Phillie Phanatic Debuts New Look Following Ongoing Legal Dispute With Mascot’s Creators

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The beloved Phillie Phanatic debuted a new look on Sunday as the Phillies hosted the Pittsburgh Pirates in a spring training game. The Phanatic showed off a few subtle changes including smaller and different shaped snout during his spring training debut.

The team also tweeted out a video of the new “evolved” mascot.

The mascot now has a blue tail as well as a new pair of red shoes and blue socks. Some other features of the mascot’s new look are a lighter blue color around the eyes and a wing-like trim under the arms.
