The mascot debate would do more harm than good.  It is as if they are removing everything we have known as a university.  And I am one who thinks "woke" culture often times is too overblown.  But just look at the ND programming recently - they have commercials where they are "Fighting for Justice" and "Fighting for (fill in the blank)".  Valpo could do the same thing "We are Valpo and we are crusaders for peace."  I can understand why they got rid of the former cartoon mascot.  But the current mascot is so godawful and frankly the shield was a positive logo update.  I could be ok transitioning away from the actual mascot, but keep the name and logo. 

Can some of the locals let me know if any local stores or big box stores like target or wal mart sell valpo gear?  I'd love to make the drive over to pick up some kids clothes tfor my 4, 4, and 2 year old to wear but am not keen on kids clothes from the bookstore which is so expensive for how fast they grow out of it.  Thanks for letting me know.
