New mascot for Bradley?
- Thread starter Da Coach
- Start date
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.
if I saw something like that patrolling the sidelines, I would throw an empty beer cup at it! lol :lol:
Why?

It doesn't have to make sense, doesn't have to be 'indigenous', and doesn't have to have a tie to the history of the school. Sure, those would all be nice. However, the NCAA seems to have stripped us of the right to do that as we please. It just has to be fun and marketable. I think bringing back 'Tommy Hawk' or something similar would probably be as close as we could get to getting something that hits at least 2 of the 3 items I mentioned above (indigenous, ties to the past).
IMHO, it has nothing pertaining to BU except for the letter B. I like SFP's gargoyle idea as it pertains to Bradley and seems to be unique. I would also throw an empty beer cup at the WKU blob as well. ;-):lol:
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.

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?

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.

Might as well just get Sponge Bob Squarepants
Oh, and for the record SFP and Beninator I HATE the Gargoyle idea. :lol: 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?

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!
