Texas A&M values traditions highly, many of which revolve around the sports in which the school competes. A few of the athletic traditions of Texas A&M include:

  • The 12th Man – The entire student body is referred to as The 12th Man after E. King Gill stood ready to play on the sidelines in 1922.
  • The Aggie War Hymn – The War Hymn is played at athletic events during the game and after a win.
  • Aggie Bonfire – Built and burned before the annual football game with the University of Texas. Bonfire is now an off-campus event after the university cancelled it following the 1999 collapse.
  • Fightin' Texas Aggie Band – The Aggie Band is the largest military-style marching band in the United States and performs at halftime during the football games.
  • Midnight Yell Practice – Held the night before a home game, the student body gathers at Kyle Field to excite the crowd.
  • Yell Leaders – Attending many events, wearing uniforms modeled after a milkman uniform the yell leaders use hand signals to keep the crowd yelling in unison.
  • Gig 'em – The slogan used by Aggie supporters, often accompanied with a thumbs-up sign, the first hand sign of the Southwest Conference.
  • Reveille – The official mascot of Texas A&M since 1931. Since Reveille II, all A&M mascots have been collies.
  • Maroon Out – One designated home football game of the year is a "maroon out" game. All Aggies are instructed to wear maroon.
