- From Gunnersaurus Rex at Arsenal to Moonchester and Moonbeam at Manchester City, HITC Sevens attempts to explain the reasoning behind every mascot in the Premier League.

Gunnersauras and Fred the Red are true legends of the game. They don’t talk about it, there seems to be respect between them, but they’re just phenomenal to watch. People try and make comparisons about who’s better, just enjoy them man.
Fred the red overrated ngl
@@MoeSzyslak20 your overrated ngl
Lifelong spurs fan and even I'll admit i enjoyed the "fuck it that'll do" aspect of gunnersaurus, he's still a prick when we play there mind
respect between them ehh there mascots u neek
everttoonnn
“*this is the Wycombe mascot, not my dad”
Thanks for clarifying that Alfie, cheers
😂😂😂
This video was just brilliant. A Perfect blend of education and entertainment. Just what I needed on a Monday.
With a pinch of sarcastic Nihilism at the end
And now it's Monday again, and it's still funny! 😊
Gunnersaurus might be one of the strangest but hes one of the best Mascots 100%
Fr, and I’m not even an arsenal fan
The two Villa mascots are actually lovers, they even had a child called Chip until budget cuts. They ran comic series and everything in the old junior club magazine.
wow!! lovely indeed
We need a similar video for other leagues.
I just remembered the Reading mascot getting sent off during a 2007 game against Newcastle after the lino kept mistaking him for a Reading defender when making offside calls. Its not quite the Swansea mascot getting into fights, but it's still a bit of a funny memory
That is one way to make an impact XD
Big up kingsley
I was at that game lol
Commenting early, The Arsenal Mascot attending the kids wedding is so wholesome & brilliant 👏
It might interest you to know the origin of Wigan's pie association. Or it might not. But here I go.
In a miner's strike in the 1920s, Wigan were the first pits to back down and go back to work (rather like Nottingham in the 80s where I live now, I must stop moving to scab towns). Across the region, Wiganers were branded "Pie Eaters" because they went and ate humble pie. It was a serious insult.
Even when I moved there in the late 80s the pie obsession wasn't *that* big, but obviously commercialisation being what it is, it grew.
Most Wiganers have no idea why they're pie eaters, and I can't decide whether it's genius to reclaim the insult, or comically ignorant that they're calling themselves black legs.
But there you have it.
In my eyes, there's no way commercializing an anti-capitalist insult counts as reclamation.
@@SanFranFan30 yeah but it gives them a cultural identity, and lord knows they need culture there
Wiganers aren't always bright...
In fairness it's also appropriate because they absolutely ruddy love pies.
Nice one.
Even though the concept is a bit naff I have to give Alfredo props for not slacking when it comes to research. He acknowledged that calling lions kings of the jungle is erroneous as lions don’t live in jungles, anywhere in the world. And that canaries are part of the finch family
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
Alfie 5:28: I wonder if they ever explored each other's bodies
As much as I love the documentaries videos and find them to be masterpieces, videos like these are the DNA of this channel, with a lot of research, but also with a funny and original concept, bringing us joy and entertainment, thank you Alfie.
Mascot debauchery, heresy, and global annihilation, this is HITC Seven’s best video by a country mile.
Everton’s mascot is the toffee lady it’s a little girl dressed in a royal blue dress and she throws toffees to the fans it’s been the clubs mascots for as far as many people can remember think it was around the 50s when she was first introduced
AFTV's Ty is Arsenal's real Mascot! 🎧😄🎧
24:00 Did you know West Ham's former mascot Herbie the Hammer (also an anthropomorphic Hammer although more cartoony and less like Iron Man) was designed by Guardian football artist (and Swindon Town fan) David Squires!
His latest cartoon on Zouma is hilarious btw.
David is a legend 🤣
The Arsenal mascot is a dinosaur because that’s the time period when Arsenal were last consistently successful.
Probably because dinosaurs can’t play football so they had no competition
Knew this was gonna be top comment after seeing the thumbnail
🤭😂
Lol 😂 😆 😝
@@Wozzabunnyofficial_37 they’ve improved a bit 🤣🤣
"the bees in Burnley's badge" was a lovely alliteration. So not only laughter and education, HITC Sevens is a place for prose.
Really had me going with Reggie the lion at Chealsea 😂😂😂😂😂😂 ..I was on my way to pausing the video and going to google the 1971 mauling incident! Damn it Alfie!!
Changy the Elephant was such an adorable mascot. 😊
I’ve never even thought about how they might be related but now you’ve said it, I’m curious
I always liked the old Pompey mascot, a blue frog called Frogmore, named because Fratton Park is on Frogmore road.
Hartlepool’s mascot is worth a full standalone video. Great origin story, tonnes of controversial behaviour and a successful mayoral campaign
Is that the monkey one?
My main memory of the Newcastle mascot was the guy playing Monty holding up an "Ashley Out" poster during the first major anti-Ashley protest in a match against Hitc Sevens' faves Hull City shortly after Keegan resigned in 2008. Something that I seem to recall reading didn't go down well with the higher ups
Can't believe you didn't mention when Bertie Bee once outpaced the stewards to tackle a streaker on the pitch.
I saw the caption 'This is the Wycombe mascot not my dad' and have been cry-laughing for the past 5 minutes. Help
This video, definitely makes my HITC SEVENS all time top 5. Absolutely loved it. You're a hero.
Are you planning on doing this for other leagues because I’d love to see a German one or Spanish one as the levante mascot looked interesting
Blau and Grana
We need an hitc mascot now😍
Thank you Alfie for this vital public service
Never thought a picture of my housing development would appear on HITC Sevens…
I'm watching with my brother, and when you said Chelsea used a real lion, I jokingly said that it killed someone, then you said that, and my heart sank 🤣 I'm glad you were joking though, I felt so bad 😅
Shout-out to Bertie Bee suplexing a streaker in a 2002 match (when even security couldn't catch him) and then doing the worm celebration promptly thereafter
The Grimsby Town mascot, Mighty Mariner. Who was an unexpected, suprise guest at my wedding reception, in Hull! Fabulous memories.
Why is the Ground named after the famous battle fought by King Harold in 1066 on/near a river crossing near the city of York?? 🤔
Always love finding out about football teams nicknames and their history and beginnings and this video had me in stitches.
Brilliant video. Love your channel, your efforts are always appreciated mate. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
5:40 is going straight to my S tier of football mascot tier lists. Thank you Alfie
Can you do the same video for the other leagues in the EFL, too? This vid is great and would be a nice mini series!
I like these fun but informative video, love to see more vids covering the rest of the leagues teams mascots
For Everton, you missed out one mascot - Speedo Mick...
Can’t believe everyone forgets the toffe lady
@@mikeydavis5217 Unreal! She is the proper mascot! Others are just commercial puppets!
Brilliant video, had me laughing throughout. I love the occasional not so serious vids that are just a bit of fun.
In terms of the mascot races, the T20 Blast cricket tournament still does it. Last year it was part of their fundraising for the charity that helps current and retired cricketers, the PCA
This is my favourite video of yours. Love it!!!
I love to Crystal Palace one. The way she would fly to goal post before games
Funniest HITC Sevens video to date. Especially crack up at the Everton mascot proposal. LMAO
You can hear the disdain in Alfie’s voice as he’s talking about the City mascots. He’s not a fan of Moonchester or Moonbeam at all 😂
Wolverhampton's original name was Wulfrun Heantun after Lady Wulfruna
Wulfruna mean's Wolf's Secret so the association with the Wolf goes all the way back to the 10th Century AD :)
Highly entertaining & informative. I laughed, I cried, I had a lovely time.
The best HITC video so far, the humour from Alfie in this video has been well executed.
Please do this for the other divisions. This was one of your funniest videos
Brilliant and good to have all the clubs together with history of mascots
Loved this video Alfie. Done with spot on understated humour
This was such an interesting video (I was also laughing the whole time) - great job on this Alfie.
Quality, mate. Loved the Everton bit
I can’t believe he didn’t mention the fact that Stamford and Bridget are a play-on-word of “Stamford Bridge” (thought that’s probably obvious)
The last minute was truly uplifting
The video I needed for my Monday morning. Bloody brilliant indeed. 😄
Enjoyable as always. Good points about predicable names and there aren’t many clever ones. My favourite ever (clever) nickname is from Swansea rugby club. A shark called Feargal.
Great video as always. Thank You 💚💛💚💛
This is the most needed video I didn't think I needed ever
One of your most entertaining non-documentary videos
I don’t think I’ve laughed so much at one of your videos for a long time I do hope most people got all the sarcastic jokes
This is something that I always wondered about and wanted to know. Thanks!
Awesome video Alfie! You should make a video on canada’s highest ever ranking! also the canadian premier league
Mate, you deserve a lot more views. Your videos are ace. Could you a video on the untold story of Australian football or soccer as they call it here. I'm sure there is a good reason why Sturridge moved here and why Fowler previously spent so long here too. I'm sure its not just the weather lol.
love this video, so lighthearted
It's not the video we wanted, nor the video we needed, but we are all glad it's here.
Alfie Can you do a documentary on the afc Wimbledon on the nine promotions in eleven years, how they’re a fan own club and how they have a stadium in plough lane now.
The story of they lost the club, how the F A allowed that and won’t allow that anymore.
How they were very close to moving to ireland
How they went up the English football leagues.
It would be a good documentary video if you can do this. #thepeopleschannel
As a Wimbledon fan, you've kinda done the whole story bar whatever you can find on Wikipedia. Would be great publicity for us, but not sure there's much else to add unless you want to count the Wally Downes saga
I second this
@@Sir-Blaze I don't see why, if HITC Sevens does do a Wimbledon video, where they went right reaching EFL1 whereas MK Dons languished there the entire time Wimbledon rebuilt form the ground up. Unless MK Dons have been so bland there's no point.
Simple, if you don’t have fund, don’t complain if you lost your club.
Welcome to the BUSINESS side of football. You think everything is free? Someone has to pay for it.
this is the content i subbed for
This is definitely your funniest video yet. I’ve been giggling giddy for the last 20mins
Thank you this was really fun
This was awesome and you are lovely 🖤
I’m surprised Bertie Bee rugby tackling a streaker didn’t get a mention
Just to say Alfie, loving the, in your words, "a little bit daft" content mixing in with you thoroughly researched topics. A nice change of pace i'd say!
This was genuinely really funny. Well done.
Well this was a great light hearted listen, excellent job fair play to you, curious about the history of Irish football club mascots now.🍀
Everton sort of do have a mascot. One that predates the whole premier league thing with cheerleaders, fireworks and mascots (and inflatable sumo at half time). The toffee lady. Which is a woman who walks around the edge of the crowd wanging humbugs into the crowd. I'm not sure if she still does. I've sadly not been in a few years.
They tried a RED "Angry Bird" for a minute didn't they? About as popular as Agent Rafa i expect lol....
@@wolfmauler luckily I missed that. They did have angry birds as a sleeve sponsor for a year or two. But there was a blue angry bird, surely you'd use that?
@@DJMavis I know, eh?! lol it was mad!
Excellent video again, Had a suggestion for another video, seeing as Watford seem destined for the drop this season, I never knew until now that Elton John and Graham Taylor helped oversaw them from the 4th to 1st division, basically asking how about Elton John's influence on Watford, thanks
Brilliant video Alfie, havent laughed more on any of your videos as on this one
A true masterpiece
this one was an absolute fever dream, loved it lad
Im a Wimbledon fan, we've got a Womble called Haydon. Not much else to say really 🤣
The video we all needed 🤝😌
Absolutely LMAO at the Watford bit and the whole Moose - Hart situation at 23:44 😂
Nothing about their crest, mascot and nickname makes sense 😅
I remember being so confused when a Watford fan corrected me when I referred to their badge as having moose on it, calling it a hart.
I refuse to believe it, though. It is undeniably a moose and I hope they one day accept it. lol
When I went to Upton Park back in 2013, West Ham had a Bear Mascot called Bubbles. I suppose the very confessional chant the West Ham supporters kept singing prematch probably made that Mascot's position untenable!
Unrelated but that reminds me of when Michael Jackson brought his pet monkey, Bubbles, to... I think Craven Cottage? And the crowd burst into chants of "I'm forever blowing Bubbles"...
Can you do this for other leagues too please? Loved this video.
The comedy in this video is amongst your finest writing
Great to know that Gunnersaurus is still there, I was worried since none of his social media accounts were active, phew!
Hornets are actually just a specific genus of Wasps. So technically they are still wasps... And wasp is just a blanket term for members the suborder Apocrita which aren't Bees or Ants.
Nothing beats the combi boiler that walks around the Hawthorns before matches 😅
The Palace bit was hilarious
"dissappointment is an emotion that is all too familiar to totenham hotspur fans"😂😂😂
Ozil paying the actor in the dinosaur mascot is pure class
Harry the Hornet may be the greatest football mascot of all time....
It's not just Wigan who love pies, most of lancashire does. I work for a company who have offices at Bolton's ground and every day I get an email telling me the pie van is outside. Despite me always having worked from home since I've worked there.
- What a legendary video. Prob my fave one so far! Roy Hodgson looked like a mascot in that one pic you showed - if there's a team out there called the "Sparrows"?! haha
Shoutout to Annan Athletic’s famous Galapanda, although not seen for a while! 🖤💛🐼
And the old Gretna FC’s Rocky the Raydale Rooster 🐔 long since retired… iconic!
Loved this, would be great to see more in a similar vein. Maybe a list of the wierdest/naffest mascots in world football or sports
This may be the greatest video on CZcams.
The ending was mental, even for Alfie
