Best Answer

There are several possible ways to interpret this question.

Mascot design may be protected by copyright law, trademark law (as they are marks used in commerce), or both. Baltimore Orioles, LP has registered "Orioles Baltimore" and "Baltimore Orioles," with images, for a vast number of goods and services.

Images of the mascot would be protected by copyright, with rights assigned to the creators unless other arrangements were made. For example, if the Baltimore Orioles hire a photographer to take pictures of the Oriole, it may be a work-made-for-hire, in which case the Orioles would control copyright of the pictures.
