The team gets its name from people who worked on train locomotives and were called boilermakers. With the university so close to the Monon railyard, there was a point in history when opposing teams assumed that the team was hiring train workers to play Purdue football. The official mascot for Purdue is the Boilermaker Special, which is a Victorian-era railroad locomotive. The vehicle is built on a golf cart chassis and operated by the Purdue Reamer Club. The current iteration of the mascot is The Boilermaker X-tra Special VIII, which first appeared at the Minnesota Golden Gophers vs Purdue Boilermakers football game in 2017. When a local artist drew a cartoon version of the mascot, a university official called it Pete and with that, the university’s secondary mascot was coined Purdue Pete.
