The varsity teams competing for the Prairie View A&M University in Texas are known as the Prairie View A&M Panthers and Lady Panthers.
Meaning and history
Although the panther has been the centerpiece of the Prairie View A&M Panthers logo since at least 1991, the creature has not looked the same. The panther has been modified five times.
The original one looked pretty abstract, with its muzzle broken down into two parts. The following panther (1998) was given in black over the gold background and was facing to the left. In 2002, the panther turned to the right, while in 2011 the large lettering “PVAMU” appeared in front of the animal, which has remained during the latest update (2015).
