That’s what Big Al should look like. As long as we’re cleaning house l, we should ditch the current Big Al and make him that. Give him some tusks and let him look like he’s ready to kick some arse. Right now he looks like Micky Mouse’s gay cousin.

We've talked about this before. Mascots are for children and selling plushies. Anyone who thinks a mascot needs to look tough is missing the point. You'll note that almost no school has a "badass" looking mascot. The idea of a costumed anthropomorphic mascot trying to look tough is just retarded in concept and would be worse in execution.
