So the Mason Gazette yesterday wrote about the new mascot. He was unveiled at the first men’s home basketball game, November 17. The article talks about the panel process of finding a new mascot, has video of Gunston’s graduation to community ambassador (plus his new makeover), links to the ‘name the mascot’ contest and talks of the reasons leading to Gunston’s replacement (2006 NCAA appearance leading to the Final Four).
I can try to accept change, but I just don’t understand the facepaint on a man with a tri corner hat and a somewhat creepy expression!
The Athletics department wanted something distinctive, I guess they got it…
