Duck Mascots

Sort of an Ersatz Daffy Duck

Ducks are pretty cute, and, based on that general truism, I assumed that duck mascots would be pretty cute too.  Boy was I wrong!  Here is a group of pictures of duck mascots from sports teams and corporations (as well as some general duck costumes for fun).  Aside from the duck dachshund and the actual duck they are pretty horrifying…It provides more opportunity for sober reflection on what mascots are and why we are so attached to them.

A cute wiener dog duck!

Daisy?

Cornerstone Charter Academy Mascot

The Aflac Duck is pretty endearing (even if he does sell insurance)

The Mighty Duck Mascot

The mascot of the Oregon Ducks! What is going on here?
