Disney thought the mascot was too close to Donald Duck, and sued them over it -- the team agreed not to sell any merchandise with the mascot outside of the state of Oregon. So they were probably looking to get rid of that problem.Teganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061668467441843499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-14879175057386117152015-01-20T23:38:18.895-05:002015-01-20T23:38:18.895-05:00The new one looks like an evil alien or something ...The new one looks like an evil alien or something out of a bad sci-fi movie. markmorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244170366992576734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-63328451199421844392015-01-20T08:09:31.304-05:002015-01-20T08:09:31.304-05:00Roboduck was squashed by a Buckeye!Roboduck was squashed by a Buckeye!Robert J.

To me those guys aren't the good guys any more. They are the evil doppelganger of their former selves. They pretty much reflect the thinking of society as a whole.

They aren't just for kid appeal, remember the Disney-designed nose art in WWII?
