fair enough that could be the case to just do what there told, well they do have eye holes they must be able to see some parts of whats happening atleast but they look creepy none the less in ways.

Thats what im trying to tell.
The most awkward part of that mascot is the person inside it.

I think they should have used crisper feathers at the end... the mascot looks like a used birdie... lol might be a bad image for the brand :o

Although this isnt a badminton specific mascot it was the mascot for the 2004 oylmpic games. ofcourse you have some badminton players modeling them.

Last year, I participated in a demo for Wilson's new racquets.
The racquets were pretty good... but not the shuttles.

As meteoflare said, this raggedy mascot doesn't do Wilson any good ;)

Hi again guys,
Actually I was looking for mascots as smash master attached (the second one) but more specific of badminton competitions. I remember that I saw such mascots just couple of times but it is reality. If I remember correct it was bee with racket and maybe shuttle as well. And they were for world championship mascots. Probably I saw them on the website of WFB but now it is not possible to open the site at all. Such kind of mascots Im searching. Any help?

ah no problem that i can help you with, im not sure about the Bee one would have to look more for that but i know that in the 2007 World Championships in Malaysia they had a mascot like that its a tiger? lion? one of those you be the judge of that one here they are. But this one was badminton specific to this tournament.

Here is another one that was from the 2006 Asian games in Doha, Qatar. But once again not badminton specific, still pretty cool though.

..i think it might not be a bad idea, afterall, if one is to dress up as a shuttlecock for this coming Halloween!...I mean, i'm sure the folks here in the U.S. will turn their heads, while at the same time, it'll promote the sport...:p ;):cool:

If the intention is to scare someone, there's no need to resemble a shuttlecock.
I just need to go as I am :o

If you watch the Swiss Open MSQF between TH and BCL, at about 1:20 as the players entered the court, these two running shuttlecocks ran onto the court waving some white stick and turning in circle, well ..., acting ..., see it yourself :D
