1970 Arizona Wildcats Artwork: Puzzle
By Vintage Brand™ not affiliated with or sponsored by Arizona Wildcats Wilbur and Wilma T. Wildcat are the official mascots at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. In 1915, the school's first mascot, "Rufus Arizona" was brought to campus. He was a live desert bobcat, named for U of A President Rufus von KleinSmid. For the next fifty years, the school used live mascots, a practice which was discontinued in the 1960s. In 1959, Wilbur, the costumed version of the live bobcat mascots, began appearing at football games. He was extremely popular, and has stayed ever since. In 1986, Wilma Wildcat was created, and was even married to Wilbur. Originally, in honor of Arizona's Old West heritage, Wilbur wore a blue flat-topped cowboy hat, a blue vest, a cardinal bandana scarf around his neck and a holster with two pistols. Recently, Wilbur and Wilma have taken to wearing the teams' athletics jerseys instead of their traditional outfits.
