Mascot Makeover "The Happy Huskies"

   I love them! Yes that is correct. I love team mascots. Silly, scary, weird and odd, I love them. There are some mascots out there that will definitely strike fear into the opposing team. Literally make you say "Oh my stars! We can never beat them-they have a devil as their mascot!" Then you curl up into a ball and hide in the corner until the game ends praying that the devils don't kill your favorite team or unleash some voodoo devil magic on them. Maybe not to that extreme, but you get the point. Mascots are supposed to strike fear into your opponents and make them cry.
However, I have found that there are several mascots out there that do the complete opposite.They pretty much seem to be a joke. I laugh a little when I see them. So the real reason I'm writing this today is to bring to light that this next mascot is not very scary to me and I think we should rename them:

The Happy Huskies!
Yup, that's right. He looks way to nice and friendly to tear your head off. Don't you just want to give him a treat? A scratch behind the ears? Look at that cute tongue!
Okay, to me this mascot is way to cute and cuddly looking.
Hmm.. how can we make him more terrifying? I have a couple of ideas.
How about a scar on his face. That shows he's been in a few fights and still came out alive. The other guys, not too lucky.
Next he needs a pirate patch over his eye. Maybe he was fighting another pirate and got stabbed in the eye with their hook hand. Or maybe he just wears it to look "bad A". But let's face it pirates are scary. They're dangerous. They have scurvy.
Since our society is obsessed with Vampires, let's make him a Vampire Husky named Twilight.  And last but not least, because he's a "bad boy" with a golden heart I'll give him a gold earring. Here's what The Happy Husky looks like now: 
Pretty scary huh? Well, my job here is done. Until the next Mascot Makeover! When another unsuspecting mascot will get to look even cooler than they should be!
