied directly to texas. Texas longhorns as they are called, played an important part in the development of the state of texas. While there is some debate, most acknowledge the first use of texas longhorn nickname about 1900 by various newspapers in the state.
