Baylor Bear Claw "Sic 'Em, Bears" or Texas State University (TSU) Cat Claw Brass Hand Sculpture

$186.00

Brand PRIZE

In 1960, Baylor University's yell leaders introduced the Bear Claw Hand Sign.  The sign is made by slightly curving all five fingers inward to form a claw.  The use of both the hand signal and the "Sic 'Em, Bears" yell was sporadic until Grant Teaff arrived as Baylor's head football coach in 1972. Teaff initiated a new era of Baylor football, and the "Bear Claw" and "Sic 'Em, Bears" yell came to symbolize pride in Baylor University athletics.

Our PRIZE Baylor Bear Claw ("Sic 'Em, Bears") or Texas State University (TSU) Cat Claw ("Eat 'Em Up, Cats") Hand Sculpture in Brass makes a great congratulatory gift for Baylor University or TSU students, graduates and alumni alike!

PRIZE Brass Sculptures are created in brass using the ancient method of lost wax casting and then are polished by hand to achieve a high gloss finish. Due to the handmade nature of the item, some variations may occur.  The bottom of each sculpture is felted to protect any surface.

A meaning card is included with each piece to explain and highlight the symbolism.  Please specify Baylor or Texas State in the oder notes, so that the correct meaning card will be included.
