Big Heads & Big Hearts

 Sir CC is a really handsome, buff Cavalier - we created the big, handsome guy last year for the Cleveland Cavaliers and have been watching him flourish -  moving about the basketball court and into the community

He's been in a dance-off on the city streets and a middle school's summer basketball camp in Cleveland.

Mascots get out & mix it up with youth and fans.

Sir CC is a sterling example of mascot magnanimity.

Mascot have big heads and big hearts.

Sir CC, Mascot Making and a Sports Writer

Rick Grayshock of waitingfornextyear.com spent some time at in MascotLand today. Rick is an ardent Cleveland Cavs fan and writes about them. Recently, he wrote something about Sir CC . That led him to us.

Realizing he could finally satisfy a curiosity about how mascots are made, he made the trek from Columbus, Ohio to Indianapolis. 

He checked out the original patterns for Sir CC's cape and tabard, counted all the foam pieces that go into making mascot shoes, saw mascot eyes before they are painted - and after they are painted and began to understand the importance of center front in the creation of mascots.

We even talked about the similar, quirky passions in the world of sport and the world of art. 

In mascot making those worlds meet and thrive.
