Youth UC Bearcats

Introduction

It was a crisp, Halloween afternoon in 1914 when the University of Cincinnati was first christened the Bearcats.

During a game against the Kentucky Wildcats, Cincinnatis star fullback, Teddy Baehr (really!), inspired one cheerleader to improvise a surprisingly catchy chant: They may be Wildcats, but we have a Baehr-cat on our side. The raucous crowd followed, and by the next-days school newspaper, a cartoonist had immortalized the Baehr-cats for the ages. Only one minor edit: BEARcats. The rest is history. Throw this super-soft kids’ tee onto your future Bearcat.
