Mascot Makeover: We Asked AI to Recreate Some of Michigan’s Most Distinctive High School Mascots
Before I worked at Townsquare Media, I was a sports reporter for 9&10 News in Northern Michigan. It was there that I noticed that the people up north LOVE weird, unique mascots.
With the help of some of my old coworkers, we've come up with a list of some of the most distinctive ones we'd come across. I then put those schools' mascot names into Canva's AI generator with the simple prompt - "Design a high school mascot for the [school name] [mascot]."
Shoutout to Wendy Reed at our sister stations over in West Michigan, for the original idea.
Here's how it went:

Some of these are pretty great, but some of them... well... you'll just have to see for yourself.
