According to the Scout: Student Senate passed a resolution asking President Glasser to for a mascot committee, responsible for slating ideas for a new mascot.

If there is anything that the team doesn't need right now, it's a pointless distraction like this. Cripes.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the team or coach. If it's a distraction, then it's because they're very, very easily distracted and unfocused. They have nothing to do with this.

It doesn't have to be a mascot, but I do think we need to do some rebranding with a logo.

It would have to be something really sharp and simple to convince me that our current logo should go after almost 20 years.

With no actual mascot -- which we should NOT create just to have one -- generating any logo different than the one we have will be tough.

As mentioned in the other thread, we should focus on winning and presenting ourselves to our alumni and others through the internet.

Winning and making the NCAA will make that logo look a lot better! Just ask Creighton who uses an orange basketball and the word JAYS as their logo. Nobody complaining about that.

No disagreement there. If our logo was synonymous with winning, no one would care!

We could do more with merchandising though. BU just really has nothing to offer in that regard. That's no a basketball or athletics thing, but more of a university/marketing thing.

Actually, its more of a signing a contract w/ a company AND then marketing through New Era and various companies that distribute hats and shirts to various sports stores...

The biggest thing...a good representation of various styles of hats...if you can market them well, a boom to the fan base occurs.


That being said, anyone got any ideas on a logo?


I really still feel like the BU block logo is fine

Agreed 100%. When you simply but our logo on really quality merchanise it looks great. The bookstore has made some nice strides there.

The problem is that the university and the bookstore (Barnes & Noble?) work against one another as they don't let the bookstore set anything up at the games or Chiefs Club events, etc. Then they don't do anything of quality themselves.
 
We could have THE CHIEF JUSTICE as our mascot. A judge with a big cartoonish Gavel, who rules the court. The judge is honorable, which is a trait of a brave, and we can still sneak in the word Chief and it not be associated with a Native American culture.

OR

How about The Commander In Chief, same kind of idea.


Seriously, I think our AD is right, we need to do something to get BU branded a little better. A mascot is just so hard to do with the nickname Brave, and I would not be for changing the nickname.
 
I wouldn't be too alarmed yet. This is only student senate. The Scout said it the letters havent' even been receive or reviewed yet by Galsky.
 
Didn't we just try this three years ago?

Ended in a bunch of awful choices and the fans voted to continue on with no mascot.
 
I like the chief justice mascot idea. Sounds fun.

One question in general, since you mentioned it, why against a name change in particular. I understand the tradition angle and I like the braves name... But, we can't use the name for much of anything anymore, so if a great idea came along, I'd personally at least explore the idea.

IDK fish, I just have always known Bradley as the Braves, personally I'd just hate to see it go. That's just me though. It just wouldn't seem the same anymore.

Because we always have and always should be known as the Bradley Braves...


That is why:!:

JMHO, I have yet to see Bradley merchandise that looks great with our current logo. I am picky though!
