The Wildcats got their nickname in 1909 after a 6 - 2 football win. Commandant Carbusier, the head of the State University military department, publicly praised Kentucky's football team, saying they “played like wildcats.” The nickname stuck, and we're so glad it did, as it gives us amazing vintage logos like this one.
