What's big, tough and red all over? The Colts new mascot.

Half Hollow Hills High School West officially retired Johnny Colt, the brown and tattered, donkey-looking costume and upgraded to a flashier, bolder and more fierce-looking stallion. The new mascot literally wears its heart on its sleeve, with a patch that reads the costume is a gift to the school from the Class of 2011.

The new Colt made his official debut at the Jan. 3 home basketball game, with graduate and last year's resident mascot, Nathaniel Kristall inside it. Lucky for him, the new costume features a fan inside of the head, making it much more comfortable to wear.
