                                       Fun & Interesting KSU Facts:

     Wildcat Nickname:
     The nickname Wildcats was given to the football team in 1915 by Coach Chief Bender
     because of the squad's "fighting spirit." The nickname was changed to "Farmers" in 
     1916 (prior to 1915, Kansas State teams had been known as the "Aggies"), but Coach
     Charles Bachman switched back to the Wildcat nickname in 1920.

      School Colors:
      The school color Royal Purple was adopted in the fall of 1896 by a committee of Miss
      Minnie L. Copeland, Jr., Miss Winnifred Houghton and Miss Ina E. Holyrod of the
      senior class, and perhaps one or more others. Although K-State's only official color is
      purple, white has been used as a complimentary color for many years. Silver is also a
      common second or third color. Former head basketball Coach Cotton Fitzsimmons
      incorporated gold during his two-year stint (1968-70), but gold or yellow has not been 
      used since that time. The term "Purple Pride," which is often used in association with
      KSU athletics, was given rise during the tenure of head football Coach Vince Gibson
      (1967-74).
