University Mascots

The University Mascot is the unofficial mascot of a college or university, mainly used in sporting events to improve the fun of the sporting event. The mascot usually wears a scarlet and white outfit and is an emblem of the school. The mascot is responsible for helping the team get the best ratings in the game. The mascot's costume and uniform are designed and created by a company. Many college & university mashup companies have their own mascots, and they are often the subject of debate. 

What are some of the most popular Mascots?

The most popular college mascot is the bear. These statues are often dressed as a human animal or a buffalo and can be seen all over campus. While the bear may not be the most exciting mascot, it is still an integral part of game day. Unlike most mascots, the university musketeers and students enjoy dressing up as their favorite animal and having a good time. These mascots are a great way to engage fans and increase school spirit!

The University of Delaware has adopted a new mascot, the "Banana Slug". The banana slug, a yellow mollusk, is the official mascot of the school. The UC Santa Cruz mascot is called Sammy. The UC Santa Cruz mascot can also be seen wearing a custom jersey with a red collar. Besides being a fan of the football team, Sammy is the mascot of the spirit teams at UC Santa Cruz. At the University of Reading in the UK they have Kevin the Ichthyostega who is an unusual mascot but one that has gained a lot of popularity in the UK, taking part in the University Mascot Rankings and coming third, losing out to Stirling Squirrel and winner Wolfie from Limerick, the competition was set up by Bantshire.

Do University Mascots help students in sporting events?

It has been hard to quantify if university Mascots help students in sporting events; however, they do bring a great atmosphere to students wanting to have a fun environment for the and their spectators. In the US university events are a big part of student life, the university will receive a large number of spectators from the local town and old alumni making it an important event for students. The Mascot can add to the fun with a range of funny dancing, mocking the opposition. This has been an old university tradition that seems will continue.
