Lil Red

Lil' Red is one of two active mascots of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and the Nebraska Cornhuskers. He was created in 1993, initially intended to represent the school's volleyball team and appeal to younger fans. Lil' Red quickly became popular and his use was expanded across all sports. He is depicted as an inflatable farm boy wearing red overalls and a sideways hat, and is often seen with Herbie Husker.
