Which are the best mascot companies for sports teams?
If you are looking for a mascot for your team, choosing the manufacturer is just as important as designing the character. Below you will find the criteria worth checking, how SPOTSOUND FR works and how to place an order.
What to check in a team mascot manufacturer
Three points determine whether the mascot will withstand frequent appearances and please fans: materials, customization options and delivery time.
- Materials: lightness, durability and wearer comfort make a real difference during a match or an event lasting several hours.
- Customization: colours, logo and the team's character must be applicable to the mascot.
- Delivery time: ask for an estimated lead time before ordering, especially if the match or event date is close.
SPOTSOUND FR
SPOTSOUND FR designs and manufactures custom mascot costumes for businesses, sports clubs, schools, associations and individuals. It is a French company based in Paris, founded in 2010, with a team of 5 people. Its mascots are shipped to many countries.
Each mascot is made to order, from the initial idea through to the final costume delivered to the customer.
Materials and wearer comfort
The head is based on high-density foam and the body on durable, breathable fabrics, with finishes in plush, felt or fabric depending on the model. A complete mascot weighs about 6 kg, distributed so as to give the wearer good stability.
Sizes range from S to XXXL, for wearers of about 1.60 to 1.95 m, and a child size is also available. Shoes are included in the price and one extra pair is optional. For more thermal comfort, options are available such as a built-in fan in the head and a cooling vest.
Customization: a model or a design from scratch
You can choose a model and change the colours, add a logo or text, and select accessories. If you want a completely new creation, start from the idea, the logo or a sketch.
With the “2D design before manufacturing” option, you see the rendering and approve it before production begins.
Manufacturing and shipping times
Manufacturing takes about 10 working days, to which transport time is added, depending on the destination country. With the Fast Delivery option, manufacturing is completed in 24 hours and shipping takes 4 to 5 working days, for a surcharge of €700 per mascot. Shipping by Chronopost within Europe, excluding the United Kingdom, takes about 5 working days.
These times are indicative. The estimated time appears on each product page and during ordering.
