mascot costume

Wearable team symbol

A mascot costume is a padded, oversized outfit worn to portray a character—typically an animal, cartoon figure, or brand symbol—at sporting events, theme parks, or promotional appearances.

The wearer's identity is concealed inside the exaggerated head and body, allowing them to perform as the character: The mascot costume was sweltering under the stadium lights.

Mascot costumes range from simple felt suits to elaborate constructions with built-in cooling systems.
