cannupa hanska luger mascot jordan peele horror film him

Cannupa Hanska Luger collaborated with the filmmakers of the horror film *Him*, directed by Justin Tipping and produced by Jordan Peele, to create a sports mascot named “Tinsel Larry.” The mascot appears in the film as the symbol for the fictional San Antonio Saviors team. Luger worked with lead costume designer Dominique Dawson on the design, which evolved from a “Conquistador Larry” concept into a “razzle-dazzle rose gold glitter monster.” Luger explained on Instagram that the mascot incorporates Indigenous references as a deliberate commentary on the racist history of sports mascots, calling it “an act of reclamation.”
