Vaquero Voice

“I’m really indifferent towards it, but If I had to say anything, I think it’s a lot better than what it was. I mean, it shows that we have an originality and it’s unique to us. The vaquero is, like, we’re Mexican-American and we have a vaquero instead of calling it a cowboy. We have it where it’s our culture, which is actually pretty cool.”

“I haven’t seen it actually. … It’s kind of weird, I don’t know, I don’t like it. It looks too formal, not very schoolish, you know? I don’t know, I picture a school mascot like a very big suit, when people are a tiger or whatever the school mascot is. I don’t picture that as a mascot. To me, that just looks like a costume.”

“You know, I really like it. I think it’s very adequate and goes along well with the theme and really brings out the spirit of the UTRGV, you know, being vaqueros and vaqueras and everything else. It’s going to be a great season.”

“I think the design is really clean, awesome and cool. … I like the colors. I like the scarf that they put on it, the way it’s trimmed to the body. There’s a lot of little things here and there that were really nice, the boots. … Mostly the colors, that’s what pops out the most.”
