Bradley branding and mascot

[Future Walk-On]

hey I got it.

The Bradley Bluff

Like "we are the BLUFF" because the school is up on a bluff

togetherness, pride, intimidation. sign and seal

Our mascot could be perhaps a NA warrior or something?

[Future Walk-On]

maybe I should know this....

but is the Chiefs club now that Braves club? and when did it change?

[TNel]

I was hooked by the 1949-50 Bradley Braves squad and all the genuine fervor they generated. Kept a scrapbook with articles and photos of every game that season and the next. Ate too many Braves Ice Cream Bars produced by Rozelle's Dairy. And wished my grade school's nickname was the Braves instead of the Red Devils. Can't imagine any other nickname for my team than the Braves and indicated that in the survey.

St. Bernard's?

correct - the Chief's Club changed to the Braves Club about 5 years ago - just further effort to wipe out any reference to anything "Native American"

btw - spoke with a friend who is in the business locally of screen printing T-shirts, logos, and selling apparrel & memorabilia...
and he said a few things about Bradley's new logos but I will only repeat a few of them...
..they are rather simplistic, and that extremely few people have inquired about items with the new logo - a noticable difference from when a school usually creates a new logo and there's an initial surge of interest and people wanting to buy...

he suggested that if BU want's their logo to identify the school better - especially with people who do not instantly know where we are located, that we should have included some reference in the logo like these people do...

St. Bernard's?

Yep. St. Bernard's/Red Devils. Go figure.

I don't know how much it matters, but as a point, all of those schools are public state universities.

Do any private institutions use the state in which they are located in their logo?

[Da Coach]

I don't know about having the state included, but a ton of private schools jazz up their logos with something other than just a letter-

Honestly you guys here much have way too much time to burn. I really do not care nearly that much what our logo, mascot or name is as our lack of winning. Gonzaga uses a G and Butler uses a B for the most part. Without looking ot up does anyone know what Gonzaga's mascot is? Butler has a bulldog for crying out loud. The only tradition I want to be known for is WINNNING! Mascots for the most part is a great marketing vehicle to sell merchandise and some branding. I guess this distraction takes us from the fact that our program is in a re-building mode.

BTW...Have any of you ever heard of a recruit say that they chose a school over another because of the mascot? I didn't think so.

Actually, Butler's logo is not a "B" at all. Their logo prominently features the Bulldog, with or without the block Butler name-

Also, Gonzaga's logo is also never just a "G".
It is a GU, or a block "Gonzaga University", but never without the menacing bulldog.

Both are Bulldogs? Maybe we should be The Bradley Bulldogs! That maybe the difference between winning and losing?

AZ I'm waiting for your response!

These types of logos were shown at the focus groups. There were a few really good looking versions with a gargoyle wrapped around the shield.

on a topic that's related to hostile & abusive...

one of the nation's LEADING Lacrosse equipment manufacturers is taking heat...

first - because their name is Warrior...but also because a certain slogan they have been using included the phrase...
"ninja" ..which activists are claiming is just a disguised form of the word ni**er" - (a slur against Blacks) - ...

so has anyone else ever heard of that???
.."ninja" is an intentional effort to insult Blacks ?? Seems to me people try way too hard to find something offensive!

I'm familiar with Warrior, as they're also manufacturers of hockey equipment. As for the Ninja thing, I've never heard anything like that.
