Go Vikings! Go.... Raiders? Go.... hairy guys with funny hats?

You were confused why Vandals was -1 on that criteria. This is why. You get a bonus point if everyone knows what your mascot is just by looking at it, without being told. You get a minus point if it is very, very unlikely that someone would be able to tell what your mascot is without being told.
