We need a new mascot costume!
I saw on my FB feed an article from KTBS on Texarkana College. They have the generic Bulldog mascot costume like ours!
How many colleges, high schools, etc have the same costume?
It's time for us to hire a designer and build a new costume mascot.

Yep. I know South Carolina State uses the same bulldog mascot costume. Probably countless high schools, too.

We can go just the opposite....a dog body and human head vs. a dog head and human body.

Well, maybe not.

So, probably for $2000 we could get a couple of renderings to look at. Then probably $5-$6000 for an original costume. Drop in the bucket and should have been done long ago.

Careful what you ask for.
I say leave it alone for fear we end up with the dreaded puppy dog head.

So, get ahead of them and require certain criteria.

If fans spoke loudly enough, we could at least steer the project somewhat.

It would be an easy crowd-funding project like the TAC signage. Get like 3 designs done by a professional company. Have our alumni/fanbase vote on the best design. Then we post it to our crowdfunding page. There you go.
I found the Olympus Group who does NCAA and professional mascots. It's a US based company.

We need one with this face as posted by one of our own on BB&B.
It had a american flag bandana and a bad arse growl face.

I happen to have some expertise in this area. The current Champ costume has been our mascot for roughly 25 years.
The previous Champ costume (ca. 1990) had a more cartoonish face. It was silly, but at least unique.
