Primary Logo (1914)

What is the Cincinnati Bearcats Logo?

When cartoonist Paddy Reece drew his bearcat for the campus newspaper in 1914, he wasnt really thinking ahead to the future mascot. He just wanted a play on words for Teddy Baehr in UCs football battle against the University of Kentuckyâ€™s Wildcats. Today, the drawing is considered the original design of a bearcat.
