Mascot are a figure that represents a school or foundation or a group which is supposed to promote the spirit and drive of that group. These symbols give each group member something to identify with and support. These little symbols represent much more than just the group itself.
In history there have been many symbols to represent groups or two opposing sides in a war, or on an idea, or congregations. The symbols given to these groups represent much more than just the image they convey. Some symbols may mean wisdom or strength or loyalty as well as many other things. No matter what these representations mean, they promote spirit and the well being of the group.
The same effect is seen in schools. For example when cheer leaders chant they do not say the name of the school necessarily, they chant the name of the school mascots. These are symbols of respect, and can even be seen as representations of how fierce the opposing school teams can be.
These symbols can have a deep psychological impact on people, for example if a team was to compete against another team called the fluffy bunnies there would be no intimidation factor which is another thing these symbols represent. Without this intimidation factor no team would have an upper hand which could be called cheap or cheating in some ones opinion but it adds to the competition.
Symbols are more than just teams or groups, they give people something to belong to. These symbols make it so that you relate to the people in the group but also the symbol. For example, the black panthers were a group of radical racial ideals in a controversial time. The members of the group did not call themselves members of a radical group but they called themselves panthers. Over time the symbol becomes a part of who you are, like is sororities or fraternities.
This figure can also mean more than just team spirit. Some times these are indicative of time periods and current events during the time the building was constructed. Pursuing this further, it is easy to understand why a prison building turned school house would be called, freedom. Sometimes schools are named after big figures in history, for example, there are several school names Martin Luther King Jr. High, or other schools that may be named after presidents and such. Many times there are schools that get their name and mascot from a person who helped to build, and fund the production of the building its self.
Even though this is not normal, some institutions do not have symbols to represent them, many establishments such as musical institutions and such have a higher concentration on things that do not need symbols. Also, many private schools are known to not have a symbol like other public schools do because it may be hard and slightly strange to turn a religious figure into a symbol to represent a whole school.
Mascots are identifiable, they are symbols people relate with, they are what students and parents put their faith in during major sporting events. These mascot symbols are what represent the schools and the time periods they were build in. Theses symbols represent the school in one simple word, phrase, or animal.
