Deadspin
General rule about mascots: They should either entirely naked, or fully clothed. Emphasizing that sometimes they might take off clothes, and have a life outside of scaring small children at arenas, is just asking for trouble.
So the Atlanta Thrashers' decision to have their mascot wear underwear for a night might have been the best one.
"What you can't see are the even creepier Victoria's Secret wings on his back. I think it was "molester night" at Philips Arena."
If the Phillie Phanatic — who, as we've mentioned, terrifies us — comes out in his underwear, we're gonna take a little break from sports for a while.

You should have seen the time Slider pulled a Full Month at a Tribe game.
Let's just say that the curtains match the carpet.
This is worse than the time when the Phanatic had its period.
The worst part is the underwear was bloody in the buttocks region.
This looks like that time I fucked Phyllis Diller.
Huh. Always had him pegged as a "commando" guy.
Someone should have hung him on the boards with a big wedgie
There's a San Diego Chicken/cock ring joke just begging to be told, but I'll be damned if I can think of it.
In HS, it was well-known that our mascot had on only the mascot costume. I don't know which is worse.
He wears briefs for the support.
Love the guy taking a picture. "Honey, hold my beer! I just can't pass up this shot!"
He stuffs.
Yankees mascot George Steinbrenner was seen in Tampa early this morning wearing nothing more than underwear. Sadly it was not a PR stunt.
You know when the Slapshot bit has gone too far when teams start scheduling "A Salute to Ned Braden."
I'm surprised Kevin Bacon wasn't there.
When Steely McBeam does that, he leaves with his drawers overflowing with singles.
"Long balls Thrash, you've got some long-ass balls!"
Whatever. Harvey the Hound would pound his lily ass, tongue or no tongue!
Wait, wait. No, that sounded bad.
Molester night at Phillips and no Bobby Cox?
The fuck's a Thrasher?
Is he being escorted out? I sure hope so.
Dad?
@POPULARCOPY: Thrasher? But I hardly know 'er...
Will Will go for the Atlanta related post natural hat trick? Stay tune for the next Leitch post.
Mascots in tightie-whities are creepier than mascots without pants. Who knew?
YES
@Brazil Thrill: @Matt_T:
Would've been a perfect night for an Atlanta Lack of Pants Party.
He must work out.

@UkraineNotWeak: I'm down for an Atlanta Undies Party, as long as there are ladies involved.
The Red Wings were thinking of having Mo Cheese show up in his underwear.
/barfs in mouth

Big Deal. Mr. Met writes for the Colbert Report.

That's nothing, inside the head smells like throw up and Cheese Doodles.
Donald Duck thinks this mascot is a pussy.
All those people in attendance for a Thrashers game? They must've been waiting for the Haw... the Brav... Ted Tur...
Homeless. They're homeless people.
Lay off Atlanta, please. Speaking of which when is the ATL Book Tour Stop?
Keggie also wears underwear, but can't find them the next morning.
Why lay off Atlanta? It's possibly the worst sports town in the country.
No sir, I don't like it.
