mojo1917 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Couple a things...I hope he skates pre zamboni, looks like his fur might shed at some point. It is a scary looking thing, I can't imagine "gritty" doing well in plush sales. Usually I'm not one for over focus grouping a creative endeavor, however, no one said..."hey that thing is kinda scary" at any point in its creation time line ? The best mascot in all of sport is already in town. Why on earth wouldn't the brain trust do a variation on a theme and use the Phanatic ? Pay the Phillies their money, color the fur orange, slap a sweater on him and viola mascot. I don't care for this at all. Whatever it just snorted was Gritty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck_Pun Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 That's the most horrifying face I've ever seen on a mascot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Nightmare fuel. I just can't even. Seeing this guy at a Flyers game might set my PTSD treatments back a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertaflyer Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Still better than the Oilers mascot. No one understands that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IllaZilla Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Be thankful you don't have Nordy, (or Tardy as we used to call it on the old Wild boards)...complete with Mullet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreaseAndAssist Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Nordy sucks...so does Gritty. I hate mascots in pro sports almost as a rule. Sure, they're not really for adults, but am I the only one that thinks Gritty drives around in a van that says 'Free Candy' spray painted on the side?

Philadelphia is blessed with the greatest mascot in all of organized sport, the Phillie Phanatic. No other mascot so accurately depicts the fanbase which it is meant to represent: I suppose this newest abomination may balance that out...
