Among these symbols are the badge, the flag, the anthem and the mascot. While the first three are commonplace all over the world, the last one is peculiarly Brazilian both in its character and its use. A club's mascot is a cartoon character, often that of an animal, that symbolises some virtue boasted by the team. Most of them have proper names. Usually mascots come in two versions, a "soft" one, which is the official and a "hardcore" one used by ultras and torcidas, which often contain traces of vulgarity or violence. A mascot is also created for the World Cups, and are used for promoting environmental awareness. |- Canada Blue Bolt the Rabbit – FC Edmonton Sparx the Dragon – Forge FC Tac-Tik the dog – CF Montréal Bitchy the Hawk – Toronto FC Winger (former) (a bird) – Vancouver Whitecaps Spike the Belted Kingfisher – Vancouver Whitecaps FC Colombia Colombian First Division League (Liga Dimayor) El Águila (Eagle) Águilas Doradas Rionegro Barcino (Ginger Bull) Atlético Huila Nacho (Green Tiger) - Atlético Nacional Igui (Iguana) Deportivo Cali Odim (Gorilla) 90's - Deportivo Independiente Medellín Fidel (White German Shepherd) 2015- - Deportivo Independiente Medellín Cuy (Guinea pig) Deportivo Pasto Rocko (Wolf) Deportivo Pereira Monaguillo (Lion) - Independiente Santa Fe Jaguar (Jaguar) Jaguares Fútbol Club Willy (Shark) - Junior de Barranquilla Millo (Boy) Millonarios Blanco de la Montaña Mountain's White (Spectacled Bear) Once Caldas Colombian Promotion Tournament (Torneo Dimayor) Kike (Horse) Llaneros FC Villavicencio England and Wales Alice the Eagle and Pete the Eagle – Crystal Palace F.C.
