I'm not a fan of Harvey or any mascot but how can he be the worst when the Oil have that nightmare-fuel lynx as theirs? Hunter is terrible.

How about the Rangers? Think they are the only team in the NHL that doesn't have a mascot.

Have they seen the peyote fueled nightmare that is just north of us?

In fairness, there is some truth to this ranking. Harvey used to be a lot more fun - hanging off the balconies, banging on his drum while standing on the railings, sneaking up on people, annoying visiting team's coaches, running around the Dome like a mad dog, making people laugh and cheer harder. During this Monday's game, I've seen him maybe once, that's it.

Agreed. But that's where I come back to - how on earth do you vote him as most obnoxious? I could see most invisible, or most boring, or most irrelevant. But they voted him most obnoxious, and scariest - literally the opposite of what he is.

Why is Harvey scabbing as the Wranglers' mascot?

Most of the newer mascots in the league look like something that was pitched by agencies, so Harvey is the most authentic. How he was rated where he was is just salty.

A poll conducted by online betting platform… You have to consider the demographic of the voters. Maybe CTV should publish an article “99 percent of fans think Edmonton is no good.” According to a poll on Calgarypuck.

All I know is that if I am attending a game, I am unreasonably excited when Harvey comes into my section and will jump up and down while pointing and yelling, "It's Harvey! Harvey! Over here!"

Harvey was just some guy with a dog costume who knocked on a few doors. Gotta love the initiative.

I think I would have had a hard time naming more than one other mascot before this thread. Methcat and Harvey.

Aren’t there a few of them? I have heard that the original Harvey guy is long gone and there have been several other actors in Harvey’s costume. So, different personalities play a role, obviously.

Yep, it's not the original feller.

The rights to the Harvey likeness was purchased by the Flames organization some time ago.

when havery isn't on the Jumbotron everyone should be asking, "Where's Harvey? Why isn't he on the Screen?"

This feels like an Oiler fan hijacked poll that is pointless.

Just looking at a picture of Hunter “the Johnny Appleseed of Nightmares with
mascots” makes that character objectively worse.
