A mascot, originally a term for any person, animal, or thing supposed to bring luck, is now something—typically an animal or human character—used to represent a group with a common public identity, such as a school, professional sports team (the name often corresponds with the mascot), society or corporation. American university and school sports teams are often identified primarily by their mascot. Sports team merchandise often bears the team logo as well as mascot. The team will employ an individual to accompany them to home and away games who dresses up as the creature.
Often the choice reflects some desired quality (e.g. fighting spirit, competition symbolized by warriors or predators) and/or an already well-known local, regional or other trait (e.g. Dallas Cowboys refers to the Texan ranching tradition, and has a virile image).
Tribal symbols and totems can be considered as mascots. Mascots are also popular with the military, both on a large scale such as the United States Marine Corps bulldog, or on the scale of individual units. Nations can also have mascots, such as the eagle, the symbol of Imperial Rome, the United States, and Germany, or the bulldog and the lion like the symbol of Britain; even a continent can have a mascot, such as the condor symbolizing South America.

What was that?! Portsmouth players not shaking hands, but bumping elbows instead with the mascots. Bloody swine flu, I presume.
