Bradford do have a point though, he does now look like just any old bloke in a bowler hat, they have just played it wrong.

Should have taken him aside, told him they were having a rebrand, recruited a cute rescue puppy or a bloke in a chicken outfit as the new mascot and given the bloke a lifetime season ticket and a little send off.

can they not get a suit made up....

Sorry to ruin the fun Bradford, but Toby tyke is a man in a suit, not an actual Dog, same for Captain Canary, cyril the Swan, Hangus and Eric Eagle.

They offered that, but he refused to wear it and quit the job.  They didn''t just sack him, it has been misreported.
