Ranking Colorado’s pro sports mascots: From Dinger to Rocky
As the year draws to a close, 2015 brought a bevy of memories, both good and bad, for Colorado’s professional sports teams — and their mascots. Here are the rankings of the the state’s pro sports mascots, from worst to first.
Last. Dinger, Colorado Rockies
It seems fitting that the Rockies and their five straight sub-.500 seasons would be the owners of the most disappointing professional sports mascot in Denver — or as former Post columnist Benjamin Hochman described it, ” the worst mascot in sports” and ” Barney after a meth binge.” The purple triceratops with the bedazzled frill is a constant reminder of the team’s struggles — not amusing, not fun, just sad. Also creepy: why does it turn its head around 360 degrees? Another former Post columnist, Dick Kreck, once called Dinger “a waste of carpet.”
5. Wooly, Colorado Mammoth
Like Dinger, Wooly is extinct. The Mammoth’s massive mammal — the suit is really big — makes it not the most mobile mascot in town. He’s ranked low not because he’s bad persay, but moreso that he’s not getting a ton of exposure. Perhaps as the team’s popularity increases, so does his ranking.
4. Edson the Eagle, Colorado Rapids
Edson’s no RapidMan. The bald eagle was one of four mascots introduced by the team to replace the longtime staple of the team, but has a ways to go before living up to the “muscular man-smurf,” as the team described him.
3. Bernie, Colorado Avalanche
After nearly a decade of not having a mascot, the Avs unveiled Bernie in 2009. The now 6-year-old St. Bernard has established itself as a mainstay at the Pepsi Center. His jersey number is a bone that looks like a “1.” The Avs’ website says his brandy barrel is filled with an assortment of snacks, but being from Colorado, we like to think it’s filled with craft beer.
2. Miles, Denver Broncos
The Broncos’ anthropomorphized horse has cemented himself as the No. 2 mascot in town. He ziplined into Sports Authority Field prior to the AFC divisional playoff game against the Colts. He played in pingpong tournament. He even joined the band In The Whale at the Underground Music Showcase this year — and later moshed with the crowd.
1. Rocky, Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets’ supermascot has been one of the NBA’s best when it comes to entertaining fans since he made his debut 25 years ago on Dec. 15, 1990. From his classic rivalries with NBA superstars Charles Barkley and Russell Westbrook to his antics during Denver home games, Rocky has left an indelible mark on Colorado sports history. A highlight this year was making a big tackle on a kid and then staring him down during a football game.

Reviews for "The Ghost in the Stadium: Denver Team Mascot's Unresponsiveness"
1. Mary Smith - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Denver team mascot's lack of responsiveness. I took my children to a game and they were so excited to see the mascot. However, throughout the game, the mascot just stood there without interacting with the crowd at all. It felt like a missed opportunity to engage and entertain the fans, especially the younger ones. I hope they improve on this in the future because the mascot is an important part of the game experience.
2. John Johnson - 1 star - The Denver team mascot was a huge disappointment. As someone who loves attending sports events, I always look forward to seeing the mascots in action. However, the mascot at the Denver game was completely unresponsive. It felt like they were just going through the motions and didn't put any effort into entertaining the crowd. I hope the team takes note of this feedback and works on enhancing the mascot's performance to create a more engaging experience for the fans.
3. Rebecca Davis - 2 stars - I have been to many sporting events, and I must say the Denver team mascot was one of the most unresponsive ones I have ever seen. Throughout the game, the mascot just wandered around the field without any interaction with the fans. It was disappointing to see the lack of enthusiasm and engagement from the mascot, as they play such a crucial role in building excitement and team spirit. I hope the team takes this feedback into consideration and makes improvements for future games.
