years later, a costumed bear first made its appearance at the start of Baylor's 1981–1982 basketball season. This version of the bear did not last too long as a different version of the bear appeared in mid- to late-1980s. Bruiser was modified two more times until the current version of Bruiser was introduced in late 2000s. In 2017, Baylor Spirit introduced Marigold as Bruiser's partner. Marigold is usually seen wearing a yellow Baylor Line jersey. See also List of college athletic programs in Texas References External links
