Cowboys Primary Logo
The Wyoming Cowboys have a long and storied history in the NCAA, with their primary logo playing a major role in that story. The iconic bucking horse has been part of the school's identity since its inception, representing strength and power on the field. But what is the history behind this classic symbol? Let’s take a look at how it all began!
It all started back in 1936 when head coach Clarence "Bud" Daniel decided to use an image of a bucking bronco as his team's logo. He chose it because he felt that it perfectly represented Wyoming's spirit and ruggedness, which was something they wanted to emphasize while competing against other teams from across America. The original design featured two crossed lariats above an outline of Wyoming with “WYOMING” written underneath; however, over time minor changes were made such as adding more detail to make them look like real ropes or changing up some colors here and there for aesthetic purposes only (notably going from blue & white to brown & gold). In addition, during WWII years (1941-1945) they also added stars around the state outline so people could easily recognize them even if they weren't familiar with college sports yet!
Today you can still find this classic logo proudly displayed on uniforms or stadiums throughout Laramie County – proving just how much impact one simple design has had over time! It serves not only as a reminder for fans about where their loyalty lies but also provides us all insight into what makes Cowboy football unique: Strength through adversity combined with prideful determination no matter who stands before us on game day!
