A storage container is an easy solution. Use a\u00a0Mascot Carrying Bag<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0your costume for easy transport to away games and for easy storage when not in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because your high school\u2019s mascot costume is such a big investment, it is important to follow the \u201cCaring for Your Mascot\u201d instructions that are included with your costume.

The instructions include tips on cleaning, brushing, and more to keep your costume in good shape for many years, so it can be used multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important that the right person, or people, wear your school mascot costume. Be sure to choose responsible adult and student volunteers to be your mascot on game days and other school event. Volunteers should be able to follow the steps on the \u201cCaring for Your Mascot\u201d instruction sheet on how to put on the costume properly. The head portion of most mascot costumes include a built-in fan and the wearer of the costume will be responsible for its use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Form a committee that will be responsible for the upkeep and storage of your costume. One or two people should be enough to complete the duties necessary to protect, clean, and store your high school mascot costume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Purchase mascot costume accessories<\/a>, like Cold Vests<\/a>, Cool Caps<\/a>, and Cool Collars<\/a>.
