(S1) - Weekend PT #2 - Mascot - ErMurazor - 06-17-2017
Let's face the facts. The Outlaws are the bad guys in the league. From day one they've been stirring the shit with other teams, trash talking other, crapping on officials, and taking down league officials one by one.
The Outlaws' mascot is an outlaw they call Billy the Kid. Billy typically wears a black cowboy outfit, like you'd find on the villain in a typically western film. The black pants and shirt/jacket are must. Billy occasionally wears a vest, in one of four colors: black, red, grey, or white (uncommon). He also always wears a bandanna over his face in one of the same four colors. Perhaps his two most infamous pieces of accessories are his beaver pelt and "prop" gun, but those will be covered later.
Billy the kid is known for one activity. Breaking the rules. His go-to move is to insult and sometimes flat-out attack opposing fans. He has been highly criticized for dragging fans onto the field and beating the crap out of them on television.
In the NSFL's short life Billy has had two moments that will go down in infamy. The first event was following the Outlaw's dismantling of their rival Orange County Otters. Billy's "prop" gun was not loaded with blanks, and he shot, killed, and skinned the Otter's Otter mascot, Grapes. Amidst the tears of children, Billy slung the pelt over his shoulder and fled the field. For his actions in game 1, Billy was suspended from game 2.
The Otters are in the process of replacing their beloved "Grapes."
It was during game 2 where Sabercats star receiver Bailey Cook scored his first touchdown, that Billy's second moment of fame occurred. As Cook, a receiver known for being emotional at times, fell to his knees to celebrate his first touchdown Billy came storming from the stands with a metal trash can held high above his head. Billy snagged Cook's first NSFL TD ball and slammed the crash can down on him. Cook who is known to be claustrophobic was eventually "rescued" from the trash can teary eyed, nearly disappeared after the event. He had two more catches for 36 yards, and the rest of his targets were an interception, 3 drops, a tripping penalty, and several incompletions. For the incident, Billy was suspended for weeks 3 and 4 of the season.
Billy has been very active in disrupting other celebrations of opposing players. Typically, on an Outlaws score he fires his pistols (blanks) into the air and throws beers into the crowd.
He is beloved by Outlaws' players and fans alike, and literally hated by the rest of the league.

Warin the Wraith is the Yellowknife Wraiths mascot, he looks slightly like a murdered Youppi, dragged away from the Expos to haunt Canadian professional sports teams until he is subdued. Yellowknife purchased the rights to Youppi for a measly 200 million and then proceeded to have the costume be damaged upon shipment. Rather than pay the 200 dollars to get it fixed, they rolled with it having, by far, the scariest mascot in the league. Warin tends to steal opposing teams' fans beverages and food and pretend like it's acceptable while handing it to Wraiths fans. It's been quite the draw amongst the Wraith faithful.

Colorado is the home of many sports teams, but their not exactly known for their stellar mascots. With the existence of the Yeti, this will come to change drastically. Last Friday the team unveiled their new mascot, Yannick the Yeti. Aptly named after the team, Yannick can commonly be seen around the stands taking pictures with young fans or crushing pop cans under his massive feet.
The best way to describe Yannick himself is comedic. Rather than following suit with the maroon and white colors of the Yeti, the costume designers payed homage to the team's roots as the Denver Grizzlies and instead took a more childish orange and blue approach. Many of the families and younger fans seem to love this decision, and it will be something that sets the legacy of the team for the future.

The otters mascot is simple, elegant, and has meaning to all Otters players, coaches, and superstars: A giant football with legs. The metaphor of the football is of course immediately relevant. The Otters dominate the game of football. The Otters defense has been dominate. The Otters Offense has been dominant.
The animated football at Otters games engages in races across the one hundred yard field against the other mascot in a race which has agreed with the final score of the actual football game fifty percent of the time, every time. (the animated football's current one hundred yard record is 3-1, just like the dominant Otters)
Surprisingly, the Otters did not got for the anatomic giant walking and talking Otter, as the team leadership counted it as too similar to a giant beaver, something the Otters leadership has carefully avoided being referred to, beyond after a sober and scorn team tries to recover their leadership after another crushing defeat at the hands of the hard driving Otters of Orange County.
While some may call the Otters Mascot bland and unimaginative, they might have a point. The Otters typically allow up to three points, as their defense stomps all around the field and the offense gracefully avoids further Quarterback controversies.

First off the otters mascot is named Oliver. It was decided on several times after several meetings and votes!! He is a brown otter with a can do attitude. He wants you to attend our games. Sale prices are nice and low for everyone. We are not struggling financially. Feel free to barter... But enough about our awesome low prices, here's some info about our mascot. He does a lot of community service as dictated by court order. Goes to schools in the area and picks up trash along the highway. When he isn't doing awesome things for the community he spends his time in solitude in an 8x8 room. He uses his time to reflect on his past. He isn't allowed off the field to interact with any fans without an armed guards, I'm not sure why.
Ever since we have named Oliver as our mascot we have received so many pieces of fan mail. I've never seen so many people outside the stadium... Not even on game day! The have so many signs it's great for the while family. I hope all of our future endeavors are as successful as this one. Hopefully our ticket sales will go back up as well. Not really sure why that's down. Go Otters!!

You know, it's kind of a funny story. When the Outlaws were considering a new mascot, the GM was really gung-ho about 'thinking outside the box' and 'doing something different'. Lord only knows what he meant - and many regrets were had along the way.
Somehow, some way, they paid a discredited and slightly insane scientist to reanimate the corpse of Billy the Kid to be the mascot.
The reanimation process was as simple as you'd think and cost - oh - about a billion dollars. "Worth it" was the only comment the GM had.
So, the Outlaws run on to the field each week with the actual, though not really, Billy the Kid leading the way.
Fans are explicitly instructed to avoid any and all contact with the 6'1, 200 pound gunslinger. He managed to find REAL guns that are holstered at his hips in traditional attire. Complete with the boots and bandana of the original outlaw, Billy is a sight to be seen, not touched.

The mascot for the Yellowknife Wraiths is actually considered a collectors item by many big time movie buffs. Somehow the team managed to get ahold of the actual costume worn in the Scream movies by the murderous character in his famous white mask. The team has rebranded it slightly, so instead of wielding a knife and murdering people, the mascot instead wields T-shirt guns, footballs, and rally towels he gives to the fans. The mascot has received plenty of positive and negative attention since it's unveiling but one thing is for sure, it has been noticed. Many of the original cast and crew from the first Scream movie have been seen on the sidelines and in the crowd of Yellowknife games, taking pictures and waving at their old costume. Most mascots dont talk, but the Wraiths mascot has been known on occasion to dial the phone linking the players bench to the coordinators booth and when they pick up he speaks in the cryptic voice that he was known for in the movie. Telling the player to do better, or telling a coordinator to give the ball to somebody. Although the origin of the costume was a horror movie, it seems now that it has turned into a fun prankster of sorts that the fans are gravitating to.

This is Yogi the Yeti. He is the mascot of the Colorado Yeti. He’s a bit unprofessional at times. For example, we’re about 90% sure that he just bought a Rudolph Yeti costume but he swears that he sewed it himself. I guess this is what we get when we signed a homeless guy off the street to be our mascot. On the bright side, he’s great as a mascot. He has his own personal dance move he invented, called the Yeti Boogie. It’s almost like a cross between a moonwalk and a waltz. It’s hard to explain without seeing it. He’s also great with the kids. Every game at halftime, five kids from the crowd come down and get to chase Yogi. The first one to tackle him gets a free Colorado Yeti t-shirt. Although some parents have complained that Yogi is a little rough with the kids. However, in his defense, he pays all medical bills of the injuries he causes. Yogi is a little rough around the edges but it is hard to argue that he is not the best mascot in the NSFL. If anybody wants to have that argument, Yogi would be happy to oblige. Just make sure you have him go through a metal detector first.

(06-17-2017, 11:12 PM)HENDRIX Wrote:Baltimore's mascot is Jacque the big cock Hawk. He is three pounds of hate with razor blades for talons. Before every home game his handler walks to the middle of the field to release Jacque for his routine. His routine consists of making two laps around the stadium while Du Hast blares out the speakers. The already rowdy crowd gets even more pumped up. The climax of the pre game ritual is when Jacque dive bombs the opposing team's sideline and lets out a sharp battle cry. It scares the other team shitless every time. He then circles back and lands on his handler's arm and fireworks are shot off signaling an imminent kickoff.
While all of Hendrix entry is true, the best and most attention grabbing part of the Hawk routine was that Jac had a habit of finishing each dive bomb screech with a huge bombardment of perigrine hawk shit . In preseason he was deadly accurate hitting the headcoach of Orange County and the Oline coach of Arizona. So after complaints by the opposing teams the league has suggested that he be retired/replaced.
Baltimore front office brought in "New Jac" , he does circle the field and buzz the opposing sideline but, sadly the screech is now a recording played from the Stadiums speakers and "New Jac" lands on an opponents helmet and shits. Cue the fireworks.... Hey, Mascoting is a fickle business.

Written: Tell us about your teams mascot. How was he created and what does he look like? Does he have any special interactions with the fans or players?
Well The hawks Mascot is a bird, a big bird! not yellow or 6'8 scaring the hell out of kids but more like a red tail hawk. Well The mascot and me go drinking pre and post game and pre and post practice.
