Hey Reb! was a mascot for the UNLV Rebels, the athletic teams of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada, USA. He performed live at all UNLV athletic events. The mascot, Hey Reb!, was first created in 1983 to depict the embodiment of an independent, rebel spirit at UNLV athletic events, intended as a tribute to western settlers. In the aftermath of the George Floyd protests, the statue of the mascot was removed due to concerns of racist symbolism, and the mascot itself was permanently retired for similar reasons, with no replacement mascot announced.
