Partick Thistle's new mascot Kingsley has been compared to "Lisa Simpson on drugs" and has gone viral all around the world. The Herald looks at five other bizarre mascots from sport.
1. Scrotie - Rhode Island School of Design
Back in 2001 students were allowed to design the school's mascot and their idea wasn't shafted. The costume they designed was a giant penis with a red cape and a scrotum hanging beneath. For eight years Scrotie proudly cheered on his school's sports team.
The basketball team is known as the Balls and their slogan was: "When the heat is on, the Balls stick together." The hockey team is called the Nads and they cheered "Go Nads!" and the cheerleaders were commonly known as the "Jockstraps" (because they supported the Nads). Scrotie's original costume succumbed to wear and tear but he made a comeback in 2010 with a newly designed costume.

2. Crazy Crab - 1984 San Francisco Giants
"I hope there's nobody up there with a gun". The words of Wayne Doba, who portrayed Crazy Crab, on the final day of the 1984 season where the Giants lost 96 games in the season.
