Mascot derby
Mascots have become an integral part of the matchday experience in modern football

#1 Hammerhead – West Ham United

Hammerhead came into being in 2011

The East London club’s newest mascot supposedly came to life after a lightning struck one of the stadium's Ironworks. The semi-robotic mascot was introduced to the Hammers fans back in 2011 and has been a popular attraction to the club’s match day program.

Hammerhead is often seen dancing to music, cheering the crowd and clicking pictures with kids at West Ham’s home ground. While some fans didn’t quite take Hammerhead to their hearts most of the fans were delighted to welcome the part hammer, part robotic mascot. Looking at their position on the Premier League table this season, West Ham can really use some support from their lucky mascot.
