Trix and Flix
It is appropriate to introduce the mascots representing the UEFA Euro 2008 tournament due to start in a week’s time. The twins Trix and Flix had their names selected by an Internet vote and are attired in red and white kit to represent the host countries Austria and Switzerland.
The numbers 20 and 08 on their jerseys spell out the year in which the championship takes place. The twins are supposed to represent the values and characteristics of a true team: one is serious and self-controlled, the other more rebellious and creative.
Not content with playing with a 32-panelled orb, the twins have found time to record the official hymn of the tournament with no one other than Shaggy.
Like a superstar is an electro-funk track featuring the unmistakable Jamaican accent of the reggae artist. Watch it on YouTube.
Trix and Flix are probably doing backing vocals, thinking It wasn’t me…
