Fees for tailor made mascot attire can vary depending on several factors. The main idea is that the cost will depend on the complexity of the design and the materials used. A more intricate design or one that requires special techniques or materials will generally be more expensive. Some factors that can influence the cost of a custom mascot costume include the size of the costume, the amount of detail and embellishments, the type of materials used (such as fur or foam), and any additional features or accessories required. In addition, the level of customization required will also affect the price. For example, if a mascot costume needs to be branded with a company logo or specific colors, this may require additional work and therefore increase the cost.

Cosmo

The Cougar, chosen as BYU's mascot by former coach Eugene L. Roberts in the early 1920s, has undergone a tremendous evolution since its inception to become what is now the feline phenomenon known as Cosmo the Cougar.

BYU purchased a pair of cougar cubs for 50 cents each in 1924 to excite BYU fans at athletic events. Live cougars prowled the sidelines of BYU games on a regular basis through the late 1940s and on special occasions through the 1960s.

The original cubs were housed on the south side of campus until 1929 when they managed to break out of their cage, kill two dogs and begin stalking livestock on nearby farms. Both were recaptured later the same day. One Cougar died, apparently from natural causes, three weeks later, and the other was taken to the old Salt Lake Zoo. From then on, BYU procured its mascots from nearby zoos and local bounty hunters but never owned its own cougars again.

Cosmo the Cougar, the brainchild of then-pep chairman Dwayne Stevenson, made his first official appearance before BYU fans on October 15, 1953. At a cost of 73 dollars for the costume, Daniel T. Gallego, Stevenson's roommate, became the first man under the fur. The name Cosmo was derived from BYU's diverse student body.

"BYU is a very international, cosmopolitan school, and that is where we got the name Cosmo," said Gallego.

One of Gallego's brightest memories of Cosmo was when he wasn't wearing the costume. Ernest Wilkinson, then-president of BYU, once donned the disguise at a pep rally and, much to everyone's surprise, "acted just like me," said Gallego, "When he took the mask off, everyone was shocked."

Traditionally, Cosmo's identity was kept secret throughout the school year, not to be revealed until the final home basketball game of the year. Unable to communicate verbally, Cosmo uses exaggerated gestures and body language to get his point across to the BYU faithful.

Being a crowd-pleasing, show-stealing symbol of Cougar pride can have a down side. Sparking the Cougar crowd has at times enticed opposing audiences to attempt to "skin the cat."

"In Wyoming, I had to walk around the entire game with my tail in my hand so that someone wouldn't pull it off," said Brian Larney, who was Cosmo in 1981. "On the other hand, I was protected from all the flying crowd debris by the cougar head."

With more than a half-century of service to the BYU community, Cosmo has become an icon of Cougar sports to fans and foes across the country. Through Cosmo's Kids Club, Team Cosmo and Cosmo's Corner, he is helping raise another generation of BYU fans.

The Brick Oven, a historical restaurant in Provo, helped bring Cosmo to a whole new level in 2001. Thanks to the generosity of owner Glee Zumbrennen, Cosmo was equipped with a brand new custom van appropriately named the Cosmobile.

The van includes a 1600-watt, 12-speaker stereo system, a dance stage on top, a basketball hoop, a variety of specialty lights, a fog machine, several sirens and a cordless public address system. The van also includes a complete wrap featuring Cosmo. The Cosmobile provides a way for Cosmo to be involved in the local community and bring the Cougar spirit to fans at athletic competitions both home and away.

Cosmo the Cougar

Cosmo the Cougar is the official mascot of Brigham Young University's (BYU) athletic teams. He can be seen at many sporting events, wearing the uniform of the team that is playing. In the past, Cosmo's job was a volunteer position, and no scholarship or academic assistance was given. However scholarships and other benefits are offered today. The mascot is expected to be involved in civic events and university functions.

For example, if a mascot costume needs to be branded with a company logo or specific colors, this may require additional work and therefore increase the cost. Another aspect to consider is the customization of the fit. If a mascot costume needs to be perfectly tailored to fit a specific performer, additional time and resources may be needed, which can increase the overall cost.
