nash61 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 This picture needs some love.While visiting relatives recently in Missouri, I ran across a t-shirt in a local Walmart with the logo below and did a double-take.So what the heck is a Zizzer?Well, the school system apparently gets that a lot since they answer it on their homepage...===What's a Zizzer?ZIZZER (ZIZ'ZER) n. 1. an expert in any activity - adj. (colloq) FIRST RATE; 2. a person of the highest caliber, ability or reputation. 3. one who is victorious; (syn) A WINNER! Because to be a ZIZZER means to be the BEST at WHATEVER you do!===Must be a local term... Wait... this isn't a Zizzer?

Frenchie Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Idk what he is, but I love me some Youppi! He became the Canadiens mascot after the Expos left for DC.He is by FAR, one of the best mascots around, so entertaining, and great looks!!! @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 The Northwest Arkansas Naturals (AA) have a sasquatch named Strike. I guess him being covered in hair and ungroomed, he is in his natural state.Is the team associated with a local psychologist??? That photo has "Therapy" written all over it... @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I guess when you're trying to appeal to kids, the puppy look is a good one, even if it doesn't relate to the team moniker and/or the team moniker is abstract.So for those who don't know the history of the Toronto Marlies' name, (WTF is a Marlie, right?) http://www.marlies.ca/history/marlies.aspThe name Duke the dog may sound random, but it makes sense, and he is a really fun mascot: @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBubba Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 With a name like "Red Sox", there's not much you can do with a mascot, so instead of using two anthropomorphic smiling socks*, they used a green monster:*Well, technically. These guys exist, but are seldom used. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycumbee19 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Yeah.... we have 2 RiverDogs... and a palmetto tree. Always thought this was a dumb mascot. What makes it worse is that Bark wears boxer shorts underneath the flaps at the bottom of the tree. (Part of the costume.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
