(KNUE-FM) Being such a gigantic state, Texas is home to so many schools and mascots. Many of them are familiar and used all over the country. But there are some in Texas that are very original and unusual.

Please remember that unusual isn’t bad, it can become a source of pride as it stands out from the crowd. I’m not sure everyone knows about the unique mascots being used in Texas.

The Hidden Costs of Changing a School Mascot

We’ve all heard about Professional Sports teams that have changed mascots over the years, those decisions were made for many reasons. But most people don’t understand the cost that comes with changing your logo as new sports jerseys, school signage, and marketing materials must be replaced, which can be expensive. It’s not as easy as just finding something that everyone agrees looks good.
