Eggy Jay is the greatest mascot that probably won’t ever exist.

The Egg. Most people around the KU campus have seen or heard about it already, but what is exactly inside of it?

In all likelihood it’s just going to be a statue in there. But what if it wasn’t? What if, to celebrate one of the depictions of the previous Jayhawks, they made a whole new mascot?

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is where I would like to present to you:

A mascot that’s just an egg with feet sticking out could be the greatest idea for KU since the discovery of helium.

Eggy Jay could possibly be the cutest college mascot ever next to Baby Jay, who canonically hatched from an egg almost exactly 47 years ago.

(Yesterday, exactly. October 9)

That egg was much bigger than Eggy Jay, but I think it’s safe to assume that whatever laid Baby, also laid Eggy.

So far, the known Jays are: Baby Jay, Big Jay, and Super Jay, but there has to be more. Super Jay would not have laid the egg giving us the gift of Baby Jay; the egg was too big. So, the Jay that laid the egg has to have the ability to lay other eggs, right?

Yes.

If Eggy Jay comes in to fruition, I believe it could bring a whole new light in on the cycle of Jayhawks’ evolution. And sports games would be 1000x more fun that they currently are with Eggy Jay in them. Both teams playing would also love the new mascot.

The egg will more than likely be a statue of a Jay that has already existed, but if it did turn out to be Eggy Jay, I think everyone’s life would just be a little bit brighter.
