Frontier Airlines (2nd) (Denver) has announced three new college sponsorships. Three of Frontier’s popular tail image animals are drawing battle lines, sporting team colors and shouting fight songs across the tarmac in preparation for the 2010/2011 college sports season. The company is now the official airline of Colorado State University, University of Colorado and University of Wyoming athletics and has appointed Stanley the bighorn sheep (on N202FR), Humphrey the American bison (on N806FR) and Sally the mustang (on N203FR) as the official animals of these teams.

The carrier will serve as the exclusive airline partner for football and men’s and women’s basketball at all three schools. The partnership will include a Frontier Day at both a CSU and CU football game where the airline will distribute thousands of promotional cards that can be used for discounted air travel. Frontier Day at CSU is October 16, and November 13 at CU.

Frontier inked three-year deals with each program lasting through the 2012/2013 season. Fans can expect to see Frontier signage at each of the school’s football and basketball facilities.
