Brewers Need a New Mascot

[Buckylovesbeer]

Lets start the debate. You may disagree, but I really cannot stand the current version of our mascot. Terrible. Ugly. Pointless. Not that I am a huge fan of mascots to begin with, but ours just does not cut it. Bring back Barrel-man and a slide into beer. (I know this wont happen but we can all dream, right?)

 

What do you think?

I've always felt that our real mascots are the racing sausages, not Bernie. I don't come to the games for a mascot, its just an added bonus. Bernie is just fine for me.

We need more Bonnie Brewer's running around.

The old County Stadium Bernie was my favorite.

This is the best Bernie:

Current Bernie is fine I think, way way better then most of the league.

 

I hate shapeless monsters that should be on Sesame Street like Slider, the Philly Phanatic,

 

Check these all out, didn't know half of them: Mascots

Dumb question, but because I was too young to remember: Was the Bernie in the early '80s still just a guy in lederhosen, or was it someone in a costume similar to what we have now?

just a guy in Lederhosen.

I agree..some of the other ones are horrific. Rangers Captain? Raymond?

Wow, Lederhosen Bernie was before my time. He is by far the best. And Bonnie Brewer??? what a babe!!! My vote is definately to bring them back in costumes that mosts genuinely reflect the two I see in these black and white photos. That would be absolutely remarkable.... While I agree that the current Bernie is much better than the various shapeless monster mascots, I do also think that the current Bernie is very ugly and plastic looking. I'd be happy to bring back the old Bernie. And by all means he has to slide into the beer barrel. That's the whole point of the slide. Slide into a beer barrel and balloons go flying out. That was the greatest home run celebration of all time. Now we just have this ugly bernie sliding on the family friendly platform. But wow, going back to those old Bernie and Bonnie black and white photos, man, those were the days. That's just fantastic.
