The mascots for the 2014 Moscow Olympcis have been released and not without some contraversy-of course. The Olympic masocts will be a snowboarding snowleapord, a figure skating rabbit, and a polar bear. The mascots were chosen based on public votes, but many suspect it was fixed considering Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's favorite received the most votes. Also many consider the the snowboarding leopard to represent him, but no one is certain.
Overall, I like the mascots. I think they are cute and will sell easily- they would make really good stuffed animals :) Though they kind-of look like they should be Disney characters, I still enjoy them. I think they represent Russia and its people well. It think they did a wonderful job of picking mascots.
I agree with what you said about them selling well. I think they will be appealing to young kids and that they would want a tshirt or a stuffed animal as one. I think they are a little too cutesy but overall I dont think that that is really a bad thing
