Hutto Hippos
there is more than one local legend about the beginnings of Hutto's unique symbol. One is that the big Swedish and German farmboys of Hutto were playing their smaller foes in football back in the day, and the visiting coach exclaimed, "We can’t beat those boys! They’re big as hippos!"
Another story, also based on gridiron lore, is that the Hutto football team in the early twenties had no real jerseys and used feed sacks as their uniforms. The opposing coach allegedly said that the football team looked like a bunch of hippos in their makeshift outfits.
