Isn't normally pretty standard to update the mascot at the same time you roll out a new logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. I wasn't really talking about the timeline but does it surprise you that SLU wasn't ready with a new mascot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'm sure it will scare the s--- out of my kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing makes little sense. I had heard that SLU had the new mascot head and suit last season. For some reason though, they decided to roll it out at a soccer game on a Tuesday night in September.

Seeing the Billiken make children cry is one of my favorite aspects of the SLU gameday experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big logo reveal was 5:30 on a Friday night with a few hours' notice, and the alternate uni reveal was in a throwaway game in the middle of the season.

TheA_Bomb Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Is this the right forum to point out that this is happening during the mandatory NCAA no mascot period? Come on compliance office you had one job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Of course all of this assumes the roll out of the new Billiken was a carefully planned event. It just may not have been so, just a matter of expediency, Like: "we need the new Billiken out yesterday, how about doing it tonight?" That is the night before they did it. With the extra added "no mascot period" we add to the complexity and lack of thinking involved in this decision. Anyone thinks this was carefully planned?

During this period the mascot can text, but only using old school shorthand. In addition they are allowed to communicate using smoke signals or morse code. They also can only be seen in disguise or wearing camo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the extra added "no mascot period" we add to the complexity and lack of thinking involved in this decision. Anyone thinks this was carefully planned? The gray was way too dark. It was used in the logo for depth. You don't need to show depth on the 3D head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
