Retry Correct Incorrect SMU claimed in a press release after losing a college football game in 1963 that the Mustang was named after their mascot. The release said that Lee Iacocca told the team this after the game in the locker room, “After watching the SMU Mustangs play with such flair, we reached a decision.
