intoronto Posted April 17, 2013 Report Posted April 17, 2013 ^^ Omg...I'm already afraid of what abomination they're going to release in....uh, when's the mascot announcement again? LOL me too Well voting begins on April 22 for the public's choice of 6. The final decision will be on August 7, which is 3 years before the opening ceremony of the Parapan American Games. Quote
intoronto Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 Are the final 6 mascots the public will have to vote on. Quote
Ikarus360 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 Well, I retract myself. These actually dont look so bad. Are the twin kids supossed to represent the Francophone and English sides of Canada? The beaver looks far better than in that pic you posted before. The hedgehog looks lame though, reminds me of a cereal mascot. If I had to choose it would be between the beaver and the two kids. Sorry but the others, despite looking ok are not original enough for me. Quote
Ikarus360 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 Edit: Oh wait I noticed the kids look like the wolf and thunderbird spirits from the First Nations myth. Quote

trebor204 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Posted April 19, 2013 CBC Toronto has a informal poll http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2013/04/18/toronto-pan-am-games-2015-mascot-competition.html So far the Beaver has a slight lead over the moose (24.69% to 20.41%) Quote
Sir Rols Posted April 19, 2013 Report Posted April 19, 2013 Okay: Hedgehog/porcupine/whatever - looks like a mascot for a toothbrush Twin whatevers - straight lift from the Vancouver mascots Racoon - has the Sydney Opera House for hair - and he must be gay with that rainbow tail Beavcer - yikes! that hair really makes him look creepy Owl - meh. Moose - best of a dull lot Quote

The colours are supposed to represent Toronto 2015's official colours: Blue, Orange, Green and dark Yellow. Quote
intoronto Posted April 19, 2013 Report Posted April 19, 2013 I like the bird. It's nice. The owl? Quote
intoronto Posted April 19, 2013 Report Posted April 19, 2013 I think they should have 2 or 3 mascots like they had in Guadalajara. Quote
Victor Mata Posted April 19, 2013 Report Posted April 19, 2013 Loved the twins. They'd be the best plushies. Quote

deawebo Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Mmm I have seen worst, they look like cartoon characters... The porcupine and the moose are the better ones. The twins remind me of Vancouver mascots thou... Quote
intoronto Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 The total spend in 2010 dollars in the original bid was estimated to be close to $2.4 billion, the highest ever spent for a Pan American Games. Quote

FiveRingFever Posted April 24, 2013 Report Posted April 24, 2013 Do Canadians in general give a rip about these games? The PanAms are pretty much the junior varsity in terms of the higher profile sports. The only reason I pay attention is that some of the events qualify spots for the Olympics, Quote

The only reason I pay attention is that some of the events qualify spots for the Olympics, IDK in Canada but the seem to have a growing profile, because of the media coverage. But after 2015 they will go back to be non-existent in Canadian eyes. Quote
