Default Adirondack Flames Mascot

Yes - I know, but this deserves it own thread on Fire On Ice.



Scorch is apparently the surviving flame from the Great Fire of 1864 in Glens Falls.

This is being discussed on the Back Burner Adirondack thread as well.

I think both the mascot and the team name is offensive to the memory of the victims of all of the "Great Fires" of the 19th Century.

But seriously, who the hell would wear that????

I think they should have done a 'pup' version of Harvey.

The design looks like they took a 6 year olds drawing of a fire and turned it into an outfit...

Adirondack Flames ‏@AHLFlames 20m20 minutes ago
Scorch. Has. ARRIVED!

Chris Boese ‏@chrisboese11 17m17 minutes ago
@AHLFlames oh dear. Back to the drawing board..

Adirondack Flames ‏@AHLFlames 8m8 minutes ago
Afraid of the fire eh? RT @chrisboese11 @AHLFlames oh dear. Back to the drawing board..

Yeesh...

Also why is the first photo next to what appears to be a dead firefighter who's been burned to death. Unless I'm really missing something, that seems super inappropriate...

Inappropriate, yes. But not nearly as ridiculous as having the whole firefighter thing with the big club.
