Best Mascot

Ramblings
1

Just curious, out of all sports (college, Pros, Euro, whatever), what do you think is the best Mascot in sports? Of course…this assumes that everybody thinks the Charlotte 49ers is the best. So I guess besides the 49er, what do you think?

Surprisingly, I like the Arkansas Razorbacks. It’s original. It appears to be aggressive/intimidating. It sounds strong. It has multiple nicknames, Hogs. The red color invokes a fiery attitude. It lends itself to a cool chant for sporting events, “Wooo, Pig, Sooie!”. It’s not just a chant either. It’s a kind of rallying cry for Razorback fans. “Wooo, pig, sooie” = “Let’s go Razorbacks” in country ebonics.

I like some of the Minor League teams. Hickory Crawdads, Carolina Mudcats, Kannapolis Intimidators, Greensboro Grasshoppers, Winston-Salem Wart Hogs (WS Dash sucks.)

And from college & the movies, Cal Santa Cruz Banana Slugs.

Delta State Fighting Okra. Gotta be a story there! Man, I hate it when the veggies fight back.

You beat me to it. This is the best of all time. There are a ton of great minor league baseball names. I like the Everett Aquasox.

5

Do you really think that’s the best? Or just that it’s unique?

6

I’m curious about this damn okra thingy.

I’d have to say Wolverines. They could have stop at Wolves and yes Wolves are more intimidating looking, but a Wolverine is an extremely dangerous animal. The cool factor on this mascot was doubled after X-Men and then doubled again after Red Dawn.

That’s what I’m talking about. Makes for an awesome helmet too. Probably top 5 for me also.

Intimidators is a good call too. Unique, intimidating, history. Falls short with the physical mascot in my opinion though. As far as minor leagues, I think the Knights is a good mascot. If Charlotte ever gets a MLB team, they need to play up the stadium to the Knights Castle connection.

Ralphie the Colorado Buffaloes mascot is the best. This mascot strikes actual fear into people on the field.
