I rather like the mascots, and they are better than an over tattooed hoodie.

Also, the cartoons & story that goes with them was quite cool.
It would be a skanky urban fox, a hyperactive, thieving grey squirrel and a mutant one-legged pigeon.

I think they are alright. At least they showed creativity and not come out with an uninspiring bear with long legs.
And they can go too far with this naming reference to obscure forgotten and uniportant facts. Must have cost millions to agree to those. Why do they just not call them Bob and Steve and then go to the pub?

As for the "who thought of one-eyed creatures", I think that boils down to the fact that the designer of same has spent altogether too much time with a one-eyed thing in his hands. Some kind of bizarre auto-suggestion.
