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.
6Richmond Tigers - Tiger ‘Stripes' Dyer
Kind of a missed opportunity here by not making the Tiger yellow and black, so I'm marking Richmond down for that. Regardless, Stripes still has a kingly look about him while still appeasing to families, by not falling into the creepy category like others on the list.
