New Mexico State: Aggies Lasso New Logo




Aggies Lasso New Logo: As part of a larger marketing campaign, New Mexico State will unveil a new mascot this fall – Pete. The mascot, plain ol’ Pete, replaces Pistol Pete because school officials decided to remove the firearm in favor of a lasso. The mascot formerly known as Pistol Pete – surprise, surprise – featured a cowboy holding a pistol. Officials said they did not make the change because of public pressure to remove the weapon from products but rather because the new image looked best among a number of proposed designs. The school also opted to only use crimson and white on sports uniforms, eliminating all black trim.
