Great topic. I've long been a fan of cartoon animal and bird mascots in baseball. Many animals mascots, like ones the Cardinals often use, seem angry, but not the ones I've posted below. I call these "warm and fuzzy" mascots. My all-time favorite is what I call the "Early Bird," which shows up below on the cover of the Orioles program ...

Default Not very intimidating

I've always felt it would have to be the New Orleans Saints and their fleur de lis (lilly flower). A lilly flower isn't exactly intimidating, nor I guess would a saint be physically intimidating.

Default Names

The Arkansas Tourists - not to be outdone by the Arkansas Travelers.

Sacramento Solons - a Solon is a lawmaker or a member of a legislative body.

Don't forget those Evansville Triplets!

San Jose Missions

The Knoxville Knox Sox

Newark Wayne Co-Pilots

I would like to see the logo for the Portland Beavers.

Also, I wonder about the logo for the Batavia Trojans.

The Wausau Timbers.

There, I have wasted enough time on this, but it was fun!

The original question did not say it had to be baseball. I was thinking the University of California Santa Clara Banana Slugs. A cross between a jaundiced Shrek and Barney. If you want to frighten your children threaten to have him visit your house!

I think a lot of people in Connecticut were annoyed when the AA New Britain Rock Cats were turned into the Hartford Yard Goats.

This is one of their bobblehead giveaways, BTW. A Yoga Goat, LOL. Embarrassing.

I mean, in a way, I guess you could call it kind of scary.

The new Worcester Massachusetts Red Sox AAA team logo is pretty tough looking.

Harvey Ball, the creator of the smiley face, was from Worcester. I would see his son, an attorney in town, at the courthouse almost every day. Always called his dad by his first name. My accountant told me about the team and the new stadium last year (horrible location). My first thought when I heard the name was the episode of 'How I Met Your Mother' where they talk about 'woo girls'.

Worcester is trying to bring in tourist $. They should help the people that live in the south Main St area first.

The intercollegiate competitors of my alma mater, Williams College, are called the Ephmen after Colonel Ephraim Williams, founder of the college and a hero of the French and Indian War. He was memorialized in a painting called the Bloody Morning Scout based on the day in 1755 he lost his life fighting near Lake George Village in New York.

So, did the college base their mascot on him? No. Their mascot is a purple cow named Ephelia. It is my avatar here.
