 ====== Bleuteaux 1984-1991 ======
 ===== History =====
-Marquette has both "Bleuteaux" and "Blueteaux" as spelling for the creature. Even the Marquette Tribune was never able to select a specific spelling. Bleuteaux was a blue "muppet like creature." He served as Marquette's official mascot from 1984-1991. He was often seen wearing a blue and gold beret, and a simple Marquette basketball jersey, but that changed depending on the year and the sport.

 Originally Bleuteaux was to be known as the “Big Blue,” but due to copyright restrictions, thanks to the University of Kentucky whose mascot was also known as Big Blue, the nickname was not viable.
