Mascot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A mascot, originally a term for any person, animal, or thing supposed to bring luck, is now something—typically an animal or human character—used to represent a group with a common public identity, such as a school, professional sports team (the name often corresponds with the mascot), society or corporation. |
 | | Mascots are also popular with the military, both on a large scale such as the United States Marine Corps bulldog, or on the scale of individual units. |
 | | A mascot is not always an animal or person; for example, Stanford University's mascot is a color (cardinal), and its band's mascot is a tree. |
