TAMU-CT unveils new mascot

Posted: Updated:

An exciting announcement came on Friday from Texas A&M University-Central Texas.

The university in Killeen now has a mascot. 

The logo represents the schools nickname, Warriors.

Students, faculty, and community members voted on three finalist designs, choosing the winner.

It's a new logo that respects the University's unique relationship with Fort Hood soldiers, and all US Service Members.

TAMU-CT Student Body President Clarence Enochs said, "We are warriors, because they were warriors, and so we appreciate their service, and I don't think, I couldn't think of a better time to do this unveiling other than at the beginning of Memorial Weekend."

The winning design is a mix of Spartan, Trojan, and Gladiator warriors in their traditional armor. 

School leaders say it's the latest step in developing a unique identity for the new university.
