Rameses, the mascot of UNC Chapel Hill, is a beloved tradition of Tar Heel Nation, making appearances at sports and other community events. The mascot is part of Carolina royalty, and can appear as both a live ram — horns painted Carolina Blue, with a UNC blanket thrown over his wooly white coat — and as a student wearing the Rameses costume with flair, adding to the team spirit. Anywhere the mascot appears “everyone gets happy and everyone unites,” says a student of the live ram (a tradition dating back to 1924). Whichever is the favorite, Rameses reigns.
