Temoc /ˈtiːˌmɒk/ (/tēˌmäk/) is the name of the official mascot of The University of Texas at Dallas, while the student body are known collectively as the Comets. He is an anthropomorphic astronomical being created to represent a "comet in a human form". Temoc is depicted with icey bluish-white skin, a muscular physique, a strong cartoony smile (with no nose), fiery orange hair, and has black laced boots with a comet icon on the side. He is usually seen wearing UT Dallas branded orange and green t-shirts paired with gym shorts. UTD athletic teams first officially used the mascot name "Comets" in 1981. Temoc, the mascot character, was created and later officially recognized by the university in 1998. The official specialty Temoc logo was adopted by the university in 2017. Temoc is often seen at varsity sports games, on-campus events, and graduation ceremonies and will typically pose for pictures. Additionally, he participates with the UT Dallas cheerleaders and Power Dancers team to boost school spirit. Annual auditions are held to select students to wear the Temoc costume. However, the identity of those who wear the mascot suit is kept secret, only to be unveiled during a graduation commencement in an event known as "Temoc Reveal". Former student mascot representatives that graduate will wear Temoc's costume gloves (hands) with their cap and gown as they walk across the stage to accept their diplomas. (en) |
