History
Udo the Red Panda officially debuted at the 2011 WHU Euromasters, when Mannheim beat LMU during the championships. Since then, the mascot has been a favorite for Mannheim's athletics fans. As the Mannheim athletics teams do not have a logo on their helmets or uniforms, Udo's likeness appears on team merchandise.[1][2]
The Mannheim sports teams chose the red panda for their mascot to raise awareness about the endangerment of the species. In addition, the red panda is a popular animal at the Heidelberg Zoo.[3]
