I guess they could just be a Cardinal/Redbird, Bulldog, Tiger, etc. like every other school without an imagination.

It's not even an original name.

It's named Kaboom for Bradley radio man Dave Snell, who says Kaboom after a BU dunk

I like the mascot. Obviously geared more for youngsters. Not a fan of the name. But on the other hand I really don't care that much what it is named.

Pretty much anyone other than bradley fans think the "kaboom" shouts during games are annoying. So its not really a surprise they named their mascot kaboom.

I like the design, but the name is an inside joke. I'm pretty happy with it.

I think it's pretty awesome they named it Kaboom. Nice shout out to Dave Snell who's been doing Bradley play-by-play since '79.

I like him. He's different, and I love different mascots.

But then I love the UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs, too.

There's nothing more boring than yet another Cardinals/Redbirds, Tigers, Bulldogs, etc. team. Hats off to Bradley for being original, and for making the mascot look less than ridiculous.

I must say: the artists made this Gargoyle look friendly instead of demonic.

Like, you know, Gargoyles.
