Attention Forever Buffs: We're Getting An Emoji To Show Our Love For CU!

(CBS4) -- Colorado State University fans have had access to an emoji of a ram since 2010. But starting in mid-2020, fans of the University of Colorado will finally have a way to express our pride on social media, without saying a word. Sure, we've had black and yellow hearts (and a football, books, pizza and beer) -- but we're about to get the iconic emoji we've always needed! It might technically be a bison, but it will instantly be adopted by Forever Buffs everywhere.

Subtly placed between a beaver and a dodo bird, under a black cat and a tombstone, is the animal all CU students will recognize as the most superior creature of all time.

Additionally, many of the new emoji being introduced in 2020 are focused on inclusivity -- including a transgender flag, a woman in a tuxedo, a man in a bride veil, a gender-neutral person feeding a baby and person in a Santa hat (in all skin tones).
