I know it is wrong. I know it is uncool. I know I know I know. But I can't help it. I love footer mascots. How can you NOT like mascots if you have seen the Mascot Grand National in the UK. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n-xu9JOc5o&feature=related)
Should we have a Phoenix mascot? I am picturing a comical cross between an eagle and a vulture. What does everyone else think?

Foreshadowed back in 2007 perhaps?:
(Though I'm figuring you meant either the body paint incident or the Sevens parade)
On that note, bring back umbrella man!

Umbrellaman from season one! Yellow kitchen gloves, unbrella. Was brilliantly passionate about the Nix. Last seen at the Bahrain game waving a rarely seen black/white checked flag. I may be wrong bit I am sure it was the only one at the game.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

I think I saw him at the minor semi-final vs Jets.

This one is Leo:
He's a bit naff compared with the earlier ones but.

.... what about getting David Bain as our mascot ?? He's almost served life and I bet his ring has actually been on fire.

A Phoenix looking mascot being fired from a cannon minutes before kick off at each home game, still smouldering from the embers within, smoke streaming from its blistering skin, and screaming with the passion of a bevvy of Justin Bieber fans.
Fifteen volunteers required. Women and children first
AND FOR THAT SUGGESTION.........YOU'RE FIRED!!!

Hang on this is bloody Mothra, not some bloke in a crash helmet and tights!
Actually Mothra would look quite good, the colours are almost there, well closer to the team colours than the Retro yellow.
However I always thought we had a mascot?
Lone mate you have an uncanny resemblance to Mothra actually, therefore you must fight each other to see who gets the honour of being the Mascot!

He seems to have sold out a bit these days, wears the club strip etc, nil gloves or umbrella and now has a female sidekick, (probably the missus), who frowns at him when he gets excited. Mate it's either you or Mothra for me.

Sorry - my post was for Ultraman as preferred mascot, with Mothra as a good runner up.
I quite like it that there is an Ultraman Leo - but his outfit is a bit more silly than the original.
Still in Mothra's favour:
1. It has wings like a phoenix
2. Colours are close to the Nix
3. It belches out foul smoke if it gets p!ssed off.
The only problem would be night games with all the floodlights on - Mothra would be all over the place.

Not a patch on you LG (I'm backing you to body slam Mothra, followed by a figure-4 leg-lock and sleeper hold)!

I like the Phoenix suit idea. That way at half time for home games we could build a pyre in front of the YF and have a ceremonial burning of the Phoenix mascot.
Volunteers?
