From 1996 to 2012, Maryland used this illustration of Testudo as their primary logo. The origins of Testudo’s name are fuzzy – even the university isn’t fully sure. It’s possible Maryland turned the scientific name for turtles, testudines, into a mascot nickname. Or, in ancient times, testudos were used as protective “shells” for Roman soldiers, which gives his name a classic connection. Finally, he might simply be named for a giant tortoise native to Aldabra and Seychelles, testudo gigantea.
