Retromaniac Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I think Olympics are not the same without mascots, no matter how well drawn they are. Izzy was one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle_wiggily Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Mascots are supposed to be silly, if they get your attention, good or bad, then they have worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee. Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Considering the games are in Greece, maybe this would have been a more appropriate idea for a mascot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfannova Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Mascots are just a stupid symbol of the commercialization of the Olympic games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Mascots are just a stupid symbol of the commercialization of the Olympic games. Sports? Commercialized? Please. Athletic competitions are no more commercialized than Christmas or English soccer uniforms.And for everything else, there's Mastercard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
