New mascot for Bradley?

[SaintLouBrave22]

I've seen a few Bulldogs on a few hats this year for Butler with a BU in the back of the hat. A Gargoyle if done right could resemble a Bulldog. That thing you created looks to much like the blob which would be great for small kids but for merchandising I'd have to say you are looking at an older crowd the 4-5 year olds.

IF marketed well and given the right fit, just about anything can sell well...



Two things, the team nickname CANNOT change just be enhanced with a new logo that fits to Braves (ex a lion) AND the team colors CANNOT change...

I don't really care what you think...I was just taking a stab at it.

No offense taken or intended.

I do however, think its a slippery slope when you change the mascot to something like a gargoyle or a squirrel instead of something more inanimate like a big letter or even a blob.

Western Kentucky will never be known as the WKU Blobs - they'll always be the Hilltoppers. But I feel it makes it really easy to change our controversial/traditional nickname if you start slapping a squirrel on t-shirts, hats, cups, etc. Eventually, we'll just end up being known as the Squirrels.

Thoughts?

What about a group of arrows through a B?


For just the logo...think something a little like the FSU secondary logo...


Mascot...how about a Robin Hood type character in red/black?

Difference is that they are Butler Bulldogs - Not the Bradley Braves Gargoyles.

Another school unfairly targeted, William and Mary, has stuck with the 'Tribe' as their nickname, but has recently adopted a new mascot that has absolutely nothing to do with their school or name.

A mascot doesn't need to be elaborate or change the nickname. It can be something related without disrupting tradition.

How about something like this guy...I made him special this morning.




He needs a little refinement...but I'd be fine with something like this patrolling our sidelines.

Might as well just get Sponge Bob Squarepants




Oh, and for the record SFP and Beninator I HATE the Gargoyle idea. Nothin' personal.

Not taken that way at all! I liked the gargoyle idea as there isn't much if anything we can do with Braves. Although, I also like the Captain Brave idea as well.

I just believe that if we do go with a mascot then it needs to be able to look good on merchandise for all ages. Right now I have a green (GF purchased it) BradleyBraves legend baseball hat that I'm happy with.

BTW...why are these legend hats green?

How about new colors? Pink and Orange

If left to the students, I suspect someone would come up with the nickname, "Fighting Keggars!" and the mascot would be dressed in a beer keg with a big red "BU" on the side!

If left to the BU prez, I wouldn't be surprised to see the new nickname "The Abstainers" and the mascot could be a giant plastic bottle of Dasani water, with the BU logo on the side...Would support the Prez's campaign to reduce underage drinking....think of the corporate sponsorship possibilities!

Sorry SFP not on board with this one... It looks too much like a tattoo!

Most mascots I've seen, especially at Major League baseball games, have nothing to do with the teams's nickname, just something to run around.

I thought people from Philly were huge and green. I haven't been there since I was very little so I forget..

How about a guy that looks like this that runs around?
