This mascot is unreal bad.
Seriously. Back to the drawing board. Bring back the captain.

WTF is this?

I don't know what T shirt rendition @HuffyCane saw, but it must have put the mascot costume to shame.
Pretty sure he tells little kids that he has a cute puppy and candy back in his panel van.
I’ll wait to see the artwork, but what I was shown looked nothing like that.
I want to see the artwork. If you can put it on here that would be great. I don't give a crap what the mascot looks like. All I care bout is what 'he' looks like on a tshirt.
Should have named him Herbert the pervert
That or a pissed off cinnamon rollMy 9 year old just said it looks like a white poop in a football uniform
I know it's hard to take your eyes off Herbert but I feel we also need to at least mention that his name is apparently Gus T. Get it? Nothing strikes fear in opponents like having to deal with a storm that is a little gusty.
OMG that's 100% it. Are we being sponsored by Cinnabon? Or Pillsbury?
All it's missing is the icing. Tho covering his head in a gooey white sauce seems like it might make the problem even worse.
It would cover up that pervert smile. Is that him on the left?All it's missing is the icing. Tho covering his head in a gooey white sauce seems like it might make the problem even worse.
Oh that’s a money shot fo sho.All it's missing is the icing. Tho covering his head in a gooey white sauce seems like it might make the problem even worse.
what the hell is that....please tell me this is a joke....did we pay real money for that!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
tbf, it wouldn’t be the first time reality didn’t match even the vague picture you painted with your “insider scoops”
My money is on the illustrations used for marketing and merchandising will bear semblance to the physical mascot, but be much more desirable, and likely very appealing. This is not a huge stretch from the Eskimo Joes depiction many of us are so fond of.
Trying to make a physical representation of a hurricane has got to be one of the most challenging projects you could give a designer. We tried the dog and it didn’t seem to stick like Revelry has for A&M, so we’re back to this and have the expectation that the graphic design people will get the merchandise correct.
The cinnamon roll looks like it is about to go out and commit several very serious crimes
Had a coupon for a free t-shirt with Gusty, took a look & gave it back. The reality was even worse.
I have a feeling you may regret that. I have a feeling he might look good in the abstract on a tshirt.
LOL, his role is to disseminate the messaging provided by his handlers. And their goals for messaging often do not include "accurately portray facts and the state of the universe as it actually exists."
We haven't seen too many of these unforced errors in Brad's tenure. My guess is Pervy Herby's 15 minutes of fame will be brief. That shirt will be a collectors' item soon.
Maybe we can get Tally's or Savoy to sponsor him then
Savoy would be great. Have a cinnamon roll giveaway at a game.
As Haisten said in today’s article about the game,
As our long national nightmare ended when the Captain Cane character was retired by the university, there was the long-awaited introduction of TU’s new mascot. Its name is Gus T. It has human arms and legs, a head that looks like a cinnamon roll and a facial expression that says, “I’ve had way too much caffeine.”
We could definitely use a signature concession. BYU has cougartails which are basically maple flavored honey buns. They bake two miles worth for each home game. People go to the game just to get some cougartails. I won’t speculate on whether barrister has attended a game for the same reason.
I’m probably more likely to buy a shirt if the mascot on it looks absolutely ridiculous. But I’ve always been a bit off.
Like it or not , we have not lost a game with the psychotic cinnamon roll at the helm
Need an image clothiers want in their shop that moves inventory. Need an image corporate sponsors want associated with their own company. Boise, Miami, RGV, the list goes on. They built multiple potential logos and paid for people to focus group them with the stakeholders the program would depend upon to generate revenue from it. We did the opposite where basically nobody saw it before hand.
Getting a mascot that excites everyone isn’t hard, even for a Hurricane, but it’s not cheap.
