Reviews for "The Story Behind the Garfner Webb Mascot Costume: Design, Materials, and Construction"
1. John - 1 star -
The Garfner Webb mascot is absolutely terrible. They obviously put no effort into designing it. It looks like a cheap knockoff of a character from a children's show. It's not even remotely cute or appealing. I couldn't stop laughing when I first saw it, and not in a good way. It's just embarrassing for the school to have such a lackluster mascot.
2. Sarah - 2 stars -
I have to say, I was quite disappointed with the Garfner Webb mascot. It lacks any originality or creativity. It's just a generic animal costume that you could find at any party supply store. I expected more from a university mascot. It doesn't represent the school or its values in any meaningful way. Overall, it's just a forgettable and uninspiring mascot.
3. Mike - 2 stars -
The Garfner Webb mascot is just plain awkward. The design is clumsy and the proportions of the costume are all wrong. The head looks too big for the body, and it's just hard to take it seriously. It's not a mascot that you would feel proud to have representing your school. It's just a missed opportunity to create something unique and memorable.
4. Emily - 1 star -
I can't understand why Garfner Webb chose such a bizarre mascot. It's not endearing or relatable in any way. The large head and exaggerated features just make it look creepy. It's definitely not something you would want to see at a school sporting event. I really hope they reconsider and come up with something better in the future.
