Thursday’s FTB: A plea to NHL teams about their mascots

Hello NHL teams. Let’s chat.

Now, I know it’s an exciting time to be working on mascots, what with the Flyers and Gritty taking the world by storm, heck he even had an interview with Time magazine about being person of the year.

This whole Gritty thing has been a lot of fun, and it’s been great to see someone become popular outside of hockey, but there’s one thing that worries me.

You’re all going to copy it.

It’s started locally in Philadelphia, as the Phillies mascot the Phanatic now has it’s own Twitter account.
