Join brothers, Justin and Branden, as we take a journey through the history of the everyday. We want to know how we got here as a society, and how the world around us has been spaped. Who is responsible for the world we live in, and why? We explorer a wide range of topics, and continue to learn and grow with every episode. We are both extremely curious and we hope you are as well.
Welcome everyone to our show!
This week we are talking about the history of Mascots! This history is tough to pin down as the definition of 'mascots' has morphed and changed over time.
Starting in early Provencal, or Occitan, history it was a term used for a witch. Later changing to a being, or item, that could change your fortune; a good luck charm.
It was not until the comic Operetta "La Mascotte" hit the stages of France in 1881 that the word full entered the lexicon of French and English speakers.
That Opera also, allowed Macotte's to be humans, and not just tickets or animals.
As the word, and idea, made its way to America it began to morph again. Especially superstitious baseball Players took hold of this word and would find other humans, usually children, to be their mascots and bring them luck. Honestly, the history is pretty sad here.
If you would like to know more listen in and find out this weird and fascinating history.
