Ever since the Beavs started fielding teams all the way back in the 20th century, good ole Benny the Beaver has been a mainstay for OSU as far as merchandising and marketing goes. Benny’s image is also a symbol of the Oregon State spirit and has been used on team helmets and uniforms for many of those years as well.
How the school depicts Benny has changed a few times over past few decades, with each iteration seemingly going for a little more of a modern look. Some people prefer the classics though, which is why throwbacks still get made and worn proudly all over Corvallis and beyond.
