Request - 90's style mascots

[Made4September]

Anyone remember those short solid, "buff" style footballers, with the big chest, the footy under the arm...etc etc?

I'm after a reasonable sized one, any team (preferrably Footscray)
But the "character" must be human (ie can't be a "bulldog")

Any help greatly appreciated

these take me back... i think they are brilliant, even Channel 7 were using them as official logos in their footy broadcasts in the early 90s

i wouldn't mind someone attempting to do one for the Dockers, Port, Gold Coast "GUARDS", while Brisbanify the Lions one

i just don't see how a surfer dude equates itself as a mascot for Freo

Those are magnificent, and the best. Bring them back.

There was a time when Ch 7 had an animated character of the winning team that would go across the screen immediately after the final siren

Anyone else remember when they brought out the 90's mascot lollies. Packet contained one large jelly-lolly and a footy card.

Awful compared to the VFL ones.

Awful compared to the VFL ones.

They bring back memories of The Winners - ABC - Sunday nights...great stuff!

Brisbane Lions version

Freo... it's pretty crap, i know

 

[Johnson#26]

they're pretty cool, fj. i reckon this idea has to be suggested to the league/clubs. enough of this 'mascot manor' nonsense, or whatever it is it's called.

That is one of my earliest memories of the football in 1988 when I was just 7 and watching footy for the first time. I always looked forward to seeing each teams animation after the siren. I just always wished the Magpie was a bit more fearsome. He sort of flew in out of control, and landed on his arse, looked a bit confused for a moment, then strutted off smiling.

Don't stress, so are they.

Would anyone have those in vector format by any chance?
Does Port has a version of those?
