The United States Naval Academy’s Bill The Goat is one of the oldest mascots in the history of football. The mascot was first used in 1893. Originally only a live goat was used but since the 1960s a costumed midshipman has worn the goat head in addition to having a live goat. This Bill the Goat head is believed to be from the 1960s and we have been told by our consignor that it is one of the earliest versions of the costume. Due to size, weight and fragility this piece will require additional shipping and handling charges.
