Mascot

University Mascot

Mascot History

As part of a redesign in 2019 to reflect the branding changes, UNT Dallas Marketing & Student Affairs staff partnered to bring us a new, fiery Trailblazer. The mascot promotes school spirit and embodies the phrase: Blaze Your Trail. This Trailblazer uplifts the campus community, friends and family of the university, and our university partners.
