NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas (KETK) – New Braunfels ISD has used their famous unicorn mascot for nearly 100 years, but it was almost something entirely different.

His coat of arms displayed a 'rampant blue lion… on a gold field,' according to Rebecca Villarreal, the Executive Director of Communications for New Braunfels ISD.
