In and from all of the bedlam coming from a new name,

Why not change our name from the Bradley Braves to the Bradley Rabbits? Say it a few times over and over again slowly to see how it feels without jumping to any kinds of conclusions. With it comes no stigma or stigmata. Rabbits are clever, intelligent and lightning fast. Without limit would there be opportunity for happied creations of what the Bradley Rabbit would look like and, perhaps, how humbly proud he could be as our moniker. As far back as some will be quick to iterate the gargoyle has been a part of the Bradley campus, the rabbit has been there longer! Think of the wonderful costumes possible for just such a team mascot!!!

the mascot or team nickname needs to have at least some relevance towards BU & their history or at least be dignified like "Braves" - rabbits have neither
 
Rabbits, like squirrels might be a nice cuddly nickname for a junior high school girls team. It'll never work for Bradley.

Here is an interesting compromise- There are colleges named Eagles (over 25 of them), Blue Eagles, Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, Purple Eagles, and Screaming Eagles.
How about the Bradley Brave Eagles. That combines the Brave with a true mascot that seems acceptable to a lot of people, since "Eagles" was one of the final choices.

Unless the mascot looked like this....

I'm picturing the Gargoyle mascot like this. Except red of course. And slightly more badass. And like 10 feet tall.

Time to move on to a new name/mascot.....

I propose....

The Bradley 'Spinsters'....

honoring Lydia Moss Bradley...

Now we just have to find someone who looks like her and has retained some athletic ability at an advanced age! :lol::lol::lol:
 
Thanks for all the laughs. After two last place MVC seasons, the turmoil of the firing of Les and the hiring of Geno, and the dim prospects for a winning season this year, I needed some laughter.
 
New Name & Mascote??????

New Name & Mascote??????

What ever happened to a school tradition and name? BRAVES are what we are!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it is totally stupid to let a political correct, sociallist ideoligy dictate an individuals beliefs or a schools tradition for the sake of the many. Our country is going through this same problem as I type. I do agree there are and have been offensive things to correct but a proud name such as BRAVES-- come on! Native Americans were called alot of things but in their culture the name BRAVES was a proud one. We should not lose site of our heritage.
 
Sorry AZ, but I am proposing the Bradley Fighting Lydia's!

The mascot would be someone dressed up as Lydia Moss Bradley sitting on a rocking chair near the student section preparing her latest quilt.

Possible cheers could be Lydia standing up and yelling:

GET OFF MY COURT!
