The large C in the shape of the footprint of a beast of prey is the logo of the Cincinnati Bearcats, a local university sports community. The name was given by an enigmatic mascot “born” from the motto of the soccer fans, “Come on, Baehr-Cat!” who supported the Leonard K. “Teddy” Baehr game.

The Sports Department is named after the Bearcat mascot. It appeared in 1914 when footballers from the University of Cincinnati competed with the British Wildcats. One of the key figures playing for the Cincinnati team was Leonard K. “Teddy” Baehr. In the second half of the match, the fans began to support him with applause and shouts of “Come on, Baehr-Cat!”.
Meaning and History
On most emblems after the 1950s. The same mysterious beast Bearcat is presented. As conceived by the authors, this is a cross between a cat and a bear, but at first, it was painted as a wolverine. A similar image is found on the 1959-1968 brand name. The animal depicted is very reminiscent of a bear, although it humps its back and rears its hair like a cat. The composition was supplemented by the inscription “Cincinnati Bearcats.”
In 1983, the name of the sports teams was removed. Only the Bearcat head remained, placed in a double ring, and turned in full face. The beast hisses, showing four sharp fangs. In 1990, artists abandoned the image of a predatory wolverine and replaced it with a gray cat, which militantly strides forward. Her raised paw matches the second letter, “C” in the word “Cincinnati.” This part of the picture became the next logo.
