While it might seem like a fantasy, the Unicorn mascot is actually used by several schools, and one of the most famous examples is New Braunfels High School in Texas. This mythological creature, often associated with magic and fantasy, has been the symbol of school spirit at NBHS for over 100 years. The story goes that the Unicorn might have originated from a misinterpreted coat of arms featuring a lion, where an ear or a crown spike was mistaken for a horn. At NBHS, you'll find Eugene and Eunice, the male and female Unicorn mascots, and even a large paper-mâché mascot named Buford that travels to games and events 🏆. It's a unique and cute mascot that definitely stands out, and it's not just NBHS; other schools also embrace this whimsical symbol of their school pride.
