Which team executed the friar mascot concept better?
13 comments
Padres fan married to a PC grad. Anytime I can get the Swinging Friar on some merchandise, I do it. But for live mascots, I’m team Creepy Friar.
2nd one looks like a cigarette with a hoodie tbh
Unpopular Opinion: I don’t care for the Friar mascot. Think it could be cool if they made him a surfing friar or dia de Los muertos friar.
Can we just bring back the Chicken?
My daughter hates ours!
I mean ours is better but that isn’t saying much
that is the grim reaper
I still don’t understand why we don’t have a really mariachi band pop out of center field when we need a rally. They did implement the band but there is no charisma.

Providence friar gimme ghost face vibes.
Swinging friar for the W
us
The second one is cursed
Love our friar, but I say we should give Bluepper another shot.

I’m not completely sure… have to get back to you on that. In the meantime, what the fuck is that abomination in the 2nd pic?!
