Did you know?
How
did Auburn's mascot "Aubie" get his start? Aubie's existence
began as a cartoon character that first appeared on the Auburn/Hardin-Simmons
football program cover on October 3, 1959. Birmingham Post-Herald artist Phil
Neel created the cartoon Tiger who continued to adorn Auburn program covers
for 18 years. Aubie's look changed through the years. In 1962, he began to stand
upright and the next year, 1963, wore clothes for the first time--a blue tie
and straw hat. Aubie's appearances on game programs proved to be somewhat of
a good luck charm for head football coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan's teams.
The Tigers were victorious in the first nine games Aubie graced the cover and
in his first six years, Auburn posted a 23-2-1 home record. Auburn's home record
during the eighteen years Aubie served as Cover Tiger was 63-16-2.
Aubie's regular appearance on the game program cover ended on October 23, 1976, when Auburn downed Florida State, 31-19, but Aubie returned to Auburn’s cover in the Iron Bowl against the Alabama on Nov. 30, 1991, Auburn's last home game at Birmingham's Legion Field. In 1979, Aubie came to life at the Southeastern Conference basketball tournament. James Lloyd, Auburn spirit director for the Student Government Association, with help from the Auburn Alumni Association, contacted Brooks-Van Horn Costumes in New York City. The suit was made by the same seamstress who made the Killer Bees costume for John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd of Saturday Night Live fame.
