SilverBullet1929 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 How'd we get to four pages without mentioning the Colorado Rockies have a triceratops as a mascot?There's a reason for it, and it'd be pretty hard to have an actual mountain as a mascot but yea this one definitely fits the thread.

Hence they have a purple dinosaur not named Barney that spins his head around and exists only to distract fans from the disarray of the franchise.

I can't imagine what a fan of that team goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the Rat should be the Main Mascot, because the Panther's name is Stanley C. Panther, or Stanley Cup Panther... which the team has not won before... And unless it changes in the next couple of years, it's a ridiculous name... What? What?! They do... what?!?! I mean... I guess octopus doesn't make too much more sense, but... seriously? That's a thing? On 1/16/2016 at 4:24 PM, SJAnfield said: That may be the coolest mascot I've ever seen I'm sorry... I thought I had something crazy in my ear. If the Yankees ever have a mascot, it should be a squirrel named Scooter. Back on topic, when I heard someone say "Fat Elmo", I was thinking of the Xavier Musketeers' mascot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they can run up and down near-vertical cliffs, as if they have something sticky on their feet, they are dubbed Tar Heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommytimp Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Mascots are supposed to basically appeal to kids, so if you're the Cubs, then Clark the Cub, who is a big bear, makes some sense.If your team is something more esoteric like the Jazz or the Lightning, you're not going to be literal. Should Utah have a beatnik with a beret and a soul patch? Or even a Dixieland gent with a moustachio and a top hat?
