fyi

Olympic porkers (this one is slightly humorous)
Olympic pigs (this one is eye-catching as it's unusual to think of pigs as having anything to do with Olympics)

Hi:

I really don't think "designated" is ok at all; Please look it up in your dictionary.

这个容易让人误以为这种猪是奥运会吉祥物。

designate一般是“指定”的猪。

designated pigs  指定给奥运会的猪  

我个人感觉听上去很别扭

不如说“奥运会猪”更好玩

个人观点，仅供参考

此时本来就滑稽，翻译的滑稽点才能算是相得益彰啊
