Every sports team in the world has a mascot. But what are they and what is their purpose? From the dictionary definition of mascot, it is either an animal, person or object likened to a talisman to bring good luck to a team. This behavior emulating the near-idolization of sport mascot designs has been going on for centuries and is very apparent within native cultures of indigenous peoples. The people of Papua New Guinea, do a dance, while decorated with colors and feathers representing a local majestic bird of prey as a sign of bravery and for good luck in the hunt.
In fairness, it is appropriate to ask if the concept of the mascot is just to sell things. With any particular university, your professional sports team could certainly convince you, that was the case. But it may be more precise to consider that the mascot is a way for the diverse community of tens to condense into one cohesive and supportive unit. If you’re a fan of a team called the Bulldogs, it is almost certain you have a shirt jacket, hat or some other emblazoned with bulldog. Read more... (694 words)

What is not Corporate Plus Size Informal Clothing?
Sneakers and sweatpants have no place in a company informal wardrobe. They are casual and very comfortable to put on, indeed, but they are too laid back to be worn to the office.
Counting plus size jeans as a corporate casual garment depends on the dress code of the specific office. Some offices permit their employees to wear jeans while some do not. Some, however, do let their people wear them on casual Fridays.
Garments that are too tight, too short and too revealing should not be worn to the office either. So, very short mini-dresses, very short miniskirts and short pants can’t be counted as corporate casual garments. Tube tops, halter tops, spaghetti-strapped blouses and any top produced out of sheer, see-through fabric cannot be worn to the workplace either, unless one has a jacket, a blazer or a cardigan to wear over the blouse.
Wearing flip-flops to the workplace should also be avoided, even on informal Fridays. It is acceptable to wear flip-flops at home, when going to the mall or when going to the beach, but not when going to the office. It is far too laid-back and emits the wrong vibes at the workplace.
