What are mascots and why do they play such important roles?
Mascots are defined as characters that represent a particular organization or product. Their roles are to build spirit and enthusiasm, create an emotional connection with the team or product, and serve as a marketing tool. School mascots often take on human form and characteristics and can be either male or female. In the United States, approximately 65% of schools have mascots.
The use of mascots dates back to the late 19th century when colleges began using live animals as mascots.
A history of mascots
Mascots have been a part of human history for centuries and are frequently used as national pride and team spirit displays at sporting events. Mascots have come a long way, from the original costumed tigers of the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago Cubs to the cartoonish mascots of today. Animals were the first mascots, and they were used as power and wealth symbols for many centuries. The Romans even attributed the animal god Mars with giving their teams strength, courage, and victory in battle. Ancient Greek teams were known to have an animal mascot. Mascots also took on a more mechanical appearance toward the end of the 19th century, typically in the form of a statue. Architects and designers would create intricate figurines or sculptures to represent the host cities at World Fairs in the early 1900s. These "beasts," also known as animals, served as the event's mascot and were displayed prominently for advertising purposes, such as in front of theaters and carousels. The living mascot became popular in the 1950s and continues to be so today. During this time, mascot costumes of varying sizes, colors, and shapes appeared in baseball, basketball, and football stadiums all over the country. These costumes delighted fans and gave them a sense of pride in the teams they supported. Costumes in the style of mascots had become much more common by the 1970s, and Disney, Hanna-Barbera, and Marvel Studios had produced some of the most well-known and enduring mascots. Ted Giannoulas' design for the San Diego Chicken attracted a lot of attention during this time period, and it did so until the 1990s. Today, mascots can be found at a wide range of events, including businesses and educational establishments. Mascots are the unifying symbol and point of recognition for each team at high school football games as well as professional sports games. In recent years, the culture surrounding mascots has grown. For centuries, mascots have been a part of sports culture. Their presence is frequently viewed as a sign of victory and national pride. A mascot is frequently treated with reverence and respect because, in the eyes of many fans, it represents the spirit of their team. The significance of the mascot to teams has not diminished over time, despite changes in their design and history.
