New video and new info. No more set up. lol

"Sparky will spend the next week in an intense environment, where the best-of-the-best collegiate mascots train to get into top-notch shape for their seasons. Be sure to be part of the expected record-setting crowd inside of Williams Stadium on Oct. 2 to see the Flames tangle with the Tigers of Savannah State and the unveiling the new buff and fit Sparky following his stay at Mascot Boot Camp."

Here's my guess. Same head legs and feet, they just got a different body. Something that doesn't look like a dress.

You think proto could do a video without putting that silver PT: thing in the video? Get outta here.

It was my privilege to serve you today. If you have any feedback, please direct it to my Assistant Director....

Not sure how I missed your reply, HMO.

My next question is in regard to what gear are they shooting with in the spot. It looks great. It is very similar to the 7D I am using these days.

Please leave Mr. Sparkles alone.

The kids love him as is.

So do parents.

I prefer not to have Mr. Sparkles on steroids.

Thank you.

This mascot actually looks similar to our sparky logo! I like this one a lot, and so did every student around me.

Howard the Duck would be more appropriate!

I loved Lang's take on it. A cross between the Oregon Duck and the TCU Horned Frog!!!

So it's obvious he was designed after the angry eagle rolling up his sleeves. Which is funny since they were at one time trying desperately to get rid of that logo. I thought it was trademarked clipart or something like that. I guess that means it's here to stay. I kinda like it. I always avoided apparel and merchandise with that guy on it because I try to stick to official stuff but I guess that means angry fighting eagle is here to stay forever.

Not bad, I'm not a huge fan of his head but it will grow on me. That's a weird sentence. Anyways, I thought they could have had a bigger entrance for him, but it is what it is.

now he just needs to march on the field in the form of that angry eagle mascot, stomping and pushing his sleeves up ready to do work. Thats my favorite logo, all of the LU stuff I have (well 80% of it) has that logo on it

I've always liked the old eagle logo. Where is the best place to pick up gear with him on it?
