I'd never thought I'd see Footix again.

Ohh I didn't think Goleo was Bavarian. :)

Though he's now as obscure as "Rolf" the maskot for the new 5 digit postal codes.
Or Twipsy, the mascot for the Expo 2000 which had its own TV series which I've just now seen the opening titles of.

Why is everyone drawing german character with Lederhosen and Beer? 90 % of germany hates Bavariaaa (Sits in corner and cries)

sry for lack of research. I googled for "german national costume" and they showed up.

i know .. this always shows up XD and a lot of us are very annoyed of this stereotypical picture of germans XD

I know this comment is 5 years later and dunno if you will respond, but how would you draw a German character?
(Looking at this drawing cause the european cup mascot just got revealed btw, lol)
Is there anything iconic aside from Bavarian culture in Germany that would make foreigners recognize it (aside from World War uniforms?)?

erm.. with normal clothes?

Hint: You can draw a german character like that.. But you are instandly branded as an ignorant idiot by nearly all germans. And they will go: He he he. Typical foreign dumbhead

But the artist intentionally gave the soccer mascots clothes distinct for their nation ... normal clothes was not the aim here. That's why I asked you: How would You draw a German character in distinct national clothes that are instantly recognizable?

Also holy moly, quite the strong mean-spirited opinion you have there. I see it as completely harmless when a foreigner draws us with Lederhosen.

Okay, counter question:
How would you draw an austrian and a swiss?

Probably like Goleo in the picture. There's no iconic German national clothing anywhere aside from Bavaria, which is similar to Austrian and Swiss.
The only other way would probably be with suspenders like Von Kaiser in Punchout, cause it references old timey Germans. If you tell a foreigner to describe how a German looks like with typical national clothing and ask to strictly exclude the Alp region there probably is just a big blank in their mind aside from WW1 and 2 uniforms.
That's why I was curious how you'd draw him.

From your answer I suppose you'd dodge it entirely and just go with normal clothes.

Beer and sausage would have been fine btw XD Most of us just hate being shown with these F. Lerhosen XD

The French cockerel is the bestxD France 98 is my favourite World Cup, followed by Germany 2006~ the 2010 and 2014 world cups were so bad though, genuine lack of quality! But I'm glad Germany are the current World Cup winners <3 I hope they win it in Russia too next year!

1990 would be mute screaming as it tries to understand its existence.
