Four NFL Teams Skip the Mascots

Four NFL teams are defying the mascot norm—Green Bay Packers, LA Chargers, NY Giants, and NY Jets—with no official mascots in sight. The Packers flirted with Packy Packer in the 80s, who’s now rumored to return for cameos after a surprise appearance in their schedule video. The Chargers had fan-favorite Boltman for decades, never officially sanctioned, while also cutting cheerleaders for budget reasons. Giants and Jets owners reject the mascot and cheerleader model altogether, aligning with a broader New York trend. These teams are carving their own identity on game day, proving tradition doesn’t always mean following the crowd. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
