Baylor Bear Mascots
Another responsibility of the Chamber has been the maintenance of the bear mascots. The first bears were given to the University in 1917, and the Chamber assumed responsibility for them soon afterwards.
The Bear Pit, the greatest physical evidence of the work of the Chamber on the Baylor campus, has undergone a series of renovations. In 1949 and 1953, little cages were added. It was also in 1953 that a special trailer was purchased to transport the mascot to the games. In 1962, another new cage was added to accommodate the growing mascot population.
In 1950, Mrs. Essie Forrester O'Brien wrote a history of the bear mascots since 1914, when the idea of a mascot was first proposed. Sponsored and distributed by the Chamber, The Baylor Bear Mascots chronicled the first live bears, as well as the early trainers. The proceeds of this book were applied to the Chamber's pledge for the stadium fund. In 1969, the pit was again remodeled and the book was revised by Mrs. O'Brien. This time, the proceeds were earmarked for the permanent fund established to maintain the mascots.
The year 1976 marked a complete renovation of the Bear Pit area, as well as the renaming of the area as the Steve Hudson Memorial Bear Plaza.
The current habitat, The Bill and Eva Williams Bear Habitat, was opened in 2005 and includes many features that make that space more natural for the bears. Features include a waterfall, river, caves, as well as a spacious indoor facility where the bears can spend their nights.
Current Mascots -
- Judge Sue "Lady" Sloan (for Baylor's former first lady Sue Sloan, who is the wife of Dr. Robert Sloan, the 12th President of Baylor)
- Judge Indy (for Independence, Texas. The birthplace of Baylor University)
- Judge Belle (for the McLane Carillon bells – housed in the iconic tower of Pat Neff Hall)
Why Your Mascot Sucks: Baylor University
Just like most universities, Baylor began its foray into collegiate sports mascot-less. Finally in 1914, George Baines Rosborough, a former student proposed that the school should hold a contest to give the university a mascot. He wanted them to have a mascot “around which to wreathe the sentiment of the school in poems and songs and yells, and in college customs which add so much to college life.”
Whatever that means.
The schools received 24 entries for the contest and when it held its vote, 206 of the 406 ballots cast came back with bear as the chosen mascot.
In 1917 U.S. Army troops came to Waco, Texas following the creation of Camp MacArthur. Members of the 107th Engineers of the Army’s 32nd Division were stationed at the camp and acquired a live bear as their mascot.
During a Baylor football game in Nov. 1917, the Engineers decided to bring their bear to the stadium with them, which the first time a bear attended a Baylor event. Or so they thought. security mistook these two for fans in 1916.
The Engineers later donated their bear to Baylor in 1918 (probably because it was a f***ing bear and had no place on an Army base).
As time has gone on, Baylor has had a number of bears on campus and living at near-by zoos, which have appeared at football games. One, even lived in a student’s backyard and shockingly got too big to live in a backyard.
No one EVER saw that coming.
And what’s the worst that could happen with a bear in a stadium?
Today, the Bill & Eva Williams Bear Habitat, which was dedicated during Homecoming in 2005, stands on campus in Hudson Plaza. The habitat provides natural landscaping with room for the bears to roam and it is licensed as by the USDA as a Class C Zoo.
C’s get degrees and Baylor knows all about that. ranked No. 76 in the nation, academically.
Who thinks they’re going to lose to Wisconsin?
Judge Joy Reynolds and Judge Sue “Lady” Sloan are the names of the bears that currently live on campus, who were named after the former university first ladies. The pair are biological sisters born in 2001 and 2002. They have been on campus since they were cubs and will likely live out the rest of their lives there.
Apart from the pair of live bears on campus, Baylor also has a pair of costumed bears as well. Baylor first introduced a costumed bear in 1981 and their bears have seen a lot of changes over the years.
And just as time has advanced, so has the mascot’s design. Baylor has used the bear above in the 1980, then moved to on a green bear in the mid 1990s, then back to a brown bear in the early 2000s, even having the bear ride a motorcycle to match interests of then football head coach, Guy Morriss.
The schools has even used an inflatable mascot, named Judge, after one of the earlier live bears that the school featured.
His strengths were being adorable and being very flexible, while his weeknesses were sharp edges.
The current design, named Bruiser was introduced in the late 2000s. Bruiser can be seen roaming the sidelines and stands at Baylor games, wearing a Baylor uniform. The detail used in Bruiser is great, featuring a full mouth of teeth and green eyes.
While bears are typically seen as a menacing beast, I think that the design of Bruiser should lean a bit more away from menacing and should focus more on being a more kid-friendly bear.
In 2017, the school decided to introduce Marigold, which would become Bruiser’s partner.
Marigold has a headband of flowers.. wait. are those marigolds. Those creative bastards! Like Bruiser, she features an open mouth, with a full set of teeth, but her canines are much smaller than her partners.
I think this is the wrong move, bears have sharp teeth, just because she is a female, doesn’t mean they should fully lean into the femininity of her design. c’mon Baylor it’s 2021. She has the headband, what more do you want from her?
And I have to be honest, I really prefer the first mascot to the current design. The lush fur, the detailing the face. it looks like a real bear! A few updates, maybe to the paws and that would be a great bear mascot, in this day and age.
Normally you see schools refine their design as time goes by and they make leaps and bounds in their designs, but Baylor seems to have hit the nail right on the head in the 1980s.
Apart from their magical appearance, these shoes also prioritize comfort and durability. They are made with soft and cushioned insoles that provide all-day wearability. The sturdy materials ensure that the shoes will withstand all the adventures and playtime that little ones can imagine.

Reviews for "Unicorn Fashion: Step into a World of Magic with Skechers"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited about the Skechers magical collection unicorn shoes for my daughter, but I ended up being disappointed. The design of the shoes was cute and my daughter loved the unicorn print, but the quality was really poor. After only a few weeks of wear, the shoes started to fall apart. The stitching came undone and the sole began to separate from the shoe. I expected better durability from a reputable brand like Skechers.
2. Mike - 1 star - I bought the Skechers magical collection unicorn shoes for my niece's birthday, thinking she would love them. Unfortunately, they turned out to be a huge disappointment. The shoes were uncomfortable and didn't provide any support or cushioning. My niece complained about her feet hurting after wearing them for a short while. Additionally, the sizing seemed off, as the shoes were either too tight or too loose. I wouldn't recommend these shoes to anyone.
3. Emily - 2 stars - While the Skechers magical collection unicorn shoes look adorable, they were not as comfortable as I hoped. The material used was stiff and didn't allow for much flexibility. My daughter found it difficult to walk or run in them without feeling restricted. The shoes also gave off a strange smell, which was quite off-putting. I was disappointed with the overall quality and comfort of these shoes, especially considering the price I paid for them.
