The University of Arkansas athletic community chose a ferocious attacking boar as their mascot. The Arkansas Razorbacks logo, in dark red and black trim, reflects the moment of attack, symbolizing a commitment to history, focus, and a willingness to win.

Meaning and History
The debut logo of the sports department is dated the 1872 year and radically different from the current one. The image of the boar appeared thanks to the nickname of the athletes and is copied from a real Russian-born boar weighing 400 pounds. His name was Tusk. The current mascot is his direct descendant and is kept at the Stokes family farm in Dardanelles. The hog is depicted at the time of the attack. He is focused on the opponent and demonstrates his readiness to “tear him to shreds” with his powerful fangs-cutters, from where the name of the team came.
But in the early versions, the pig was a parody drawn in a humorous style. This image was borrowed from the trainer Hugo Bezdek, who, after the match between the athletes and LSU, said that they played like a herd of fanged hogs. So in the 1910th year, the name of the team and the mascot were changed (at first it acted as Arkansas Cardinals). From the previous emblem, the only maroon remained.
