Meet Jake

Jake is the unofficial official mascot of Corvette Racing,” said Jake’s creator, Eddie Jabbour of Kick Design. “He really came from the team. I was at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2004 and noticed that the team had adopted skull icons as a symbol of the ‘take-no-prisoners’ mentality of those intense 24 hours. In fact, someone had scrawled ‘TAKE NO PRISONERS’ on the wall of the Corvette garage. I thought it would be awesome if there was an icon that truly belonged to Corvette Racing. I scribbled the Corvette flag on a cocktail napkin, then drew a skull around it. I thought the design worked, and the team embraced it immediately.”

 

The following year, Corvette Racing added its first Jake graphics to the C6.R Corvette’s B-pillars for the 2005 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It didn’t take long for fans to identify with “Jake.” Within the same year, the mascot quickly began appearing on Corvette Racing merchandise and apparel.

 

“Soon he was on the team uniforms, their travel shirts, and on the drivers’ helmets,” Jabbour said of Jake’s adoption in 2005. “It was in sync with what they were about, and the fans recognized that.”
