Which MLS team has the best mascot? Survey says Cozmo, from the LA Galaxy

Which MLS team has the best mascot?

The clear winner is the Cozmo, the black and yellow friend of the LA Galaxy. At least that was result of a nationwide survey of more than 2,000 MLS fans, conducted by research firm casino.ca

Cozmo had by far the highest ranking in the fan survey, followed in order by Toronto FC's Bitchy The Hawk, Sporting Kansas City's Blue the Dog, Austin FC's Austin FC Adoptable Dog, and the Houston Dynamo's Dynamo Diesel.

On the other end of the spectrum, LAFC's Saker Falcon was voted to be MLS fans' least favorite mascot. Sammy the Sounder (Sounders), Q (Earthquakes), RapidMan (Rapids) and Spike (Whitecaps) rounded out the bottom five.

Cozmo is most well known for a 2017 photo in which he trolled former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho during an international friendly between the two teams. As the Portuguese boss departed the pitch, the Galaxy mascot held up a sign at him saying "It's called soccer."

TFC's Bitchy the Hawk was voted to be the MLS' most intimidating mascot, according to the study. Cozmo came in fourth on the intimidation scale.

In a ranking of top mascots across a number of North American leagues - the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and MLS - the research firm found that Cozmo checked in seventh overall, behind the likes of Benny the Bull (Chicago Bulls), Phillie Phanatic (Philadelphia Phillies), Gritty (Philadelphia Flyers) and Lucky the Leprechaun (Boston Celtics).
