First, the Rooney family did not like the fact that cheerleaders were moving to skimpy skirts. The Rooney family owned the Steelers. Second, they wanted the fans to focus on football, not cheerleaders. Actually they do not have mascots. Each company actually has a logo. The logo for the NFL is a big badge that looks like the pattern for the Giants.
The weirdest sports mascots past and present
A variety of professional and collegiate sports mascots are iconic figures, some of which are famous on their own. The San Diego Chicken, or The Famous Chicken, may be the world's most well-known mascot even though he has no single team affiliation. ESPN and other outlets have used Mr. Met in television commercials. The Penn State student section chants for the Nittany Lion at every home game.
Not every mascot is a gem and a hit that lives on for generations. Some are downright weird and, truth be told, creep us out. With that said, many weird and unconventional mascots are beloved by local fans and those who pose for pictures with the furry creatures. Others, however, have faded from our memories.
May they never return.
