Its a children's mascot, designed by children, for children. I'm not quite sure what you were expecting.

Whatever it is the point still stands, I thought someone was taking the proverbial but if the kids love it great.

I don't mind the idea of a bear and a ball. And I love the fact that kids came up with it.

What I am shocked about though is that a professional illustrator (I assume he/she was professional...) came up with this as a final draft. It looks very tacky.

The shirt is also awful! There's just too much on it. It's too busy. Screams if trying to please all and failing to please any.

A great concept, but poorly executed.

After all he takes his colouring books to every game
