Partick Thistle unveil nightmare-inducing new mascot

Football club mascots come in all shapes and sizes, from lovable dinosaur Gunnersaurus to West Ham's Orwellian tool-with-a-face Hammerhead.

However Partick Thistle have perhaps got a bit too real with their new mascot, designed by Scottish artist David Shrigley. https://twitter.com/JamieRoss7/status/612968788095553536 While it's not quite clear what it is supposed to be, it is possible that this is what Scottish people think the sun looks like. People took to Twitter to voice their confusion and fear for the new mascot: https://twitter.com/donovan_ryder/status/612981077087535104 https://twitter.com/C82Design/status/612978901778829312 https://twitter.com/GerdOZone/status/612979339886522368 And of course there is video evidence, which is somehow made even more terrifying by the lack of noise. https://twitter.com/ClydeSSB/status/612976287523700736 One thing is certain - the children of Glasgow won't be getting much sleep this season.
