King Bell

For a seaside resort-based team that has already selected an ocean-oriented motif for its team name and color scheme, you cant go wrong by selecting a cartoon version of the Greek god of the sea as your mascot. Only the name -- "King Bell" -- comes off sounding a bit incongruous. Presumably, the team wanted to follow the example of other J.League teams and select something based on the name "Bellmare".

Despite the trend at so many other clubs, there has never been any indication that the team might create a "Queen Belle", or even a royal consort for that matter. I guess that is what happens if you don't win enough matches to impress the ladies.
