mascot

Lucky team figure

A mascot is a person, animal, or object adopted as a symbol to represent and bring good luck to a group—typically a sports team, school, or organization.

The mascot embodies team spirit and identity: The university's mascot is a golden bear.

At games and events, someone in a mascot costume entertains crowds and rallies fans.
