team mascots

Squad identity figures

Team mascots are costumed characters or symbols representing sports teams, schools, or organizations.

The mascot embodies team spirit and rallies fans—a person in a tiger suit prowling the sidelines, or a logo appearing on merchandise.

Some mascots are animals, others fictional creatures or historical figures: The Phillie Phanatic is one of baseball's most beloved team mascots.
