The change in the images of Raposão and Raposinho’s mascots excited some Cruzeiro fans. Former club player Roger Flores also reacted negatively to the new versions of the characters.
“It’s not me,” the former midfielder tweeted in a Cruzeiro post, referring to the episode in which he celebrated a goal with a header from Rabozao, in a classic match against Atlético, in the 2010 Mineiro tournament.
On this occasion, Roger scored Cruzeiro’s first goal on his debut. In celebration, he “stole” the top of Raposão’s costume and placed it on his head. Celeste beat Atlético in that classic 3-1 at Mineirao.

“Inspired by a cartoonist Mangabeira’s drawing in 1945, Raposão has had many physical copies, but today it receives its first major visual makeover, along with Raposinho,” Cruzeiro reports.
Rapuzao’s debut as a Cruzeiro mascot was on March 23, 2003, in a 4-0 win over Tupi, in the Campeonato Mineiro, with three goals from Alex.
Raposão has been developing since 2003
