In a post a couple of years ago I joshed that the mascot for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow might be Mungo, the shit faced octopus.
Mungo
Now some jokers have come up with something even funnier. Meet “Thistle man Clyde”
Such fun brightens my day.
What’s that you say?
This isn’t a joke it’s the REAL MASCOT?
Och! away with you!
You’re pulling my leg……………….

He looks like an amalgam of several muppets.
Its a wonder he is not carrying atartan shortbread tin.
Why do we always make an arse of it ?????
He looks like Bertie Basset!
It’s actually not bad since a 12 year old girl came up with the design.
It’s a hell of a lot better than Wenlock and Mandeville were.
That looks like something growing near my garden.
The Day of the Triffids.
Terrifying!
Jenifer – I hope you’ve got some weedkiller.
I was shocked to see Clyde announced on the same day as my Wee Willie design (which was actually created in January, 2010). It blew my mind. But, I suppose there’s room for two of the Thistle Clan to stand for something.
And here he is! The resemblance is spooky!
Ben,
You can see the Wee Willie page at the URL above. If you’d like a hi-res image of him, write me a regular email and I’ll send you any of the designs currently available.
Thanks, Brooke
