Sports Mascots

Postby **post31** » Sun Nov 27, 2022 2:04 pm

Look if I’m being honest all I really want is a Swinging Friar soda and maybe a metallic chase version. Though I’m sure you guys would also like a soda figure of your favorite sports mascots baseball, football or basketball. Maybe even some college teams.

Friar would be dope! I wouldn’t mind a Mariners Moose.

Sports mascot soda?!!! Yes yes yes

Postby **digithor** » Mon Nov 28, 2022 2:37 am

That's something that maybe the teams could use for a special giveaway day to bring in more people.

Mariner Moose plz!

They barely do it with pops. I hope sodas can work.

Yeah, the pop line hasn’t really took off so I agree.

Yeah, also less space taken up to store the product if they wanted to keep more around after one of the giveaway days.

Still waiting on an Iceburgh pop for the Pittsburgh Penguins. So I'd take the soda version please :-D

But I guess it'd be much more likely to get the Pirate Parrot.

That for sure would bring me in.

I dig it! Funko made those Webbly sodas for the team they sponsor so it could be a possibility for Major League Baseball and other sports too

Postby **jagpop** » Tue Nov 29, 2022 5:26 pm

Mascot sodas would be awesome. Let's start it off with Sourdough Sam...bang bang.

Sports and Funko are not relatable. Most die hard sports fans have barely any acknowledgment what Funko pops even are.

Mlb mascots came out great, I vote for more college mascots

Postby **FunkoholicsAnonymous** » Tue Nov 29, 2022 11:20 pm

More NBA mascots please

Postby **Kal-El-051** » Wed Nov 30, 2022 12:18 am

All I need is The Green Monster with a flocked chase!

Postby **funko_gtx91** » Wed Nov 30, 2022 1:24 am

I would like to see wild wing from the Anaheim Ducks (NHL) a flocked version would be nice

Postby **Greymom** » Wed Nov 30, 2022 1:53 am

I hope that somewhere down the line, Funko does Sodas for college mascots. I think that'd be cool!

Exactly, sporting events want to get people in the door first and then sell their products merchandise or food/beverages. I can see it being a little easier for them with the webbly sodas since they are so involved on that one.

Although I hate the Astros... I'd probably buy an Orbit soda. I love him.

It feels like a when, rather than an if to me! Curious when it will be tho!

I work part time with the Minnesota Twin's mascot and I will be trying to get Funko to make a special TC Bear pop giveaway at Target Field stadium.

Postby **LoneWolf72** » Sun Dec 04, 2022 1:11 am

I'd like to see sodas that are dedicated to the voices of baseball. Bob Uecker, Vin Scully, Harry Caray, Mel Allen, Red Barber......you can do owners and managers as well.
You can also do the same for other sports.

Postby **Tusken** » Mon Dec 05, 2022 1:27 pm

Good idea. I would like to see a flocked Gator (Albert) from the Swap. Let's go Florida. :freddy3:

Postby **islander671** » Mon Jan 09, 2023 12:29 pm

I dont want to sound as Mr. Negative, but I know the pop lines didnt too well but if they do a Soda line I hope this one rocks! Personally I would love to see some NBA mascots, such as Benny the Bull in a flocked suit, or either a GS Warrior Thunder, or a OKC Thunder in metallic. Also as a huge 49er fan, I would definitely welcome a Sourdough Sam Soda in metallic form.

Postby **Keef84** » Mon Jan 09, 2023 2:00 pm

Great idea, but think would be best as a giveaway day for that specific team . Thinking about it more, wish this would happen now lol

Did they not sell well? Most of the MLB mascot Pops are worth quite a bit so that would surprise me.

I personally hope they keep making NCAA Pops so I can finally get a Big Jay for the Kansas Jayhawks.

My apologies I probably should not have blanketed every sport as I am not sure about the MLB mascots, but I remember seeing them quite a few of the NBA mascots sitting on shelves even some at Funko Hollywood. I remember seeing Squatch and Raptor on the shelves. Personally I thought Squatch was an awesome mold.

Is it bad when I saw the topic I immediately thought of pro wrestling.. I could see wrestling championship belts with little arms and legs or even posters from past ppv’s with little arms and legs..

That would be cool. I’d for sure buy Undertaker and Mick they are my two favorite wrestlers of all time.

Here’s something funny. None of the sports team I follow have mascots. lol

Postby **FireEmblemZack** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 3:39 pm

I'd go wild collecting these!!! I think the soda form would work really well for them! I was tempted to get the POP versions but for space, sodas would work better!

Postby **Calico88** » Sun Jan 15, 2023 1:33 pm

please give us a exclusive nj devils pop or numbered ones gives me a reason to go to another game

I love when I come to the board and see Padres fans. I’ve been a fan since I was 9 years old and would absolutely love a swinging friar. I buy sodas because my kids and I love them, I don’t sweat if I get a chase or not. If they did the friar I would buy them h til I had both figures. I’d have to have both.

I was born and raised in San Diego so I’m a Padres fan did life as long as they don’t leave in the middle of the night like the chargers did 8-[

We have all of the Mascots that were released for Baseball and Hockey (still waiting for some that were never released) as well as some College (looking at you Joe Bruin) ... and we've even gifted many more to family and friends that were fans of particular teams.

It's so much fun to give them to my son's teachers that already display their fandom in their classrooms ... not to mention showing our fandoms in the office.

I WOULD LOVE to see mascots come out in a soda form! Can I be put on a 1 Case per Character pre-order subscription now?
