I think it should just be blank instead of the cross, it no longer reflects the mac community.

The colors are ugly, I agree, but it isnt an issue for me.
The cross is in the emblem because of McMaster's roots as a Baptist university, although it no longer reflects in the current university. I think its going to far to say we have to remove it because its not inclusive. There are many things that the university should care about before a cross being part of the university's emblem. The same thing has happened with countless other symbols, places, names.

I think the colours are nice and sure beat some other universities. (WLU with their purple and gold, U of C with Red and Yellow)

That should be our new coat of arms. Just replace the text on the ribbon with "McMaster".

Or just rename the school to Gryffindor.
