Let me know when the Warriors mascot is available. Though, AH never looked so good.

Let the nickname bashing begin!  :)

They should market Golden Eagle toilet paper. I would buy that.

I'm still holding out hope for a Dan Fitzgerald Fathead.  The picture could be of him passing the ball into the 3rd row.

All nickels can go to muwarrior87.  Personally, I would have went with the claws (feet) haha.

No, no, no. It would be of him committing a lazy foul under the basket to set up a three point play.

I wish I got a commission for that!  We could call it the "Help muwarrior87 get a job after school fund". They are using my likeness on wall clings without sharing the wealth...although if no GE apparel ever sold again I would not object. It's hard having a split personality when it comes the the mascot...I hate it, but I was it. Does that mean I hated myself?? hmm...GO WARRIORS!!

When is the Golden Eagle going to get a current jersey to wear?

The Golden Eagle wears a neutral sport jersey.

The Golden Eagle wears a neutral sport jersey.

Don'tcha think he could slip on a current BBall jersey for game days and BBall appearances?
Title: Re: For you Golden Eagle lovers..
Post by: PuertoRicanNightmare on August 05, 2009, 12:15:14 PM
That would be politically incorrect

Personally, I'd like to see him in a Warriors Forever t-shirt. I'll never forget, when the nickname debate was still open and going on, when I taped a "Let's Go Warriors" sign to the back of the bird. Guy in there didn't notice, and ran around with it for about 5 minutes!

Anyways, realistically, why not buy several jerseys for him to wear? B-Ball for those games, Soccer for the soccer games, etc...

Only if you want the eagle in spandex for the volleyball games. 

But yes the eagle does need a new jersey.

The jerseys are quite pricey when bought from the mascot distributor. around 1k for each. Unbelievably expensive. We tried getting them to buy an XL jersey from the spirit shop for it but that got shot down for some reason.

I'm having trouble recalling correctly, but I remember it being a pain getting that jersey on after the suit was washed once a year.

There was a certain Eagle that sweated Jimmy John's VITO.

Wait, if I read that post correctly, the jersey that the golden eagle wears now was 1,000 dollars?  If so, that is the biggest rip off i have ever seen.

I don't understand why he cant just slip on one from the spirit shop, I own a Jerel one from last year (or should I say J-May one from this year) and it is plenty big in my opinion to slip on over the mascot.

I understand the neutral sport idea, but honestly for Men's BBall games he should have our current one.  Especially for Big East Tourney and NCAA Tourney.

The $1000 jersey was also coming from a former Bucky the Badger.  You may remember him as the one who got owned by the MSU cheerleader!

I always thought a gold 81 jersey would be good for the eagle.

Post by: MUfan12 on August 05, 2009, 11:57:14 PM
I know it'll never happen... but how sweet would it be if they had a throwback bball uni for the mascot.

The Eagle in a bumblebee jersey could make it remotely tolerable.

2002,

With all your Crean love and Warrior hate, are you perhaps the person behind the "Gold" fiasco?

You caught me.

I've been outed.

I'm ashamed.

I shouldn't even be allowed at MU games because I don't hate the GE name with a burning passion that causes me to trot out the same tired arguments over and over again.

I can't believe they even let me in the Bradley Center. The horror.


(for the record, I don't care for the GE name, but I'm also not the guy wearing an Indian headdress to the games. If I had to pick a name, I'd say I'm "pro-hilltopper" because that was the original name.)

If more people who now claim to be "pro-Hilltopper" had voted "Hilltopper" when given the chance then former "Warriors" and "pro-Warriors" would never have voiced disagreement over the shameful "Golden" anything.

(Note: It is somewhat empowering to use words like "shameful", "burning passion" and "tired arguments" when referring to others views.  But hey Babe, that's why they call it a blog...) ;)
