Team nicknames and mascots were also introduced early in collegiate football history. Perhaps the first known mascot was Yale's bulldog Handsome Dan who made his first appearance in 1889.
While many nicknames relate to animals, occupations, or other unique localized traits, many more schools utilize more generic images for their nicknames. The three most common college nicknames are Eagles, Tigers, and cougars.
