How to Rent Mascot Costumes
While high school, college and professional sports teams usually have one consistent mascot, and therefore are likely to purchase the costume, there are many occasions that require a mascot costume for short term use. Renting a costume is the most economical way to do this.

Use your imagination if your school logo doesn't lend itself to a specific animal. If your team symbol is lightening, for instance, you could choose an animal noted for its speed, such as a cheetah, or for lack of it--Lightening the Turtle will draw some laughs without having to do a thing.

Tips & Warnings
Order your costume well in advance for major holiday seasons, when demand is exceptionally high.
It's worth an extra few dollars to have the costume available for an extra day or two so that the performer can practice his or her skits and routines while wearing it. Costumes are hot and heavy, and require a performer in good physical shape if he or she is going to do more than walk and wave. The performer will also have to get used to having limited vision and to using oversized hands and feet.
Be sure to take excellent care of the costume while you have it. These costumes are very expensive, and you will be held liable for any damages.
