1979 Utah State Aggies Artwork: Men's Dri-Power T-shirt

By Vintage Brand™ not affiliated with or sponsored by Utah State Aggies
On November 7, 1901 a meeting decided that the college's official color would be blue. It originated as more of a royal blue, morphing fully into navy by the 1920s. The term "Big Blue" came about in the 1960s simply to refer to the uniform color, as opposed to any particular mascot. The image of a bull first appeared on a football game program in 1975, and the following year it was adopted as USU's mascot. For a few years, USU used an actual white bull, painted blue, which was brought to sporting events and corralled on the sidelines. However, when the Smith Spectrum was built, there were concerns with the bull ruining the floor. For a short time, the bull was outfitted with red rubber boots, this was a disaster. Because of the damage done to the football field and the basketball court Big Blue was retired.
