A Mascot for William & Mary

When you unveil drawings of five mascot finalists after months of waiting, it’s difficult to get people to read the text that surrounds the images you present. One item of importance is that the sketches of the five finalists represent concepts for five mascot possibilities.

I’ve been carefully reading all of the comments, ideas and suggestions popping up on our blog and Facebook pages. We want to know what you think about the ideas; but feedback about whether or not you like the sketches is not as useful to the committee. We hope you’ll keep in mind that:

• we want your impressions about the concept that each sketch offers
• the final mascot will evolve from the initial sketch you are seeing now

Here are three drawings that show the typical evolution of a mascot from an initial sketch to a final costume.

Thousands of you are showing your Tribe pride by completing our survey and posting comments in online communities. Thanks, we appreciate your feedback.
