This shirt features a captivating retro rendition of Paydirt Pete, carrying his prospecting gear and dressed like a cowboy. The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) has proudly used the “Miners” nickname since its founding. However, it faced challenges in choosing a mascot until Paydirt Pete emerged in the 70s. Initially, the Miners had a burro mascot named Clyde, accompanied by a student dressed as a prospector. After replacing Clyde with another burro, Henry, the Miners tried a precursor to Paydirt Pete named “Sweet Pete.”
