Bradley mascot

[SFP]

Another discussion about our mascot. There will be 4 more gargoyles living at Bradley! I have to say they would make a great mascot for the university. If anyone can please take a few pics and post them!

If done correctly it would be a great mascot.

Why? There's history and they would make a great caricature for hats, costumes and what not. I always like the ones on Bradley Hall.

I've said for years that the gargoyle would be Bradley's best choice for a mascot. It's completely unique, it's marketable and it's just plain cool looking.

Someone brought this up in a painful "mascot" thread a few years back....and was roundly shouted down

It could be a good caracature if done right and blended into a logo.

It definitely could be done well. I don't believe any college has a gargoyle as a mascot.

I can only think of one that would be better...

I'd be happy if we had a Gargoyle mascot.


But changing our name to the Bradley Gargoyles would sound as good as being named the Bradley Nematodes.

If you thought Free Mason's had a lot of power, they're nothing compared to the Gargoyle society

If Cat keeps ponying up $$$ for BU, suggest the Bradley Bulldozers!

Better yet, BU could sell the mascot rights to Cat for BIG $$$....

We are the Bradley BRAVES. If we can't have a Brave for a mascot, IMO nothing else makes sense.

I respectfully disagree and will call to the witness stand Georgetown University. Georgetown's tradition makes Bradley look like a newbie. Once college athletics became big earlier in the century, Georgetown realized that their team name Hoya was pretty much meaningless for mascot purposes. So they adopted a bulldog as a mascot which you see on just about everything Georgetown ... even though they are still the Hoyas.

Bradley needs to get off the dime and create a mascot be it a Gargoyle (which I like), a clock (which I like), a Cat (also acceptable), or something else. Just do it and do it right.
