Five students sported the UNK mascot costume at the Louie the Loper tryouts last week to compete for the $1,000 scholarship. For the upcoming semester, UNK Athletics formed a Louie team, consisting of two identities and two managers.
It’s a different approach to shape Louie’s identity.
“We actually decided to kind of make it more of a team and so we are taking on two Louies, and then two people that will kind of be Louie handlers or managers,” said Alex Jenn, director of ticket operations. “They’ll all be trained, the exact same, so they’ll all know Louie in and out.”
