Buckingham U. Badger, best known as Bucky, clearly deserves to be in the Mascot Hall of Fame.
UW Spirit Squad director Josette Scheer joined “a couple of the Buckys” to put together an application that included video footage and newspaper clips on Bucky. It noted that he debuted in 1949 as a papier-mache headpiece made by an art student and worn by a cheerleader.
