The Early Reactions For Gritty Are In

The Flyers introduced their new mascot, Gritty, this morning in front of children at the Please Touch Museum. God bless those souls. I heard from someone who works for the team that it was going to be really ugly. It appears so. No idea what’s going on here.

Twitter reactions are after the jump.

Really?????????? https://t.co/fuwMSRRSf8

Apparently good mascot ideas are as elusive as the 2nd Round of the playoffs or quality goaltending

I mean, the orange beard on the new mascot is indeed ridiculously on-brand for this particular Flyers team.

Most adults were gonna hate this mascot regardless of what it was, so I honestly sorta respect that the Flyers just decided to go full nightmare-inducing with the thing.

[interior, Philly Mascot HQ. The Phanatic sits behind his desk]

PHANATIC: You’re my No. 2, Swoop. And, Franklin, you’ve proven your loyalty in such a short time. You all know what to do.

(Swoop & Franklin nod silently)

PHANATIC: We strike tonight. Both of them.

SWOOP: Both? pic.twitter.com/Q1b2cX80zd
