Nickname
Rams - The letter "A" adorns the western hillside of Fort Collins. Colorado State University was formally called Colorado A & M, and students were referred to as "Aggies." The "A" was first white-washed in 1924. It became a tradition for freshmen to paint the letter every year. The Tradition continues today.
The ram was named the official mascot of Colorado State in 1946. By the end of the decade, the nickname of "Aggies" had evolved to "Aggie Rams," and eventually became simply "Rams."
