Aubie, Auburn's costumed tiger mascot, is a spirit leader and goodwill ambassador for Auburn University. A popular character among Auburn fans and one of the most animated mascots in the country, Aubie is the living spirit of Auburn. His striking good looks, personal appeal, and daring antics combine to make the character fans cannot ignore. It is often said women love him, children adore him, and men want to be him.
Aubie has won a record ten mascot national championships — more than any other mascot in the United States. Aubie was named the 2014 Capital One Mascot of the Year and was among the first three college mascots inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame in 2006.
Aubie's existence began as a cartoon character that first appeared on the Auburn vs. Hardin-Simmons football program cover on October 3, 1959. Birmingham Post-Herald Artist Phil Neel created the cartoon tiger that continued to adorn Auburn program covers for 18 years.
