In professional sports, teams are usually represented by a mascot that carries out various roles. These mascots are there for entertainment, performances and cheering up the crowd. Some mascots are usually mischievous and Chuck the Condor is no less.

Chuck the Condor is mascot of the LA Clippers of the NBA. He is known for his unique comedy, fan entertainment and his habit of moving around the LA streets, representing the Clippers. Before Chuck the Condor was introduced, the Clippers were represented by Sam Dunk. Dunk was a mascot introduced in 1985, and was a connotation of the Muppet show. However, the success of Sam Dunk as a mascot is debatable as he was never really introduced as an official rep of the team.

The mascot was designed by the Clippers organisation’s then vice-president of marketing. It is a blue and red condor who is six feet tall. He made his debut in October 2016, but was officially introduced as team mascot in 2017.

Chuck the Condor is inspired after the California Condor, which is the largest bird in North America. He wears the number #213 and loves peanut butter and spam sandwiches. He loves to be the centre of attention and his hobbies include tumbling, dancing, and dunking. The Los Angeles Clippers have never had an official mascot repping the team before Chuck the Condor.

Character Translations, a mascot design company, is behind. The idea behind the creation of Chuck was to make a fun and whimsical character. The Los Angeles Clippers' mascot is one of the newest additions to the league. All mascots are a core part of the sports industry and provide recognition for the team they represent.
