La Salle University has a famous trio of basketball fans known as the Glitter Bros who - you guessed it - cover themselves in glitter for the big game!

If you thought some of the previous mascots we've shared were strange, just take a look at the University of Santa Cruz Banana Slugs. There's no doubt that the opposing team's mascot will take one look at the menacing banana slug and run for cover!
