Naturally, the mascot has gone viral:

[Falastur]

It's supposed to be a stylised thistle, I think. Just...not a very good one.

First off, what the hell is that monstrosity!

Second of all, why is there a team called Patrick Thistle? Isn't that just a guys name?

Haha. It's Partick, not Patrick. They're called that, surprisingly enough, because they come from a town called Partick.

Oh, I thought it said Patrick! Haha! Makes so much more sense now!

It reminds me of Katy Perry's halftime show. I sort of like it, actually.

Doesn't Partick Thistle exist so celebs from Glasgow can claim to support them and not alienate either half of the Old Firm?

Can't believe they're not shirt-sponsored by Jimmy Dean.

The fuck were they thinking making a sun with a fucked up face and unibrow? Does it have some kind of superpower like sucking farts for a living? What the fuck.

I gather that it's the logo of their new sponsors, who also employ the artist (he is the one who set up the sponsorship talks between the two groups). He's supposed to be a bit of a pioneer of this style of art:

Hope the one below the Arsenal one isn't a ballsack.

No, it genuinely is. It's not technically a mascot for a club, but it's a guy who turns up to various sporting events as part of an effort to raise awareness for prostate cancer.

Do other NYC team besides Mets have mascots? Do you think we should have one?

I was looking up NY state animal symbols and beaver was one along with an interesting bird. The eastern blue bird. Which has our colors...more or less
