A bull adorned with a patchwork of multi-coloured hexagons called Perry will be the mascot for Birmingham 2022. Based upon the design of 10-year-old Emma Lou, the winner of a national design competition, the mascot owes its origin to Birmingham’s historic links to a market area known as the Bull Ring. He is named after a district in the city called Perry Barr, and his rainbow-coloured hexagons represent the coming together of the Commonwealth. He wears a medal, designed to reference Birmingham’s iconic Jewellery Quarter.
