From Trix and Flix to Slavek and Slavko: Meet your latest Euros mascot, Super Victor

Bring back Pinocchio or Goliath, we say.

THE EUROS WOULDN’T be the same without some poor individual sweating under a ridiculous costume as children scream and shout for their attention, right?

This year, official mascot Super Victor will be found bouncing around the tournament, with very little purpose other than looking ridiculous and having a laugh.

He’s a normal boy who’s mad into football — and he can fly.

Personally, we prefer the older ones over Super Victor and the Euro 2012 twins Slavek and Slavko.

Take a trip down memory lane and have a look at the last nine mascots.
