(S28) PT2 - Mascots

[Sermokala]

The butcher's mascot is not a silly mascot. Hes a man of honor that wears his heels proudly in the tradition of ancient butchers. He wears his apron with the flag of Chicago proudly and with the Florian cross on his shoulder. Tons of foam knives all around that squirt out the cherry-flavored syrup that take the place of blood. You can't really make the "butcher" that kid friendly but you can lean into the important 18-34 demographic with the metal style T-shirts and the meat-eating aspect. Every sack has to come with the chop of some sort of meat on classic butcher block, with the authentic sound of metal hitting hard word ringing out in the arena. pulling off a serious mascot sounds hard or nearly impossible but I don't think it'll be that hard all things considered. The way to be successful in a commercial space is to either be better or be different. The flyers went in a werid direction with a mascott that frankly looks like hes a bunch of garbage. It has no resemblance with the team name, theme, or really any sort of relationship with the team at all. What it did have was a social media wizard who was able to spin the mascot into becoming a hit amonst all fans and somehow is the most popular mascot in modern times.  PK the death loon of Minnesota united fame is a notable model of how to to do a different kind of mascot right as well. Starting very basic in whats basically, a tight suit of black the arms have webbing that resembles feathers allowing him to "flap his wings" with minimal movement and still have full range to do whatever he wants or needs to do. heck how many female mascots are out there? Doesn't seem that hard to see that theres an obvious market for a female butcher covered in cherry-flavored "blood" chopping meat. Players who gets turnovers get a sauced turkey leg to take a big dirty bite out of.
