Since the University of Wyoming opened its doors in Laramie in March 1886-four years before Wyoming entered the Union as the 44th state-the brown-and-gold standard has defined collegiate pride across the High Plains. The Wyoming Cowboys Pistol Pete 140th Anniversary Vinyl Figure marks the 1886-2026 milestone by translating the sideline mascot into a freestanding three-dimensional collectible. From the wide-brimmed yellow cowboy hat bearing brown COWBOYS block lettering and a dark brown hatband to the thick, sweeping handlebar mustache and furrowed brow, every contour reflects the frontier grit associated with War Memorial Stadium and the Arena-Auditorium.
Sculpted Western Attire & 1886-2026 Collector Box Details

Rather than relying on a flat cutout, this figure captures the layered textures of Pistol Pete's game-day outfit in full relief. A knotted yellow neck bandana rests over a brown-and-gold plaid long-sleeve shirt and a buttoned yellow vest, while a brown gun belt with a right-hip holster sits above textured fleece-style yellow woolly chaps and brown cowboy boots. Beside the figure, the white-and-brown window display box (numbered #140 under the POP! COLLEGE header) features the gold Steamboat bucking horse and rider silhouette, a circular 140 YEARS badge, and a lower brown ribbon reading 140TH ANNIVERSARY * 1886-2026 * POWDER RIVER, LET 'ER BUCK!
- Out-of-Box or In-Box Display: Keep Pistol Pete housed inside the #140 clear-window collector box to preserve the 1886-2026 packaging graphics, or place the freestanding figure directly beside game-day tickets, framed diplomas, or bookshelf memorabilia.
- High-Contrast Western Detailing: Clean paint separation defines the plaid shirt check pattern, gold vest buttons, holstered revolver grip, and brown COWBOYS hat lettering without color bleed.
- Simple Dusting & Shelf Care: Wipe the figure and clear box window gently with a dry microfiber cloth, and position away from direct window sunlight to keep the brown and gold tones sharp over time.
Built for University of Wyoming alumni, Laramie students, and collegiate mascot collectors, this 140th Anniversary Pistol Pete figure brings the spirit of 1886-2026 and the rallying cry of Powder River right to an office desk, study shelf, or fan cave display.
