We've got one. And some cheerleaders.
Absolute waste of time. I'll probably get pillored by other Derry fans for saying this, but the mascot is woeful, and I can't see how it appeals to even children. Most of the wains in the Brandy are happier shouting dogs abuse at the players than waving to the mascot.
The cheerleaders are a total joke as well. I normally stand right in front of where they perform, and they just get in the road. The dances are hillariously bad too. We already have several heads who lead the cheers, so we don't need a bunch of jailbait* wee girls jumping around with pom-poms.
*I wouldn't by the way.
What is the mascot?
Ours is Benny(after Benbulben) the bull

We just ran a competition with local schools in which the kids drew their mascots and the winning class got season tickets to Harps.
The winner was announced at our recent United legends game.
Its a Collie dog (strange as I would have thought Derry would have had a dog as their mascot and not us), I suppose it plays on the fact its a sheep dog so.......................
Leo the Lion....... A Legend

Mons have a Football head as a mascot. We dont have a name for him at the mo. He goes down really well with the kids and when he was in the St Patrick's day parade in Monaghan he got a great reaction.
I would have been one who was against the idea of mascots originally but small children especially love them.

Interesting form of protest at some of your displays.

Barney and Homer Simpson were Blues Mascots a few years back!

Oh and Bord na Mona became our sponsors in 1990, we had Pete Briquette as a mascot too :D
I don't mind them. They're not there for me and if a few kids like them, fair enough
