It would be very good PR for the University. But how about a better mix of the Crusader clad in green who wields his broadsword against SUV's and inefficient lightbulbs? This is the type of thinking that could move ND forward, but that we dont see because the administration is so fearful of change.

The Crusader sounds too Catholic

It would smack of popery. The last thing we need is a mascot that might appeal to all of those Maryists ruining our great country.

I do like the idea of a character with a sword bashing an SUV. Why not replace the offensive Crusader with a member of the Ulster Irish?

Then I suppose "Cardinals" is out. *

Crusader also sounds a lot like

The College of the Holy Cross. The Crusaders. And let's not forget "Crusader Rabbit"
