Who gave this the go ahead???
:eek::wtf::worried:
"But the unveiling of ‘Kingsley’ didn’t go down well on social media, with one fan labelling it “terrifying” and another claiming it to be “an evil Pokemon type thing”." :faf:

[Peevemor]

the head looks like Lisa Simpson if she had been tortured and then melted. And then addicted to crystal meth for a while.

:thumbsup:

[SteveHFC]

Lisa Simpson really has let herself go.

The monobrow alone is horrific lol

[Off the bar]

I actually quite like it. It's so left field and bizarre, football mascots should be more like it, if you want the ground to be an intimidating place you should start by getting in the opposition heads with a mad frightening mascot. I think all the mascots which are basically teddy bears with a fitba top on are a bit ****.

This - I think they've hit on something here and it may well become a bit of a cult figure and a commercial success for them by the pure fact it is utterly bizarre.

Exactly what PTFC are aiming for, their marketing tag line is now "not so cuddly anymore". The whole thing is a bit whacky!!

Just saw this on BBC Scotland!

Quite like the PT mascot. Not sure it's child friendly.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Time to give 'sunshine' his jotters. Begbie the Leith B'strd, that's the way to go :aok:

Aye definitely, "Who the **** are you"

[CentreLine]

They said on Radio Scotland that there is a thread on Twitter on the theme of "Things that are not as scary as the Partick mascot". I bet they're having a lot of fun with that :agree:

[Hibstrooper]

Marketing master stroke

[Pretty Boy]

Patrick Thistle seem quite good at marketing that's a bit different.

They had a couple of pink strips a few years back (one of them a very weird grey and pink camouflage, the other was grey and pink hoops) that sold very well to non fans just because they were so different.

I'm sure they brought pink back last year, with luminous pink socks, as part of a link up with a breast cancer charity.

[Bostonhibby]

First reaction was I thought Willo Flood had signed for Partick.

This looks like a mascot not to be tangled with - could see him paggering these two at the same time nae bother - looks like there was a few too many substances going round the boardroom when that one was approved.

:not worth

I think it was, - Someone paid to make that sh***

Sure I heard on STV news, it was a condition of £100,000 sponsorship that the sponsors "arranged" the mascot design, I could be wrong. :flag:

Thought it was a bit of fun - the fact that it is just the sponsors logo has activated my cynical chip

[heretoday]

I like it. it looks as though it could give Hearty Harry a good kicking.

Hearty Harry is a Jambo, even the REAL Lisa Simpson could give him a kicking.

[jdships]

Big question is
Will the SPFL allow him to be registered as a player ?
If so what position will he play ?
Possibly
"Left Back when the teams playing away " :greengrin

Art is clearly in the eye of the beholder (or in Shrigley's case purely in his own mind).
