30 Best College Football Mascots of All-Time
22. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets – Ramblin’ Wreck
The term Ramblin’ Wreck has been used to refer to the Georgia Tech student body and alumni since the late 1800s referring to the makeshift vehicles Tech engineering students made with whatever parts they could get their hands on.
A 1930 Ford Model A Sport coupe now serves as the mascot for the students at Georgia Tech, and it’s got a much cooler story than the Yellow Jacket that serves as the team’s name. Since 1961, the Ramblin’ Wreck has led the football team into Bobby Dodd Stadium.
Best of all, the Ramblin’ Wreck is also used at the end of the school season to give one last ride to any faculty and staff that are retiring at Georgia Tech. Talk about a great way to head into retirement by taking this for one last spin.
