“What makes a mascot creepy? Is it a blank stare, intimidating facial expression, or disproportionately large head? If you take a look at the three creepiest mascots in America, you’ll see that the answer is a resounding yes. Purdue Pete, of Purdue University, is the proud owner of all three, landing him squarely at the top of the list,” reads Quality Logo Products’ breakdown. “In fact, if you type in ‘Purdue Pete’ on Google, one of the first suggestions is ‘Purdue Pete creepy.’ We’re not joking. It seems, though, that Purdue is aware of Pete’s reputation. Former athletic director Morgan Burke even said that he often received phone calls from parents who said their children were scared of Pete.”
