I was just looking at a photo of Mariner Moose wearing shorts. For a moment, I found it odd how he’s wearing shorts. MLB players don’t wear shorts. Shouldn’t he be wearing pants instead?
But when you look at a mascot wearing pants, it looks WEIRD.
Take this photo. Look at the Texas Ranger mascot, Captain.
Focus on the body and legs. It looks like a regular player, but when you look at the head, it’s like YIPES! Why is there a horse head on that Texas Ranger player? The rest of the mascots look normal—as normal as mascots can be.
Now, let’s do the same with the Chicago White Sox mascot, Southpaw.
Pants on mascots look weird.
