The New Scrappy

I still like the old Scrappy from the 50's and 60's. He just looked so, well, "Scrappy". The new one looks good as well.

The old one was at the Idaho game.

Looks like they have changed the cartoon version of Scrappy for print, not the actual mascot costume.

This is good news and long over due. The current one's eyes are goofy as they are located to the front of the head, giving it a cross-eyed appearance.

Never understood why they changed the head from the previous to the current. Hopefully it's as they stated in the North Texan that its meaner and greener looking.

"Fans can now order apparel that more closely resembles UNT's current diving eagle design."

Am I reading/inferring this wrong, or are they altering the diving eagle logo too?

I think they are saying that the new Scrappy more closely resembles the diving eagle logo and they are going to have new apparel with the new Scrappy on it.

I hate how you can plainly see all the view holes in the beak. Makes it look worn out and outdated

My kids love the current Scrappy. Isn't that who Scrappy is really for anyway?

I still like the WWII looking scrappy

My kid saw the new Scrappy, and said, "Change is bad. We really should be more conservative."

My kid is a smartass.

I wonder where that could have come from.

Clearly her mother. My many years of finishing school have rendered me nothing if not the utmost specimen of politeness and respect.

The mascot costume is changing too. They should have it by the next home game. It will be more similar to SOW, eyes, talons, etc.

The only thing I would add to the new Scrappy is an NT-Star on his chest. OR a white version of this.......

may have something to say about using that logo on Scrappy.

Then someone could contact them and ask permission. They've said yes to other situations. Phone calls/e-mails don't cost much.

BTW, the North Texan article said that this new Scrappy (holding the flag) will be available in adult and kids sizes. Does anyone know if the kid sizes are out yet......and where?

I wore a shirt with the new scrappy on to the Ball St. game. It is pretty cool! The old school Scrappy is not bad but I would like an update. I recall the one from the bowl years being pretty awesome.

That new design is Killer. Now using it as my desktop wallpaper.

You're right. I should have read the article before posting.
