Is it about time to get a TFC Mascot? If so, what would it be?
How about "Loonie the Loon"?
Before you shoot me for that suggestion, here's Arsenal's...
Are we paralyzed with fear?

no i speak for literally every person on this website, including you, when i say no one wants to see someone dressed up in an anthropomorphic animal costume parading around bmo
i have this power, it is called common sense and good taste
Never would I wanna see that crap.
It's one thing to say that. It's another thing to say "Close this thread".... You can voice your opinion and I can agree or disagree. Just because you're probably right doesn't mean that we have to resort to cutting of discussion...
Looking at Arsenal they seem to be able to have fun with it. They are not "freaked out" by it... They are obviously self actualized when it comes to these things....
I'm flexible. I can have fun with it so long as we don't take it seriously. What ever happened to having FUN?
We had Tony the Tiger at the last game. Shouldn't we have someone better than that?

this is what your precious thread is about
look upon this, and despair
In a season like ours, it would be nice to take a humour break like this.... Do you have kids? They would enjoy hamming it up with the Mascot at BMO. Don't look at the world through only 1 pair of glasses.
the only mascot i would ever want to see, would be a giant beer cup, with beer in it, that only sits right in front of me during game time. everything else can keel over and die.
If we ever have a mascot, we should agree to rush the pitch, tear it apart, and leave the garbage behind for the cleaning crew...
NO MASCOT!
Bitchy does her job up there keeping the seagulls away - that's enough...
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
wow...feels like 'off season' season

You guys clearly aren't the ones MLSE would try and target with a mascot and I doubt what'd ever it'd be would parade through the sound end? It's for the kids the next generation of TFC fans and south enders so maybe its not such a bad idea. I mean if every fucking Premiership team has one....
will this mascot accompany the cheerleaders on to the pitch with a t-shirt cannon?

The day that TFC comes out with an official mascot is the day we find out that everything they told us in the beginning about a traditional style club and authentic football environment was a complete lie.
I hope that day never comes.
If we thought there was a lot of beers tossed during the Columbus game, parade this useless thing by the south end and HEADS UP!
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
No mascot!
Next we'll be given thundersticks and told when to chant "defence" and that we have to sit and can only clap.
No... no mascot... a mascot would be the beginning of the end...
If anything... Bitchy is the mascot or the squirrel...
I totally agree that mascots are shit, but to say they don't exist in a 'traditonal style club' is totally incorrect.
allow me to present some 'traditional' club mascots:
West Ham Utd's
Herbie the Hammer
Newcastle Utd's
Monty Magpie
ManYoo's
Fred the Red
Aston Villa's
Hercules Lion
and the best (worst) of them all.....
Sheffield United's
Captain Blade

I didn't say they don't exist in "traditional Style Clubs" - but the existence of these mascots in 'traditional style clubs' has only occured since the mid 1990's.
Precicely the time when real fans started getting pushed away from the game by high ticket prices and corporate style marketing turned ordinary clubs in international juggernaughts. People forget that the "EPL" has only been around for what - 11 or 12 years?
If we want to emulate the current Man Utd or Arsenal, we might as well just emulate the NFL or the Leafs because that's where these big clubs have gone. A friend of my cousin had her camera confiscated at Celtic Park last week because she took a picture of the players coming off the pitch.
We don't want that - and we were told/sold a product that specifically wanted to be different than that.
Ask most people in the UK if they had more fun at a match in the 70's or if they would prefer the atmosphere of today. I have a good idea of what they'd say.
Over my dead body.
Support Local Football.
Mascots should be campy. That's the point. It's got to be tongue in cheek. It can't replicate the Supporters. It should be a pawn in the Supporters Arsenal.
No way would I want to use the Mascot like the Raptors where it's Centre Stage. Nor would I want it to be leading the cheers. There should never be anything SCRIPTED! It should just simply behave like an "Over-the-Top, High Energy and Emotional Fan!"
Then we've already got our mascot then. In fact - we've got a few thousand of them.
oh I see..... you want TFC to exist in a 1970's timewarp?
admit it - you got proven wrong.
'Traditional style clubs' are using mascots, even if it 's a shitty thing to do.
here, hate on this one:
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
oh... here's another one. 'Hoopy' the mascot
Lots of modern clubs (with traditional roots) use mascots.
Does a traditional style club and authentic football environment mean the players have to wear short shorts and use a brown leather ball?
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
Precisely! I think FLUSH is the best we have! We can just kick it up a notch..
our mascot is a cup of beer.
holy crap. I'm astounded anyone would WANT a mascot. Colour me shocked, apalled and disgusted.
that's the internet.
the first poster is really just trying to start a conversation. I really don't think anyone gives a mascot any credibility. But around here... if 0.01% thinks something, people tend to think it's a movement, and not just one person's opinion.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
Will the mascot where the pink jersey?
His correct name is Hoopy the Huddle Hound - but Hoopy will do.oh... here's another one. 'Hoopy' the mascot

Did you not read my last message? Hoppy has been around since about '96 - see previous post.
Also - traditionally players wore really long shorts! If You Know! The History!!!!
no thanks - mascots can fuck off.
