Nothing beats a live sporting event . But between whistles, intermissions, and commercials, they also come with a lot of downtime.
That’s where mascots come into play. Often inspired by a local animal or legend, these costumed creatures serve one real purpose: entertain the crowd while the actual athletes catch their breath.

The general rule of thumb is simple: animals, good. Abstract concepts, risky. Anything that even slightly resembles a human face? Never. Not once. Not ever.
Oh, and if most children that come into contact with it start crying, you probably need to workshop the costume a little more.
With all that said, let’s dive into the worst of the worst.
