The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) sports teams are known as the Miners (men's teams) and Lady Miners (women's teams), a nod to the university's origins as the "State School of Mines and Metallurgy."

UTEP Miners Logo History

The "Miners" nickname stems from the school's original focus on mining and metallurgy, a theme that is reflected in the university's logo. The emblem prominently features a miner figure holding his main tool, symbolizing the mining heritage. Surrounding the miner are stylized hills in shades of grey and dark blue, evoking the mountainous terrain. Below the figure, the abbreviation “UTEP” is displayed in large, italicized letters, with the word “Miners” beneath it in a smaller, italicized font.
