What I really want is car flags.
What I really want is a new logo that might actually be marketable. BU is doing so many things right nowadays in the marketing department, I would hope that a makeover of the logo isn't far behind.

BB,
For a long time I was with you in my desire for a new logo. But as time as passed I our logo has grown on me and I am not sure how much you could do without any type of mascot.
Look at some of the logos used by other universities (even those more widely recognizable than BU) and they are either using some form of a mascot or simply a play on their initials as we use ours.
I think the key is more in the merchandizing that the logo. Put it on good stuff that people will wear (not just at the games). Everything changes when outfits like NIKE get involved. Lets use Illinois or even Oregon. Did Nike change their logo drastically? No, they used a block "I" alot or even "ILLINOIS," but the type of clothing and merchandise they put it on made the difference.
I don't want to pretend that NIKE would get involved with us the way they would with the primary university in a state, but someone else might.
Just some thoughts.
Will Captain Brave be appearing at any games in the near future?
I agree to an extent, I just think that a re-work of the BU and the scripted 'Braves' is in order. Without changing it too much, I think the logo can be made over to look more intimidating/appealing/etc. I want people to think of Bradley when they hear 'BU', not Baylor or Boston U. If they know we're the Braves, fine. But I want them to know the name BRADLEY.
I like the block letter look as well... Also like the english letter style ala the Detroit Tigers "D" if you want a really different look.I agree.
I bought a scarf at the bookstore that had a block letter "B" on it. I bought the thing for my little sister, so the authenticity of the logo probably escaped her.
However, the more I looked at the scarf the more the simple B grew on me. NUMEROUS schools have done well with simple block letters, and I think a new age B block letter would look classy, yet simple and not over done.
that being said I hate to lose the Braves as god knows we aren't allowed to put it on much anymore.
Campus Town shop in Northwoods mall has Bradley outdoor flags, for $39.99 and $42.99.
I am not sure about the shop at the Shoppes at Grand Prairie.
Only Captain Brave can make that decision. Rumors are swirling about his whereabouts. Some have said he's at the MVC office in St. Louis campaigning for a league TV contract on par with the Big East and ACC. Others have spotted him at the NCAA office in Indianapolis demanding a postseason ban for Indiana, and a one-on-one meeting with each member of this year's selection committee. All could be true, all could be false. My guess is that he's at his fortress of solitude breaking down the schedule and all scenarios involving the RPI, Pomeroy projections, and the chances of an at-large bid. When he decides to return is anyone's guess.

How about Bradley's new mascots could be Captain Brave and Chief Justice.
Captain Brave could have an obvious Superhero type outfit complete with a cape and a giant shield with BU on the front. Chief Justicewould have a long flowing judge's gown, but it would be red and white, and he could have a giant inflatable gavel. These two would roam the sidelines ready to save the day or pass judgement on questionable referees. Plus, we would still have a chief,(so to speak), thus still have a Chief's club.
Talk about redefining BRAVE.
Hey, it's still better than a Gargoyle or a Clock.
