1970 UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs Artwork: Men's Retro Heather T-Shirt

By Vintage Brand™ not affiliated with or sponsored by UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs
Sammy the Banana Slug was adopted as the university mascot unofficially circa 1981. Five years later a 1986 student referendum voted in the banana slug as the official mascot of UCSC. The students voted via referendum to declare the banana slug the official mascot of UCSC – a vote the chancellor refused to honor, arguing that only athletes should choose the mascot. When a poll of athletes showed that they, too, wanted to be Slugs, the chancellor relented. People magazine and ESPN championed the cause by giving much press to UCSC Banana Slug. ESPN called it the "best nickname in college basketball". The Slug mascot represents the slimy yellow creature indigenous to the dark, moist redwood forests crowning the campus.
