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.

Bit of a controversial one here because I respect the creativity and the bomber hat, but it's just the face on the mosquito itself that's weird. It's almost too humane and doesn't fit the look of Skeeta, who doesn't have anywhere near the creative facial structure like the animals further up on the list.
