He doesn't really need to. Plenty of mascots don't match the athletics logo.
BrUNO's fine, there was never really anything wrong with BrUNO, it's just that Lafitte was the best and never should have been supplanted. BrUNO was a force and was a fix for something that wasn't broken.
The current Privateer head logo, on the other hand, was a GREAT change and hopefully will continue be our permanent logo long into the future. We went through many years in the logo wilderness without settling on one (the Amy Champion-era Privateer head was a straight ripoff). This one is distinctive and unique, whether in blue or purple/gold, and it has staying power. Our only other truly good logo was Running Privateer, and while I love Running Privateer, he is the 80s-est thing that ever 80s-ed.
