Honestly I don't mind the gargoyle caricature, in fact I think it would look the best.
But think about the actual mascot at games....there is no way that it could look good. I just really think it would look ridiculous.

3.) Who ARE all you folks that are suggesting a color change...if there is anyone who on here who deserves to be labeled less of a fan its the folks pushing for a color change.
RED - for courage, strength and might
vs.
Green - "because no one else in the MVC is green"
Okay, so along with the mascot cos of all the tough times BU basketball has been through, we make another tradition? Sing You'll Never Walk Alone at the beginning of the game or at some point during it? Could be cool and reminds everyone what it means to be a Brave and stick together no matter if we're undefeated or winless. Could be something tied to the gargoyle watching over BU alums and faculy as well. Thought it would be cool! :mrgreen:
We don't want to be like liverpool, scousers, blah blah blah

How about Sweet Caroline like they do at Fenway?

I think I was riding a dead horse. I am no longer interested in my idea for Bradley pride. I still have pride in Bradley, but pride in the current sports image concept has lost appeal.

I downloaded the video showing the installation of the four new gargoyles on the Harden Clark Alumni Center and have viewed it several times. Knowingly or unwittingly the university makes the case for gargoyles (or images of gargoyles) to represent both the history and more importantly the future of the university. The multiple stone gargoyles will be there for decades to come. History that is usable trumps history that has been outdated or banned.
If you look carefully at my rendition of a BU image it includes a historic and future gargoyle, the iris of the eye has a clock in it, and the gargoyle also has a feather (it's just not a North American eagle feather). I think that covers all the bases.
I like the Gargolyle that is my avatar better then the scared looking one.![]()
