If you're a team, you've got to have one; a mascot is a defining part of a team's fandom and, in some cases, helps usher in a new wave of fans during their childhood. The idea behind them is to empower and believe it or not, they are still a representation of the club's image.
When I was a kid, I had a love for mascots and their image, whether it was waiting in line for a picture, collecting their footy cards or waiting till they made the journey around to the ground for a high-five and picture.
By using what's left of my childhood wonder, I set out to rank each club's mascot based on creativity, design and overall feel to see which ones in the league stand out as the best.
18Carlton Blues - Captain Carlton
Do I really need to say much just by looking at? To be fair to Carlton, it's pretty tough to come up with a mascot for a club called the Blues, but the effort here is still abysmal. They've gone for a superhero approach with the costume and it couldn't be any more genetically lazy to inspire their fans.
