The History Behind the Weagle Eagle

During the 1976-1980 football seasons coach Doug Barfield featured an eagle design as incentive stickers that would be used on the backs of the football helmets.

The eagle was also featured on the front of the football programs, Auburn Football Illustrated.

The eagle would be the first official stylized logo of War Eagle featured by the school.

Auburn is officially the Tigers, and although they aren't the eagles, War Eagle will forever be a part of Auburn as will this timeless symbol of the spirit that War Eagle carries with it.!
