New Mascot - "Mighty Red"

[goodspam]

This is Liverpool’s new mascot – a life-size Liver Bird called ‘Mighty Red’ – and he’s been causing a stir online after images were leaked today.​

The cartoon-ish character, which is loosely based on the Liver Bird seen on the Liverpool badge, is the latest introduction by the club’s American owners in a summer of changes at Anfield.​

While the club has not traditionally had a mascot appearing on match day, ‘Mighty Red’ is not expected to appear pitchside at Anfield, much to the relief of the Reds’ supporters.​

Instead, the striking costume will be used in Liverpool’s community work and is designed to appeal to children.​

That's not even a pelican!

Looks more like a wood-pecker to me.

 

[Richey]

Oh Christ.

I have taken an instant dislike to that thing.

Jesus
Cue selling dolls etc.

 

[Rosco]

I can't see this going down well

EVERYTHING'S SUPER FINE AND DANDY HERE !

It's not a good idea, but provided its not paraded round the ground on match day or anything I'm not that arsed.

I'd be amazed if when they inevitable stuffed toy comes out Luke & Harrison won't both want one, & getting kids on board is essential for the club.

What's the problem with that?

 

[FoxForceFive]

It's worth it just to read the thread in rawk decrying it as the beginning of the end.

Looks like a pterodactyl

People have way to much time on their hands over on RAWK.
A fucking mascot who wont even be pareded around Anfield on matchday.

Sweet baby Jesus why do people get carried away with everything!?!

What's the point of having a mascot if its not gonna be paraded around the ground during match day.

Indeed. How in the name of anything on earth does that resemble a Liverbird?

He looks dead happy though so I'm ok with it

So the club isnt involved in any other merchandising besides matchday then?

Parts of RAWK seem to think FSG are the devil and all evil in the world.

 

[hmmmmm1]

I can see in a few months this mascot being paraded on the pitch.

Not that im fussed, its for the kids

I've just bred one of them on Dragon Vale. If it appears pitch side at a games next season it's gonna get a sweaty Sayers pastie lashed at its fucking big fat head.

 

[peterhague]

It's a fucking outrage. I mean next thing we know there'll be a murder, and drive-by shootings in the night, it'll be like Boyz N the Hood. And we'll have whores selling their wares in the street, and the pimps will be using crack cocaine to keep the whores under control.

 

[Gary25]

Lol can't believe people are getting worked up by this.

 

[Hansern]

When I see the threads and mods on RAWK I think of the Stasi.
8 threads of about 40 on the first page of the transfer forum are open. The rest are locked because people talk about or mention another clubs, twitter, news sources etc.

My little girl already loves it. Can see this being used for kids birthday parties in the Bootroom.

I don't know what it is about mascots. I'm quite a gentle bloke but whenever I see someone dressed as a mascot I want to beat the shit out of them.

 

[25_05_05]

"....designed to appeal to children" = we're going to put this on every piece of merchandise we can think of.

Lol. This thread has potential.

Ted is definitely not for children....if the trailer is anything to go by!

Maybe the club can commission Mighty Red cartoons for the LFC channel. Getting a bit bored with the 50 best premiership games.

i like him , from the looks of that pic he's already kicking off and they're having to keep him under control . I expect some pics of Mighty Red at an orgy with those Desperate Scousewives to appear online soon .
