Mascot....... or lack thereof

[Bluey24]

Classic off-season post awaits you

Forgive me, but was there ever a time when Carlton toyed with an actual mascot?

Of course, not a big deal(!), but I have at times been envious of other clubs' mascots, such at the Tigers, Eagles, Lions, geez, even the Giants is pretty sweet

Thus, being a bit younger perhaps than others on here - did CFC ever trial a proper mascot?

Should bring back this guy...

We're too big of a club to trial mascots. I mean Captain Carlton is good enough, we're there for the footy after all.

Not mascots ... we had the Bluebirds ...

 

[LanceRomance]

We have captain carlton and navy nina


I suppose we could get a fly a tin of navy paint around on a drone. The kids would like that.

You mean a ripped dude on a hovercraft doesn't get you pumped up for a game?

I've still got this guy from Christmas 1988. He's a lot cuter in person.

too big - try hbf - more compact and cuter - easier for the kids to pass around.............

Recipe for success:

1. Captain Carlton
2. Hovercraft
3. Hot Hot Hot - Vengaboys

Problem solved.

Miss the Blues brothers. Gee they were lame but felt like we would always win when they did a lap of princes park.

I remember those days. Tug of war between Carlton & Don Lane over the services of Bert Newton

Maybe a Blue-arsed fly. Could simply run all over the place with no discernible pattern or direction.

Not sure if Emu is available, would be worth a call

The older I get the more I miss those Bluebirds but ****** if I can remember why.

And give away our gameplan before the bounce?

navy nina ain't gonna make it - no impact thus far and not sure why we are keeping her on other than to appeal to young girls in the crowd - needs to have a very big year or I think she will be sent to mascot hell in 2019 ie. shopping centre matinees............

Was Rogers involved in her recruitment? Another poor pick.

 

[Thrawn]

Let's be honest - our mascots are very lame compared to some of the others. Then again, it's really hard to make a "blue" a decent mascot. Tigers, cats, etc are easy enough.

Carlton's official nickname is the 'Blues'. Since the addition of navy blue to the playing uniform in 1871, the club has been known almost universally in print media as the Blues, Dark Blues or Navy Blues. Other colloquial nicknames include Bluebaggers or 'Baggers.[20]

Prior to 1871, when the uniform was predominantly chamois, the club was known informally as the Butchers. After World War II, the club briefly considered changing its nickname to the Cockatoos, but this never formally eventuated;[20] even so, the push was serious enough that newspaper cartoons depicting a Carlton cockatoo were printed around that time.[24]

The Butchers. I love it!

Been the unofficial name from BF posters when describing our disposal efficiency for years.
