Club mascots are supposed to be child-friendly caricatures that help to engage the club’s youngest fans with the team.

American NASL side Fort Lauderdale Strikers seem to have missed the memo.

This effort – and we’re not sure what it is – definitely isn’t doing it’s job. Whoever designed that haircut and those eyes needs to have a serious career rethink.

Don’t believe us? Look at the look of sheer horror on the face of the small child under the mascot’s right arm. Has Halloween come early?!

Happy Birthday Hot Shot! #Strikers #mascot #soccer
