The Baylor Bear mascot has long been an integral part of the Baylor University community and has come to symbolize the spirit and pride of the institution. The bear, which has served as the official mascot since 1914, represents the strength, power, and determination associated with Baylor. The name of the Baylor bear mascot has varied over the years, with different bears being given different monikers. The tradition began with the first bear mascot, which was known simply as "Teddy." Teddy was a small, black bear that was acquired by Baylor in 1917. Over time, the name Teddy became synonymous with the Baylor bear, and subsequent bears were also referred to by this name.

99 Spray sunscreen, while nothing new can be a complete lifesaver, being an easy option to use sun protection without requiring much in the way of effort and without the thicker greasy texture. Maybe I have been spoilt for radiant foundations my favourite is the new Touche Eclat Foundation from Yves Saint Laurent which is just gorgeous, but 28.
Over time, the name Teddy became synonymous with the Baylor bear, and subsequent bears were also referred to by this name. However, in 2006, the decision was made to change the name of the Baylor bear mascot to "Judge." This change was implemented to celebrate the unique history and tradition of Baylor Law School, which has produced many notable judges throughout its existence.
Another Six Drugstore Favourites
I’ve done sporadic posts detailing my favourite or essential drugstore products for a while now, however, it has been a good number of months since I’ve done one of these. I also acknowledge that I’ve been featuring slightly higher end products as of late, so I’m making he first steps in remedying the lack of drugstore content around these parts. I am definitely about the budget beauty after all…
- L ‘Oreal Sublime Sun Quick Dry SPF 50 Sheer Finish Spray ($17.99): Spray sunscreen, while nothing new can be a complete lifesaver, being an easy option to use sun protection without requiring much in the way of effort and without the thicker greasy texture. However, I find that many spray sunscreens irritate my skin, being filled with alcohol and only seem to last for a few weeks but this sunscreen is an exception. It’s moisturizing while still being the lightest weight texture, meshes well with my skin and doesn’t seem to evaporate on the skin.
- Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara in Soft Brunette ($11.99): I adore this thickening tinted brow mascara, even with the round brush and all, because it really works to tame my unruly brows and add some much-needed definition that matches my ashy toned eyebrows perfectly. It lasts for days in my brows in a way that nears being slightly annoying. I’m thinking that I might prefer this to MAC’s waterproof brow gel too but it does not add as much of a tint.
- L’Oreal Lineur Intense Brush Tip in Carbon Black ($9-10): While the brush tip is not the easiest to wield, particularly in terms of holding a smooth and steady line, it’s affordable yet allows me to create the most precise wing out of all of the liners that I have tried.
- Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in 07 Nude-Ist ($24): Bourjois is a drugstore brand (even in Canada) but it’s not exactly the most affordable, or in the pricepoint that we would associate typically associate with drugstore brands. Regardless, I love this comfortable liquid lipstick staining product because it feels velvety on the lips, lasts for ages, is not drying but is comfortable on the lips. This shade is a gorgeous slightly brightened warm rose shade that I love for an everyday lip and even better, you don’t have to worry about it smudging on coffee cups or anywhere else.
- L’Oreal Magic Lumi Concealer in Fair ($10-12): This highlighting pen runs among the fairest that I’ve ever tried and has that brightening pink tone so it works nicely on paler skin to brighten areas such as underneath the eye. However, I find that this pen works best when paired with another heavier duty concealer concentrated in the inner corners when my horrific dark circles are in sight – after all, a pale light-reflective concealer cannot cover such darkness.
- NYX Butter Lipstick ($8.99): Ever since I’ve spotted these comfortable hydrating lipsticks around drugstores here in Canada at the very end of last year, I’ve been gradually trying a small selection of them and have fallen in love with the easy flattering, pigmented formula. The most pigmented shades are the brighter and darker shades – among which I own the coral-y Fireball and the deep burgundy-berry Licorice – but the more neutral shades are nice too, including the pictured warm-toned nude, Sugar Wafer (especially when paired with some liner).
The name Judge was seen as a fitting tribute to this legacy and was met with great enthusiasm and support from the Baylor community. Since then, the Baylor bear has continued to be known as Judge, and the name has become an integral part of the Baylor identity. Judge makes appearances at various Baylor sporting events and campus activities, serving as a symbol of school spirit and pride. The mascot is adored by students, alumni, and fans alike, and the name Judge is recognized and revered throughout the Baylor community. Overall, the name of the Baylor bear mascot holds great significance and represents the history, tradition, and values of the university. The choice to name the bear Judge was a strategic and meaningful decision that has only further solidified the role of the Baylor bear as a beloved symbol of the institution..
Reviews for "Baylor Bears: The Name that Strikes Fear into Opponents"
1. Jenna - 1 star - As a long-time fan of Baylor University, I was extremely disappointed to hear that they named their bear mascot "Baylor". It is unimaginative, unoriginal, and lacks any creativity. The university had an opportunity to come up with an iconic and memorable name for their mascot, but instead, they settled for the easiest option. It just feels lazy and uninspired, and it definitely doesn't capture the spirit and uniqueness of the university. I hope in the future they reconsider and choose a name that truly represents Baylor's values and traditions.
2. Mark - 2 stars - While I understand that Baylor wanted to keep it simple with their bear mascot name, I can't help but feel that "Baylor" is a missed opportunity. There are so many other names that could have been chosen to evoke a sense of pride and excitement among fans. "Baylor" doesn't really have any personality or character attached to it. It feels like a generic name that was thrown on without much thought. I think the university could have done better and given their mascot a more meaningful and memorable name.
3. Melissa - 1 star - The decision to name the Baylor bear mascot simply "Baylor" is utterly disappointing. It lacks originality and creativity. A university with such a rich history and vibrant community could have chosen a name that embodies their unique identity. "Baylor" is just too generic and doesn't evoke any emotions or convey the spirit of the university. I expected more from Baylor, and this naming choice falls short of what the mascot should represent.
