I'm honestly not sure if that is better or worse than Edmonton's monstrosity. It's probably going to scare kids though, which makes it perfect for Philadelphia, but awful for a mascot.

"Gritty"? Their mascot's name is "Gritty? This has to be a joke.

Chances are, by mid season, it's going to be Brian Elliot wearing the suit

I dont know either, its just.....well, its there.

Who comes up with these things anyways? Is developing Mascots a job that real people have? It just seems most of them are half-assed harebrained ideas.

Like:

"Yeah....that'll do!"
