WHAT’S A BILLIKEN?

The Billiken is a symbol of good luck that became a national craze in the early 1900s. In 1908, art teacher Florence Pretz received a patent for her version of the mythical figure. Later, the Billiken Co. of Chicago adopted the likeness, giving the Billiken its name. Manufactured as a bank and statuette, the Billiken reached its peak of popularity in 1911. Its association with SLU can be traced back to around 1910, when local sportswriters thought that SLU football coach John Bender bore a striking resemblance to the impish creature. One writer drew a cartoon of Bender as a Billiken, posted it in a drugstore window and dubbed the football team “Bender’s Billikens.” The public took up the moniker, and it soon became the official MEMBER OF THE NCAA DIVISION I nickname of all SLU teams.
