Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the most used mascot in college football is? It might influence some of my college fan gear purchases. Respond if you know!
The most commonly used mascot among colleges in the United States is the eagle. This might be surprising, given the popularity of lions and tigers in professional sports, but it makes sense. The eagle is a symbol of freedom and strength in American culture, making it a fitting mascot for institutions of higher learning.
You'll find the eagle as the mascot for schools such as Boston College, Auburn University, Georgia Southern University, Marquette University, and Southern Mississippi University, among many others.
However, remember that mascots can vary from school to school, and some schools, like Stanford for instance, have unique mascots (such as the Tree). So, while you'll likely find a good amount of eagle gear, don't overlook some of the more unique and fun mascot gear from other colleges!
