flggr Which club has the stupidest mascot?

[Saveloy Rockstar]

Mascots, every team has one. Most clubs have traditional animal mascots, birds, dogs, cats, often inspired by their team colours… but that’s not good enough for some clubs

Tommy “Thunda” Power. Once upon a time they were the cockle divers which at least related to their home but when Poort joined the AFL they decided to establish (ed 1997) themselves as the Powah rangers which meant they wound up with a Nick at Night ripoff who further enables the illiteracy of their supporters



Moz “Skeeta” Reynolds. Long before terrorism caught on, * decided it would be great to have a mascot that represented their “mosquito fleet” of 1920s premiership players. I believe this was also when they last won a final. It also explains the height requirement of 164-177cms for the person wearing the mosquito suit, which means Corey Durdin would qualify if he ever decided to take up something he might be good at



Captain Carlton. In the 1930s their mascot was a cockatoo (Carlton’s cocky - geddit?? ) then an elephant who I assume was Carlton’s dumb(o) before they switched to a giant Aryan mascot imaginatively called “Bluey” Ruckle followed by running out of ideas totally and having the Blues Brothers. In the noughties they finally settled on CC (no not Chelsea Carlton), a superhero whose secret power seems to be winning wooden spoons

Heck, you know more about Carltons history than I do.

Anyone who willingly wears the mascot outfit clearly is.

Who do you think would win in a fight between Captain Carlton and… a magpie?

Spoiler: Answer

 

[AvantGardener]

Collingwood in the 1800s:

Fitzroy are the king of the jungle Lions... Richmond are the mighty fighting Tigers...I know what we can be, we can be the Magpies

Meanwhile in the other code a whole state decided to name their team the Blues !

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

We have always been the magpies as they’re black and white. We don’t change mascots every other day or sell out our club colours for M&Ms and such

But your nickname is equally apt

 

[FurTheWin]

Captain Lame-o elite tier? I don't think so.
Shoulda stuck with the Elephants
Bottom row is about right, except for the Magpie who's not so bad.
Kevin the Kanga is good, Half Cat should be higher, so should the Bulldog although he doesn't look like he snarls and roars very much.

And kids, don't feed bread to the Swans


We also have Clawdia, the sexiest mascot.

P.S. I am not a Furry

I missed the part where we are called Carlton Have The Blues. We are called Carlton Blues.

 

[AvantGardener]

Anyway, remember Collingwoods mascot of the 00s. That turned out to be the stupidest and worst mascot ever and I don't think anyone can argue with that.

At the height of islamophobia in the wake of the 911 attacks, the Blues man mascot was a muslim.
I heard him speak about how he was basically hated 6 days per week, then was cheered by tens of thousands on one day on the weekend. It was quite the juxtaposition.

Actually, that is touching.

Thats not 100% correct. Elmer followed him around the other 6 days cheering.

Things are getting bad, when you start talking about Mascots.

It’s December

Who do you think would win in a fight between Captain Carlton and… a magpie?

CC would throw in the towel after shitting his pants before the fight even started

We are called Carlton Blues.

Not surprised

Anyone else remember this.

Waleed Aly was the substitute Richmond mascot according to this interview with fellow pseudo intellectual flog Bob Murphy.

If Richmond supporters knew that a muslim like Waleed Aly was their mascot that day they would have booed the hell out of him.

You would throw yourself off the top tier of the grandstand if you were stuck sitting next to them.

He’s got ya there Robert

 

[Megalon]

The Swans mascot Plucka Duck should clearly be elite tier.
