This kids zipped hoodie is just £19. Available now - all proceeds towards community clubhouse development.

To raise awareness of the Community Clubhouse campaign, we have launched a competition for our junior players to design a new club mascot.

Here's some of the entries so far. Think you can do better?

All age-groups are invited to get involved by entering our competition to:

1 Design a mascot for our campaign - draw your own picture of a panther to be a friend of our official club logo. Maybe it's a fun character or even a girlfriend for our existing panther.

2 Think of a name for your panther - the more creative the better, and tell us why you have chosen the name.

The winning design will also serve as a 'junior' logo for our campaign and could feature on a variety of items associated with the junior section of the club. The competition will be judged by a well-known personality, and featured on our website, along with the winner. Please note: by entering the competition, you also agree to have your photograph taken for publication.

All you have to do is:

• draw your mascot on a piece of A4 paper. Keep it simple and try not to use too much block colour
• write the name of your panther
• explain why you have chosen the name
• include your name, football year, parent/guardian contact details including email address

The new closing date for entries is March 31, so get cracking!

Please hand your entry into your coach or post it to: Logo Competition, 218 Hamilton Drive, Holgate, York YO24 4PH

Our thanks to the City of York Athletic Club for more support for our plans to build a new multi-sport clubhouse and public cafe on the Little Knavesmire. The new facilities will be available for use by all community groups in the area.
