Mascot Costumes

Anatomy of a Mascot Costume

• Headpiece: Often oversized and expressive, made from foam, mesh, or plastic. It’s the focal point and usually includes ventilation and visibility features.
• Body Suit: Covers the performer from neck to toe, often padded or shaped to match the character’s physique.
• Hands & Feet: Gloves and shoe covers complete the look, sometimes with exaggerated features like claws or oversized sneakers.
• Cooling Systems: High-end costumes may include fans or cooling vests to help performers stay comfortable.
