The new Partick Thistle mascot is giving people nightmares
Partick Thistle FC have unveiled a new mascot, designed by artist David Shrigley – and people are finding it absolutely terrifying.
(Via Sky News/@thistletweet)
Sky News says that the mascot, called ‘Kingsley’, “has dead white eyes and a gaping mouth” and that “the costume doesn’t seem particularly child friendly.”
It was designed by Turner Prize-nominated artist David Shrigley, and unveiled as a California-based investment advisory firm became the club’s main sponsor.
Paddy Power issued a warning.

Still, it could have been worse. West Ham United have ‘Hammerhead‘ a weird half-robot that steals your dreams while you sleep (probably).
