Hand Signal

At game time, Cougar fans show their support

by making the "cougar sign," made by folding the ring finger of the right hand toward the palm.

The tradition dates back to 1953, when Shasta I,

the presiding cougar mascot, lost a toe in a cage door on her way to a game. The opposing team, the University of Texas, mocked UH by imitating the cougar's injury. The Cougars soon adopted that gesture as a symbol of pride.
