I was just glancing over the website and noticed how lacking our design is without a mascot. Does the school have any plan for this?

Does anyone know the name of the company that was contracted to create the Crusader costume? We need a little extra boost in Annapolis and Syracuse next year.

View AttachmentLooking for a side gig - You can be Shieldy - the friendly unarmed mascot of the Holy Cross Crusaders. This is funny. I think we should go with Shieldy!! Funny, suggestive, ironic, and perfectly passive aggressive. Let’s start a petition. I’ll sign first. Hahahaha! Shieldy. Love it.

If Syracuse can have an orange, we could dress someone as a big grape. How about an eggplant.

All he does is sit there at games non-judgementally. Does not cheer. Has pillows for hands and feet that are sewn down. Shuffles in and out of games and just stares blankly with an expressionless face. Only gets up in silent protest for hard fouls or any other on-court transgressions by either team. Does not interact with kids. Then walks off and disappears at the end of games. This seems about right.

The shield is really a large clipboard holding maps showing all the safe spaces on campus in case anyone feels triggered or threatened or traumatized

I object to your derogatory use of "dinosaurs." After all, in their current form, they power all of today's gas powered cars.

This thread is headed towards thread of the year candidate, but I vote that inhocsigno be the front-runner for Post of the Year 2019.

Live look at Father B trying on the new mascot that he and the BoT have designed with the help of select faculty and the editorial team from the SPIRE:

Well, to answer 43's original post: Short answer: no.
Longer answer: Nothing that we post here will have any bearing or effect. Unless and until the current students cause a ruckus, you know, like sitting outside Fr. B's office and getting bad publicity demanding a revised mascot, nothing will happen. And that is not going to happen from among a student body that doesn't care enough - football team, band, cheerleaders and dance ensemble excluded - to attend games.
For discussion purposes: What would RSIG/Holy Cross do if this fall someone tried to enter Fitton Field for a football game dressed up as a Crusader? Ideally in the Iggy costume (which I assume has been burned).

Thankfully we can all have a sense of humor about it all. If you don't laugh, you'll cry.

The Shieldy post was the first post in my participation in Crossports where I actually laughed out loud, and before my morning coffee to boot. I would love to see an actual artist rendition of Shieldy. Agree individual post and thread of the year candidates.

Pirates rape and plunder. Warriors, well, war with other people. Titans clash with gods (how blasphemous), and Devils (both Sun and Blue varieties) tempt Jesus Himself. Eagles eat rabbits. Ban all mascots. Every contest should just be the, "Us" versus "Them."

I’m offended by “us”. It’s not inclusive.

Surprised ND “Fighting Irish” leprechaun doesn’t get more grief in today’s environment. I think in due time the social justice warriors (meaning the unreasonable fanatics, not those of us who fight for justice in a reasonable way) will set their sights on the Leprechaun, perhaps the biggest prize in college sports. We'll see if ND can stand against the tide of virtue signaling moral outrage.

The Leprechaun will be fine. We Irish are secure enough to have a sense of humor about stereotypes. Plus we're not on the SJW protected list.
