Any Leicester Tigers fans out there? Here’s the new official character mascot for Leicester Tigers - the English rugby union team based in Leicester called Stealth.
Welford has been the official Leicester Tigers mascot for some time, but until recently he has been alone in entertaining the crowds. He can usually be seen on the pitch and in and around the Welford Road ground, meeting the fans and interacting with the kids. But now however he is joined by his friend Stealth the white tiger.
He appears in many forms of promotional and marketing material both online and in print. You can see him in several places around the ground, on matchday promotional and fun (JTC - Junior Tigers Club) items and across the Tigers external marketing range.
Below you can see Stealth in his four illustrated poses as well as some early sketches of the character before he was created in his final glorious full colour vector artwork. you can also see a few promo bits as appearing on the Leicester Tigers Facebook page.
I've also worked a great deal with the Tigers Family (#Tigersfamily) cartoon strip in the past. Check out more of my work with Leicester Tigers here.
