Seems like the OG tweet was deleted because that’s definitely a new logo lol

The original has a "dad bod", but both of them have a look that says "you don't want to mess with me". 

Dad Bod Scrappy looks like he's tired of hearing about SMU.

Maybe it could be better, but it is absolutely the best we've ever had. 

No, this was the best Eagle mascot we ever had.  He could really dance too! 

I remember when we went to play UH at the Astrodome in 1980 and our Eagle went over to visit the UH "real cougar" Shasta before the game on the sidelines.  Wow, did that cougar want our bird!  You've seen how cats get that look of attack-mode before they pounce.  It was all they could do to hold him back on the leash, lol.

A former spirit group, the talons, tried to change the name to Eppy because Scrappy sounded too aggressive.

Sir, I do believe that is the Oldest Old Denton story I've ever read.

I believe that was the only time that we didn't use either a common mascot costume or a homemade costume. That costume was designed and made to matcch our logos by a company that made costumes for Disney.

Our current Scrappy is a generic costume https://www.joymascot.com/green-university-eagle-mascot-costume-8250

What really pisses me off about the current Scrappy costume is how the Athletic Department and University redesigned all the Scrappy logos to match it. Hell, there's even a statue on campus. 

I don't understand why we leaned so hard into a generic costume of mediocre quality.

How about a kinder, gentler Scrappy?  :)

They've been selling some cool stuff with this logo

Also - the Homefield stuff has it on several items too

So, we turned Scrappy/Eppy in to a strutting, bad-ass Eagle?

When my daughter was little, she loved to see that Scrappy.  She wanted to go to games just to see Scrappy.  She had a little stuffed Scrappy--it looked just like the one above--that she carried to games with her.

Then the new Scrappy came, and it freaked her out.

For some reason I did not know this but this is horrible. I dislike the current costume. The fact it's some generic BS you can buy for a few hundred bucks makes it even worst.

Same thing with my youngest son.  He's now almost 18 so Levy doesn't freak him out, but he always says the old one was better.

The fact that it only costs $420 almost makes me wish I had bought a couple of them to wear to games

Plus, that is the most un-Eppy looking Eagle I've ever seen.  THIS is what the hippy-dippy committee that changed the mascot name had in mind. THIS is Eppy.

 

Eppy was... "effy"

He looks like a 19th century Italian baker who is eager to know what you’d like to order because you’re the first person to come into his bakery in days.

I’m calling it now. We'll wear the scrappy helmet when we face these guys.

It would be great if a bunch of fans bought them and wore them to games. Would definitely catch the TV camera’s attention. Might also shame the AD into upgrading Scrappy.
