Altoona Curve mascot nominated for 2025 hall of fame class
ALTOONA, Pa. (WTAJ) — The Altoona Curve's favorite yellow mascot, LOCO, was nominated for the Mascot Hall of Fame's 2025 class. The Mascot Hall of Fame announced 28 candidates that have been recognized for over 10 years for excellence, energy and commitment to their communities. LOCO joins several minor and major league mascots on the ballot including Pirate Parrot. Voting for the 2025 class is open at the Mascot Hall of Fame website and runs through May 24. The inductees will be announced in June. STUDIO 814: Vote for the Altoona Curve's Loco to get into the Mascot Hall of Fame! LOCO, the fellow in yellow, began entertaining fans in 2015 when the Curve's original mascot Steamer was saying farewell. However, the Curve says LOCO's origin story goes back to when the Horseshoe Curve was built. 'Way back in the early 1840s when the construction of the Horseshoe Curve had just begun, engineer J. Edgar Thompson enlisted the help of Golden Locotami. These creatures were native to the Allegheny Mountains, their golden-yellow fur helped them camouflage into the mountains during the fall when they were known to hibernate. They were agile, fast, and loved to eat as seen by their portly bellies,' read a statement by the Altoona Curve on LOCO's origin story. The mascot was previously chosen as a finalist in the 2023 Mascot Hall of Fame class. The Mascot Hall of Fame was founded in 2005 and recognizes all North American sports mascots. On game night, LOCO is joined by other mascot friends such as Al Tuna, Trax and Diesel Dog. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
