Caretakers of the Boilermaker Special and X-tra Special. Keepers of the traditions and history of PU!

10/27/2026

Today marks the reveal of the smaller version of Purdue's official mascot, the Boilermaker Xtra Special! The Xtra was unveiled to the university on October 27th, 1979. The Xtra has since served as Purdue's mascot for 47 years! There have been 8 iterations of the BMS thus far, with 3 of them being the Xtra! We the members of the Purdue Reamer Club, the sole caretakers, are proud to wish the Boilermaker Xtra Special a Happy Birthday!!
