Did you know UGA's first mascot wasn’t a bulldog?

For Georgia’s inaugural football game against Auburn on February 22, 1892, in Atlanta, the mascot wasn’t the iconic English Bulldog, but a goat. Old newspaper clippings reveal that the goat wore a black coat adorned with red "U.G." letters on each side and a hat decorated with ribbons hanging from his high horns. Auburn fans taunted throughout the game, shouting, "Shoot the billy-goat."

The familiar line of solid white English bulldogs began with Uga I, Hood’s Ole Dan, born December 2, 1955, in Columbus. Gifted to Cecelia Seiler by Frank Heard, he made his debut at the 1956 home opener, as shown in the picture. Cecelia crafted his first jerseys from altered children’s t-shirts, which quickly wore out, especially during hot games. Uga I sought shade under Sanford Stadium’s hedges, but the rough greenery often tore his jerseys, requiring constant replacements.
