Need to lose the yellow schnozz.
It's hideous! Someone hire a falconer to provide real mascot already!
I can't decide if that is Homer's lost toupee, or the Anthony Davis unibrow?
This is gonna sound a little weird but...
Lose the pants.
AND, wear a classic blue v nreck lettersweater. That would make it seem more old school.

That would just turn him into a bird version of Bucky. No thank you.
Just change the name to the Hilltoppers.
As much as we should be the Warriors, we never will be. But there are much better, more unique options than "Golden Eagles."
I think it's fine. I've seen worse.
I liked Golden Avalanche .......Hilltoppers would be ok too
Alas I think we are stuck with Golden Eagles
If this thread isn't about the Golden Chicken on 25th and Wisconsin, I don't know what you are talking about.
Wierd, I've always called it the golden pigeon.

Yes—the falconer. New arena, new tradition.

Yep. Golden Eagles is so lame.
I'm good with the name. Golden Eagles are one of the most badarse animals on the planet....which is why Chapman is so right. Ditch the cartoon and get a live mascot. Play up the badarsery
Looks like the Purdue Boilermaker ran some piping into the eagle from the Muppet Show.

I actually really like this idea a lot!
Back in my day I suggested the Eagle should wear a basketball jersey but someone (Pintens maybe?) said that it wouldn't make sense to have an Eagle in a basketball jersey at a volleyball game or a soccer game. Thus the sport neutral jersey it previously had. I'm curious to see if it gets a specific jersey for each sport.

Is it going to have the tiny shorts for Volleyball?

There is more than one location...and they are fantastic! I think they used to be more widespread in the Milwaukee area about 30 years ago.

Have a badger in the upper deck that the eagle can grab and throw down to the floor to kill, just like a mountain goat.

Indeed, I tried to google an image of the store and found it .. kinda looks like it is/was a chain, maybe even outside of WI.
My retirement plan is to open a White Castle, but if I can't get a license for that, hello Golden Chicken.

Yeah, but if the golden eagle does this to a toddler instead, people might complain.
This is why we can't have nice things.

Is the kid wearing a Bucky shirt? I'd probably be ok with that.

Running a restaurant is kind of the exact opposite of retirement

Sure, if you were a teacher or librarian. If you were an investment banker or pit trader, different story.
Retirement is relative. I'm sure to most Millenials, "retirement" is eating avocados and drinking Modelo on the beach every day once you turn 45. For others, it might be not having to risk getting caught in gang crossfire walking to the bus stop anymore.

You can own a restaurant and not actually run it. You just have to hire a great manager that you trust.
That way all you do is look at the financials once a month, and drop in once in awhile with your friends to give them free drinks.

I hear the Coke at White Castle is fantastic.
But the lemonade at Golden Chicken is impossible to beat.
Honestly who cares. Mascots are dumb. A logo graphic of nickname is fine but actual costumed mascots add zero value to the game day experience.

Next time you see someone being accosted by a mascot, that's Coleman.
God knows I hate the ridiculous nickname, but saying mascots add nothing to the game day experience is moronic.
My kids love the Golden Eagle and, as a result, have been horse whipped on several occasions

A lot of stupid stuff said on here, but this is near the top. Either you do not have a 2-5 year old who has the attention span of about 3 possessions, or you are so old you forgot what it was like having kids that young. Either way telling them to sit down and watch a full game is as hard as having an online message board that is completely rational all the time.

I wrote this tongue in cheek. I know how kids work. Partially why I don't have one yet.

This reminds me of a "cartoon" that Georgetown played on the jumbotron at halftime of a GU v. MU game back in '06 or '07 - it started with a golden eagle flying majestically through the sky, but ended with a cartoon Jack the Bulldog popping out of the bottom of the screen, shotgun in hand, to blast the eagle out of the sky, Duck Hunt-style.
Pretty sure that wouldn't make it on the jumbotron today, and honestly couldn't believe they allowed it at all.
