Mascots need pants, so we added the appropriate attire

Regardless of what your opinion is on the subject of mascots, we can all agree that they should at least make a tiny effort to put some dang pants on. Look at that thing in the picture up above. That’s an anthropomorphized kiwi in a T-shirt. Its genitals are likely flopping around like mad underneath that thatch of fur or feathers or whatever. Just a cloaca all hanging out for the world to see.

So we would dearly like these pantsless mascots to stop Donald Ducking it and put some dang pants on. Luckily, thanks to the power of Photoshop, we can now put pants on FOR them. For your approval, here are mascots we have digitally crammed into pants.

For the Florida Gators mascot, we have selected the Florida state pants, Zubaz
