don logan 8,057 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 The guy that created that fucking abomination is a sought after artist. Modern art is honestly rank. You could stick a paint brush up my arse and I could shite a better mascot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMac 1,405 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Actually a very interesting story. The guy who designed the mascot has also designed a logo for the sponsors which will appear on the club tops. He won the Turner prize so you may have some speculators buying the tops as collectors items. Very smart idea. http://ptfc.co.uk/news/2015-2016/june_2015/kingsford_capital_management_to_be_jags_new_title_sponsor Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectre 1,663 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I've got a few books by the artist, page after page of daft wee sketches so it doesn't surprise me he came up with something like this. It does surprise me that someone asked him to though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
