New Jonathan costume

[zls44]

Love Pres. Herbst, love the new logo...hate the costume. It's just a costume, though.

Booooo

When they switched logos they said they would stay with the old mascot because kids liked him so much. Sorry they didn't stick to that.
Like the challenge and think our President is looking good,

By the time I get used to this version of the mascot, it'll be time to change it again...

Reminds me of the end of the Red Wedding episode. If that's what they went, adding the grey highlights to the old Jonathan style head would have been better. Will need to get used to it, but the photos make the head look out of proportion against what looks like the old bodysuit.

That costume is a war crime.

I like it. Looks like the new logo which is fine with me.

in my only appearance at gampel i was at 1 point during the game near a concession stand at about the midpoint of the bowl when the husky mascot apparently was feeling lonely & came up to me and gave me a big husky hug

i said to her "go easy there as my wife looked on"

the costumed husky was most assuredly a "she" as she kept pushing very sizeable melons into me-i probably should have said thanx but for the 1st time i was somewhat tongue tied

This post is everything.

I think more of a Counselor Troi vibe. It would explain the strange devotion from certain corners of the BY.

Probably smells a lot better than the other one.

Agreed. Austin was close to 70 when he left, I'm sure she smells a lot better than him.

I would bet other university administrator sdoing the challenge is likewise using it to promote their school's research profile. I don't have a problem with the original intent of the challenge, I think it fulfilled it's job to raise awareness. Now that part has reached saturation somewhat, but I hope it can somehow translate to sustained support for neuroscience research. (Which is obviously a huge undertaking that will take years /decades)

They're still raking in cash apparently. Still doing it's job.

Ohhhh, you'd all love to see some of the various pics I have of the 1996-1998 version of the Jonathan costume. He he he.

 

[Fishy]

I guess we'll just wait until you post them.

The old suit always looked like it needed a good dry cleaning.

 

[amory]

lol what can I say? it's bad looking.

they could've at least kept the mouth closed, the way they have it now all I can think of when I look at it is "DURRRRRR"

 

[Hoophound]

I think the costume is fine. Wish it was white to preserve tradition, but whatever. Much more worried about the A on our uniforms than the suit on on our mascot.

 

[EricLA]

As a few others have said, it looks somewhat like the new logo. I'm not sure what anyone else expected - no mascots look identical to their logos, and some have zero to do with them (the Stanford tree)...

 

[sledog]

Where did they get this costume? From one of those deviants in Times Square??

 

[donyell34]

Herbst. She is so damm hot.

How is chaps coherent response not garnering more attention? Easily the biggest news since the JA commitment.

 

[IMind]

WTF!?!?! everything makes sense!!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE REAL CHAP!?!?!?!?

It was slightly disturbing though... Does that help?

 

[Adios]

Since the logo supposedly looks "scary", they had to make the costume look "friendly".

Whatever this mascot is smoking, pass me some!

Prez Herbst. Would you hit that? And if so, how many beers would it take?

 

[David 76]

None.
