New Scrappy?

[UNTflyer]

I'm convinced some of you can never be happy...ever.

It's fine, my friend. That Scrappy costume was something like 15 years old and smelled of an old dishrag left in a moldy pantry where mushrooms are grown.

Change is inevitable.

So they've all pretty much sucked. Way to continue that tradition. 2004 and the last one are the best. This new one is off. Although I'm sure it's not, it looks a lot cheaper. And it doesn't resemble the sow or the renderings that were released. Maybe that's why it took so long to be released. It needs to be fixed.

Indeed sir.

[Itzcuāuhtli]

So, the new mascot is Eugene Levy?

I couldn't let this brilliance go unappreciated. That is hilarious.

It really does look so, so bad. I hope they clean it up a lot.

[Eastwood Eagle]

I lol'ed when I saw that. Then again, I'm not 5 and mascots don't really do anything for me.

Side note - Eppy in the 80s was seriously disturbing.

[H-towngreen]

It just looks cheap

[aztecskin]

My wife had a horrified look on her face upon seeing this thread. My friend lol'd. That is ridiculous. The one we had was fine. What was the rational for changing?

[Eastwood Eagle]

Maybe this is some flame where the real scrappy defeats this impostor during the halftime show.

Well folks. We officially have our Roboduck moment on our hands.

Could be worse.

He could be the Atlanta Falcons mascot

Or the Washington National's eagle Screech: Here's his reaction to the new Scrappy

Could be worse. It could be Orbit

And at least his name isn't Seymour d'Campus. I'm looking at YOU Southern Mississippi.

Seymour D'Campus at least has the look part down pat.

Dislike

[TheWestie]

Why are our mascots always getting screwed?

[Green Crazy]

I'm convinced some of you can never be happy...ever.

I was happy with the old one.

[Cerebus]

The good news is that if we lose tomorrow, the game won't be the worst thing that happened.

Preferred previous Scrappy, loved 2004 Scrappy.

[SAGreenFan]

For some perspective on all this...... a short history of North Texas mascots since the 70s

1970s...

1980s...

2004

2006

2005-2013

2013

That hawk was the best thing that ever happened to the Albino Squirrel movement.

[Green P1]

I don't care what he's let happen to our basketball program. I don't care what his thoughts on the SOW helmets may be.... IF RV IS GONNA LET THIS HAPPEN TO SCRAPPY HE SHOULD BE KICKED OUT ON HIS ASS FIRED RIGHT NOW.

[LongJim]

I dont hate it. Needs a jersey. Will need to see him up close, but from the picture he looks more worried than fearsome.

[Tyler Maryak]

Maybe they'll put a jersey and cap on him or something to cover the sagging skin and unkempt brow. Gotta agree though...the only inspiration I get from that bird is inspiration to run away.

[meangreener]

Hopefully he looks better with a jersey on.

[adman]

1970's Scrappy makes me think of all the old crusty curmudgeons on here and how they probably look as they drive down Hayden Fry lane, shaking their fists at the world.

1980's - too much cocaine.

[NewUNTFan8]

Sorry but I like it. Agree a jersey would be even better but the old Scrappy was ratty, nasty and smelly!!

[LongJim]

Yeah I took another look at the photo and it's not a bad change. Will be neat to see him today.

Why is it not in the official North Texas green? It looks like forest green to me.
