Talk:Yaquis de Obregón

names of mascot(s)?

edit

Article doesn't mention a mascot.

  • Team website at 2014 (November) post says "la mascota de los Yaquis de Obregón, el Tigre Chacho." (Google translates to "the mascot of the Yaquis de Obregón, the Chacho Tiger.")
  • team site at 2016 (September) post says "Al final, vino la mascota de los Yaquis de Obregón, el Tigre Chacho," (Google translate to "In the end, the mascot of the Yaquis de Obregón came, the Tigre Chacho,")
  • Team site at a 2022 (August) post (mascot included in photo) says "mascota Yaco el Puma" (but doesn't seem to say what Yaco is a mascot for)
  • visitobregon.com (with photo of mascot) says mascot named "Chacho the Tiger" (including since team site doesn't seem to have photo of Chacho)

At this point I was thinking maybe Yaco the Puma is mascot of another group, but in Yaquis's online shop has https://www.elsiglodeportes.com/accesorios-yaquis which includes plush toy "Peluche YACO" (Spanish version of stuffed toy is "Peluche" at Spanish Wikipedia). Since don't see Chacho in teams's online shop (and website's latest Chacho post from 2016), guess they may have switched to Yaco some year after 2016.
