Vikings were not only present in the ancient world. They are present today in many team mascots. A mascot for a team is supposed to bring humor, fun, and and spirit to the crowd. A team mascot should also be somewhat intimidating to the opponent. You want to make the offenders afraid of you and what better way to make a startling impression than with a Viking? So many peope believe that the Vikings were barbarians that pillaged villages, and this is very true. That is exactly what the Vikings did. So, if you want your team to scare your opponent before the match even begins, make the Viking your mascot.
