How do you guys have two mascots?
by: Lol srryHi. So I go to a Big 12 school and I have never been interested in Auburn until today I came across a senior picture of girls from my high school. One had on an Auburn Tigers shirt and the other one had on a War Eagle shirt. Both for Auburn. How do you guys have two mascots? Why is it War Eagle and wouldn’t your mascot just be an eagle why do you need to animals. I am very confused

So in the early days of football before the SEC before the NCAA there were unofficial leagues around the southeast.
The name the “tigers” were give as nicknames to the really good teams that won divisions for several years in a row. This was before mascots existed. During this time auburn was also referred to as the Plainsmen or the tigers since the were good in the 1800s. During the 1900s is when teams really started getting mascots so auburn adopted their nickname into their mascot
