I like the new. I wish they would wear a football jersey. I liked that. The old costumes look a little run down. Which did Corso put on his head on Gameday vs. NIU? I think it was the new one.

They do wear football jerseys.

Don't know if this has been mentioned before but.... You would think that Home depot's marketing deparment would be smart enough to make sure that "Home depot" read correctly across the gloves. Then again that might have been written by one of our cheerleaders

Maybe it was in fact a genius move by Home Depot's marketing department.

Surely they have cornered the market with any Yoda's that are out there.

Depot, Home. Yes Master Luke

Oh! I definitely think we need to go back to these falcons!

They are historic and are a link to our heritage! They are so different from any other college team's mascots out there! They have that "old school" feel and consequently aren't "trendy" or "modern!" Those are the kind of mascots that set BG apart from those other sell-out programs like Ohio State!

Back to the logos. I was at Anderson arena about four years ago for the Marching Band Sounds of the Stadium concert. A lady was looking at the logos on the back of the back of the band uniforms and asked her daughter "Why does everyone have the initials LT on their backs?"
In spite of that - I still voted for the old logo. Too damn many look-a-like bird logos out there.

I am sure there are people here that think the new Union is a blight on the campus and that the Old Union was fantastic and that tearing down Prout Hall was a travesty!

That's a little extreme. Maybe change nothing prior to the Carter administration, but definitely not as far back as Kennedy.

Given that I went to a lot of trouble to get a "Falcon's Nest" sign from the Old Union (thanks NWLB), plus the mosaic Morse Code messages -- the Old Union was a pretty special place to me.

The new union is pretty cool, though.

I think Freddy and Frieda look fine now. The outfits are newer, and there is nothing I miss from the old ones.

My gripe with the new crows, er I mean Falcons, is that they look way to cartoonish. The old costumes looked mean. I want the mascot to look like it was suited up and ready to go out and tear our opponents head off just like the team it is there to support. These look like they would get out on the 50 and try to get both teams to sing a song and make the worlds troubles to away. I don't watch "Barney" so why would I want our mascots to be the same thing?????

No offense, but I don't think that is the point of a mascot costume. They are for the kids. Name me one college mascot that looks "like it was suited up and ready to go out and tear our opponents head off." Do any of these strike fear in the hearts of men???

As much as I disliked the change at first, I am with Capitol on this one.

The costumes are meant not to battle for victory but to spread good will to the fans, students and community.

Looking back at the old freddie and frieda's that I loved and still enjoy seeing when they break them out, I can't help but think, man those look pretty cheap.

The guy with the one nut for a head kind of scares me. Brutus looks a little perverted!
