Hi All,
Creating this thread for those of us who want to talk about potential new mascot names so that the crusader retired thread can be more for discussions about that decision.
It would be nice if this could be a thread for those who want to honestly talk about the potentials for new mascots or the process vs rehashing our anger or excitement over the decision.
Let's kick it off with Paul's Column:https://www.nwitimes.com/sports/college/valparaiso-university/paul-oren-5-nicknames-valparaiso-should-consider/article_c95b389d-2f7a-5709-8e0c-4aefc61d9a9a.html
I'm okay with most of these although I feel like the Golden Knights is kinda of blah adn I'd be worried about a very litigious NHL team trying to overly police how we portray it.
Kernels is fun which I kind of like and is growing on me.
I'm also a fan of the DuneHawks but IUN is the Redhawks so it might be too similar.
The Shield seems to be both meaningful and already embedded.
