Pistol Pete is the official mascot of Oklahoma State University, depicted as a rugged, mustachioed cowboy in a wide-brimmed orange hat, bandana, and chaps emblazoned with “OSU.” He brandishes two revolvers-one holstered, one drawn-embodying the bold, competitive spirit of the university’s athletic programs. The design originates from a 1920s depiction of Frank Eaton, a real-life U.S. Marshal and OSU alumnus known as “Pistol Pete.”
