1954 North Carolina Tar Heels Artwork: Water Bottle
By Vintage Brand™ not affiliated with or sponsored by North Carolina Tar Heels Rameses is the ram mascot of the North Carolina Tar Heels. Rameses is a live Dorset Horn sheep who attends Carolina football games with his horns painted Carolina blue. The origin of a ram as North Carolina's mascot dates back to 1924. In 1922, the star fullback, Jack Merritt, was given the nickname "The Battering Ram" for his performance on the field. The first appearance of Rameses was at a pep rally before the football game against Virginia Military Institute on November 8, 1924. After the pep rally the ram was taken to Emerson Field. Late in the fourth quarter Bunn Hackney was called out to attempt a field goal. Before stepping out on the field he rubbed Rameses' head. Just a few seconds later Hackney kicked a 30-yard field goal that eventually won the game for the Tar Heels; the final score was 3-0. Rameses has been a fixture on the sidelines at UNC football games ever since.
