The appellation of Baylor bear mascot has a long and storied history. The bear has been a symbol of Baylor University since 1914, when it was selected as the official athletic mascot. The choice of a bear was meant to embody the strength, power, and resilience of the Baylor community. Over the years, the bear has become synonymous with Baylor and is beloved by students, alumni, and fans alike. The appellation of the mascot has evolved over time, with several different bears being named and serving as the official mascot. The current bear, named Judge Joy Reynolds, has been the mascot since 200.

1. John - 1/5
I was really disappointed with the choice of the Baylor bear mascot. The design of the mascot is so generic and unoriginal. It lacks any creativity and does not represent the spirit and uniqueness of the university. I expected something more memorable and iconic for such a prestigious institution. Overall, I found the appellation of the Baylor bear mascot to be a major letdown.
2. Sarah - 2/5
I was expecting a more fierce and powerful representation of the Baylor bear mascot, but it ended up looking cartoonish and unimpressive. The costume is poorly made and does not appear as professional as one would expect. It's a shame because Baylor University has such a strong athletic program and they deserved a mascot that truly embodies their strength and competitive spirit. I hope they reconsider and introduce a better-designed mascot in the future.
3. Michael - 2/5
The choice of the Baylor bear mascot feels unoriginal and lacks personality. It's just another generic bear costume that you can find at any costume store. I was hoping for a mascot that stands out from the crowd and truly represents the school's pride and values. The appellation of this mascot is a missed opportunity to create something memorable and unique for Baylor University.
4. Emily - 1/5
I don't understand why Baylor University would choose such a boring and uninspiring mascot. The bear costume lacks any kind of charm or excitement. It looks like a cheap knockoff of other bear mascots. I expected more from a university with such a rich history and tradition. The appellation of the Baylor bear mascot is simply underwhelming and fails to capture the true spirit of the school.
