Design our new mascot and give Sid the Shark a friend!

After many years of dedicated solo service to Sussex, we’ve decided that our loyal mascot, Sid the Shark needs some company.

For the past few weeks, primary school children from across the county have been designing a female friend to accompany Sid on match days at The 1st Central County Ground (and try to keep him under control!).

The best design will be brought to life as Sussex Sharks’ brand-new mascot at all home Royal London One-Day Cup and Vitality Blast matches.

The winner will also receive four tickets to Sussex Sharks’ first home Vitality Blast match of the season on Friday 13th July where they will be invited onto the pitch to meet the new Sussex Sharks female mascot.

Anyone is welcome to enter: just download the PDF below, draw your mascot and scan and send your entry to foundation@sussexcricket.co.uk. Entries close at the end of Friday 27th April.

For some inspiration, here are a few of the best entries we’ve received so far!
