Let's be honest here. New York has one of the, if not THE, best mascots in the league. I mean, come on. It's a silverback. What could be better than that? He's strong. He's fast. He's downright scary. And once you get to know his back story you'll understand exactly why he is the way that he is.

Sam the Silverback loved his old life. He would spend all day in the jungle soaking up the sun, playing with the other gorillas, and generally doing all the things a giant ape does. That all changed, however, on one fateful day. Sam was out and about doing his thing when all of a sudden he was hit in the neck with a tranquilizer. When he awoke he found himself tied to a chair being forced to watch The Big Bang Theory over and over. And over. At first this made Sam sad. But then Sam got angry. Sam got so angry that he broke out of his prison only to find himself on the streets of New York City. Lost, confused, and more than a little pissed, Sam eventually found his way to the football stadium. He saw the crowd. The spectacle. The violence. He loved it. From that day forward Sam the Silverback never left the stadium. He refused. Fearing upsetting the behemoth the team instead chose to let him be. Sam never found out who kidnapped him, but eventually he stopped caring. He was happy where he was.

And that is the story of Sam the Silverback, the greatest mascot in the ISFL. Would you tell him otherwise?

First of all, I would like to begin this essay by saying that our next holiday season should have holiday themed mascots for the prospect bowl. That would be kinda cute NOT GONNA LIE TO YOU. Ahem… anyways..so about the San Jose mascot.. There are a number of reasons why the Sabercat is by far and away the best mascot in the league. The biggest and best reason that no human being can argue with is the fact that it is a cat. Cats are noble and regal creatures that have been worshipped throughout history, and if the internet is any indication, they still are. I own two cats and I’ve thought about renaming them to “Saber” and “Cat” out of the respect and adoration I have towards the San Jose Sabercats mascot! Another reason our mascot is amazing is the fact that we can derp it all out on everyone we beat. You cannot convince me that seeing derpcat go meow meow hasn’t angered you at least once in your career and I thrive on it. Last but not least, green is my favorite color, and gold isn’t too shabby as well. GREEN ON GREEN ON GOLD as they say. I’m not sure who says it but they do. None of these other mascots can style on us.. What the heck is a parade gonna do too a derpcat? Absolutely nothing. CATS STAY CATS!

The Baltimore Hawks have a number of mascots really. 

We have the guy in the big feathery suit that runs up and down the sidelines during games and makes a bunch of community scented and hospital visits alongside the cheerleaders. This is our classic mascot and he has gone under a bit of a rebranding exercise of late to beef him up, they just guy just looked a but... tubby... as well as add to the dynamic impression that he gives on match days. The most important feather (feature) of this newly relaunched mascot is the flag standard he carries and waves, mascots are best with props and what prop is simpler or better than a long flagpole with a hawk head waving from it. 

But lately we have adopted a second, far more significant mascot. The Baltimore Hawks have officially adopted the Mars rover as their mascot and will be sporting special NASA patches during color rush games this season in order to show their support for everyones favourite drone. We have genuine footage from the rover's selfie cam of the little guy unfurling the hawkhead flag from a little access port from his telescopic rare antee. As it was broadcast over the screen during a game earlier in the season, it brought the stadium to a complete stand still and stiring of American pride.

As the team name implies, the Kansas City Coyotes' mascot is a Coyote. For the mascots name, when the team was founded in Kansas City, the owner was insistent on getting fan approval and fan involvement. Thus, the team owner put the naming completely up to the fans. Quite a few unique and original (and unoriginal) names were submitted but after some preliminary voting on the teams website, the 2 names, Coy Ote and Howler were the two finalists up for voting. Howler was the more conventional but rather "normal" mascot name. On the other hand, Coy Ote, is a very unique but unconventional name. Many arguments stemmed from which name was better so the final vote was an extremely close one. With a total of 4 million votes, Coy Ote won by a mere 2 thousand votes. Other than the name being very unique, Coy Ote also partakes in some very unique game time rituals to get the fans riled up. The fan favorite is the 3rd down howl. Each time the opposing team has a 3rd down situation, Coy Ote jumps into the stands and alongside the fans howls to distract the opposing team. It has been quite effective as opposing teams' 3rd down conversion rates go down a considerable amount when they play in KCC.

“The Last Cowboy” is what the Arizona Outlaws famous mascot is named, formerly in commercials known as the Marlboro Man, has been a staple in Arizona culture for the past 25 years. The Last Cowboy was there for the teams first threepeat* and has been played by the Marlboro man ever since then. The Last Cowboy has been a great influence on the Arizona community as a whole, participating in make a wish foundation as well as a part of many fundraisers to raise money for charities such as the breast cancer awareness foundation as well as the heck (but replace that word) cancer fund. The Last Cowboy has been an integral part of the Outlaws culture over the past 28 years and I don’t see him falling out of favor with the organization. I know that The Last Cowboy is a good man from personal experience, when I first arrived in Arizona I was having problems finding my way around the training facility, The Last Cowboy PERSONALLY took me around and showed me every nook and cranny around the Arizona facilities and showed me the ropes. The Last Cowboy is arguably the best mascot in the entire ISFL, the only other one I think could give him a run for his money would be the masked man in Tijuana, but that’s a mascot for another PT.

The main thing that makes the Colorado Yeti so unique compared to the rest of the league is that it’s so dang blurry. Much like the real Yeti, there are constantly questions being posed online asking “why is every picture of bigfoot so blurry?” as if that disproves their existence or proves that the footage is doctored. The true answer is simply that the Yeti, and by extension the Colorado Yeti mascot, are simply blurry entities. They transcend this reality in ways that our minds just can’t fathom, much like a four dimensional object. This is further evidenced by the Colorado Yeti logo. While every other team in the league features the actual animal, person, or concept the team represents, the Colorado Yeti logo only contains a black figure of a Yeti, an ominous reminder of the coming of an entity greater than ourselves. While other teams mascots generally serve to entertain the crowd alongside the cheerleaders, the Yeti mascot serves to strike fear into the hearts of our opponents. Truly the Yeti is a force to be reckoned with, and is completely unlike anything else this league has to offer, in both form and substance. Lastly he also has an otherworldly affinity for teriyaki sticks that cannot be matched.

My teams mascot is coyote and it fits our team well as we are fucking loud and yell alot. It's beautiful really and very fitting I'm very glas this is our mascot. When it comes to noise the coyote is basically undefeted and cannot be touched by other modern mammals. If you could see our discord you would catch many howls we also do it after big plays. Coyotes also hold a big bit and are vicious competitors if you ever saw 5 coyotes fighting over beef jerky you would see what few have a very ferocious gathering in which only the strong survive. I'm glad I'm here other teams just do not have the tenacity that we have in kansas city so many Ayers on this roster just are so linked to our mascot I could not see us having any other mascot. If we changed I think I would leave or want to as this mascot cannot be touched ever by anyone save for maybe the planet venus. Planets are pretty tough also but I still prefer our coyote over anything as no one else is as cool as us or our coyote. Isfl be prepared for this squad were comin hot n heavy this year
