Jaxson de Ville
mascot of the jacksonville jaguars
Jaxson de Ville is the mascot of the Jacksonville Jaguars, a National Football League (NFL) football franchise. His name is spelled "Jaxson" because Jacksonville, Florida, is often shortened to "Jax." He is an anthropomorphic jaguar and is yellow with teal patches. He wears sunglasses, a Jaguars jersey, long shorts, and black and teal sneakers. The back of his jersey reads "Jaxson" with his number, 00, and the front has a paw print. On certain occasions he wears other outfits, such as a large military field uniform when he was brought onto the field in a military jeep.
Controversies
Jaxson has become disruptive during games on multiple occasions, and in 1998 this behavior stemmed the changing of the NFL's mascot rules. After the October 22, 2007 game against Indianapolis, Colts President Bill Polian complained to the NFL about another occasion of disruptive behavior, and Jaxson was reprimanded. During the November 18, 2007 home game Jaxson spent a good portion of the game in a makeshift "cage", but was released for short periods of time so he could interact with fans and also to give him an opportunity to ride his scooter.
Another controversy arose during an online NFL mascot competition, where Raiders fans and Jaguars fans were to vote for their mascots. During the process, a loophole was found allowing individual users to vote tens of thousands of times, enabling the Jags and Raiders to get well over 1 million votes, disqualifying both mascots from the competition.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Jaxson de Ville” as mascot of the jacksonville jaguars. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as mascot of the jacksonville jaguars. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6166272. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1998 and 2007.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
