I've noticed that mascot design emphasizes the head, chest and, when necessary, the tail. Legs are given little attention. They are often saggy and generally look like the designer gave it a half-ass effort. Just sad.
That's to keep your legs from sweating too much.....there aren't a lot of places for the heat to bleed out in those suits; nobody wants to put in small blower fans.
Probably also allows the costumes to accommodate wearers of varying heights (within a certain range; I'm pretty sure that I couldn't wear one, but I'm quite short. Fortunately, I have zero desire to dress up as any sports team's mascot, and little energy to be outraged on behalf of other height-challenged folks who do want to do so).
As I've wanted to tell Donald Duck: in the name of common decency, PUT ON YOUR PANTS!

DeleteThe shirt is downright mean. Don't U. Florida athletes see enough Fs during the school week?
