    What is your idea of a REALLY SUCCESSFUL mascot? I’ve never really thought one was significantly better than another. I’m curious what others look for in a mascot….

    I think they should replace Clutch with a psychic. If you ain't down with that, you might as well be a Jazz fan.

    I guess its time for rocketman Elon Musk to be our mascot.

    Clutch is an American Icon and Rockets legend.
    Replacing him is sacrilege and I will gladly slap to sleep anyone who dares say different.

    Just bring back Dancing Barry. Houston is where he got started and where he should retire.

    BRING HIM HOME

    Related: have the old white guy and his younger, dancing black wife lost what made them special?

    Turbo wasn't a mascot, he was a timeout show.

    Clutch is a good mascot, because he does something pretty well - entertains everyone.

    Clutch and Turbo are easily the most recognizable Houston mascots. No change needed

    Actually, you are wrong .... Bears are native to this area but were hunted to extinction in the 1940's.

    There are still breeding populations in Louisiana & far west Texas (trans-Pecos).

    Nutria, pit bulls & chihuahua are invasive.

    Bears and Wolves used to be nearly everywhere in the distant past.

    Bring back a Rockets version of Roughneck. Or did Bud Adams steal that too?
