I didn't realize how much I liked the old Pete until I saw the new one.

thank god hes gone.

The new Pete costume ranks right up there with the "new Coke" fiasco of years back. Why mess with a good thing. As an alum, happy to have our old Pete back!

THANK GOD the old Purdue Pete is back!!!!

As a Purdue alum, I must say I don't agree with the new Purdue Pete. The old Pete was just as bad though. He looks like the elephant man.
Take a step back and look at our current costume. It's an enormous, freakishly scary head made of some hard plastic material. We lose either way.

As a two-time Purdue alum (BS, BA 2001), I think it's fun to see the marketing department toil in vane to justify their existence. From across the field I'm sure there is little difference, but upon closer inspection we learn that Pete has been replaced with a plush impostor.
I heard Real Pete is buried between the Howitzer and the university's nuts which, coincidentally, were the only parts of the university that Beering, Jischke, and Cordova weren't able to sell to the highest bidder.

Bring back Rowdy.

I actually applaud this university, as a Krannert School of Management alumnus, I have noted two major moves that have pissed off the vast majority of the Purdue family. 1. The Makers, all campaign that was almost universally hated and 2. the changing of Purdue Pete to this embarrassment. Congratulations Purdue, you are ensuring that I never give money to you! Keep up the good work and maybe all the good students will go to IU and our university will suck!

the thing looks like a freaking muppet. This is terrible.. Do not choose this option! Keep the more natural look.
Wow. Congratulations! The Purdue Pete mascot now looks as lame as all the other collegiate mascots. As a Purdue alum, this new incarnation is an embarrassment.
