Looks better than London's mascots.

I thought it was FATOV ... "the Russian spirit of sloth and alcoholism."

The bear has the same goofy smile as the Moscow mascot from 1980...

A steaming dog turd sitting in a puddle of puke would look better than the shiny dildos London is saddled with.

Those aren't bad. I hadn't seen the London mascots and just looked them up out of curiousity. I think they could have spend a little more thought on the topic, maybe just my opinion but I wasn't sure WTF I was looking at.

I'd complain about mascot BS, but Vancouver's mascots really set the bar on that one.

Mascots are mascots, they're only as good as however many you can sell.

The bunny looks way to cute to be Russian. The bear and the fox seem about right. Like they're hiding something sinister.

Vancouver's mascots look like Japanese animation to me... suiting I guess.

I'm pretty sure that's a snow leopard not a fox.

Much much better than the london cyclops. These things won't give kids nightmares at least... they don't really stand out at all tho.

Agree with girly sports, slightly singed rabbit anyone?

The bear and rabbit look like they were designed together. The snow leopard looks like an "add-on". Doesn't have the same look as the other two.

They would make good stuffed animals but I'm not sure why they would have a scarf or hat or something to give them some colour. Much better than London's mascots though.

He's in the Vancouver mascots linked/thanked above - he's wearing the Pedo bear suit.
