Funny story behind my third Clink Room submission. I was telling my father in law what these hat submissions were all about, who Brandiose was and the way they’ve pioneered a fun direction in mascoting. Armed with all of this new information he said “Oh, well why don’t you do the Roof Rats?” I had no idea what that was so naturally I required some deeper knowledge. “They’re pigeons!” he told me and I was immediately met with a flood of creativity. Here’s the breakdown, our bird is sporting a too tall pill box style reminiscent of the Pittsburgh Pirates of the 1970s. It goes without mentioning that this one is bookended with the Roof Rats favorite calling card. The white button on top of the cap also echoes this. (Getting shit on ain’t lucky, it’s a crime) So let’s hear it for winged disease the Roof Rats! I can’t wait to wear this in the city as some sort of scarecrow for these guys.
