Old Mascots: How Quaint

I rustled up these two old-timey mascots, and it seems like each is a definitive look at a stereotype.

This first is Johnny Canuck:


Doesn't that just scream Canadian? Lumberjack shirt, beard, hockey blades, stick...together that's the unmistakable look of a Canadian stereotype. It was used for a brief period by the Vancouver Canucks NHL team.

How about this next picture?


Just screaming Old Coot, this prospector is one of the old time mascots used by the San Francisco 49ers NFL team. It's like a realistic Yosemite Sam picture.

Both are pretty bizarre and the kinds of things that you can't forget easily.
