    UW Animal killed it with his first one of the season last year - the Michigan State one. Great song, great pacing, and just the right amount of theme. None since have lived up to that standard. It's not easy and I appreciate the guy trying. Our media team has sucked so very hard for so very long that you have to get contributions from fans. Also, Harry the Husky has dark syphilis circles under his eyes and that also should probably change.

    Sounds like you’re saying Jen gave Harry the Husky syphilis.
    I'm saying a mascot is either badass, clever, or amusing. Ours is horribly designed - the most beta, simpish possible interpretation of a husky. Everything matters. Let's use some of that $ we're saving on NIL and make a better costume.
    I don't usually pay much attention to such things, but seriously. What the actual fuck was the designer of that suit thinking? If I showed that thing to 100 random people and asked what it represents, I doubt more than 15-20 would say it's a husky.
    I still had tickets when they switched to this costume. The previous one was ok, this is terrible. It looks like a fucking raccoon.
    Yeah clearly. But even if it was the UW Racoons, does it need to look like a Nickelodeon Jr raccoon or could they make it a little more adult and football appropriate? Are there really that many adolescent fans attending the games?

    I'm totally down with having a racoon for a mascot. Those little fuckers are sneaky, tough, and will do whatever it takes to win the trashcan

    These racoons weigh 32 pounds across the line
    And they’ll do whatever it takes to win the game…

    I didn’t care for it. I’m glad it isn’t an official UW production. Those things usually come back to bite you in the butt.

    I've seen some seriously large ones roaming campus between midnight and 4am. Gangs of them even.

    Somehow I doubt the AD will be happy with #GoCoons though.

    For anyone who thinks the mascot is trivial...

    I make ads. Can't tell you how many times I've worked on brands with College Football partnerships. They need a spot, or a preroll, or whatever... typically the deal doesn’t let client use game film but you can use the mascots. I'm a UW '92 grad. Would love to promote UW. You know which mascots I pick for spots? Not the creepy syphilitic raccoon.

    We pick the same characters you see again and again. Sparty. The Georgia bulldog. The buckeye. Even the fucking duck OU stole from Disney. Because non-retards gave a shit enough to create something that looks good on TV. So those brands get reinforced ---- which leads to money to buy winning teams.

    And be clear… our raccoon does look like shit on TV. Especially in a lineup next to any other mascot. Its complexion is bizzarely darker than any natural-born husky, such that it doesn’t read on screen. Black people have to deal with this shit all the time, so much so that Google, then Samsung and Apple, have put millions into helping them out. https://www.wsj.com/articles/google-built-the-pixel-6-camera-to-better-portray-people-with-darker-skin-tones-does-it-11635177665

    But no camera can fix that our mascot has the expression of a cuckold forced to clean up after she-husky's bull. And that loser mug will be the face of our brand in the Big 10?

    Unlike others on here, I've been impressed with the leadership of Anna Mari Cauce. But this is her casus beli. Lead UW to a respectable new mascot and she positions UW as a leader in college football for the next 100 years.


    Mascot Ad superiority guy.

    It looks like a furry walking around cap hill.

    It's the worst mascot in D1 sports
