ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted September 24, 2018 HAHA they chose a chucky cheese robot and named it GRITTY lmao Oh damn they have a backstory for the monstrosity too lol Quote His father was a “bully,” so naturally he has some of those tendencies – talented but feisty, a fierce competitor, known for his agility given his size. He’s loyal but mischievous; the ultimate Flyers fan who loves the orange and black, but is unwelcoming to anyone who opposes his team. Legend has it he earned the name “Gritty” for possessing an attitude so similar to the team he follows. He claims that he’s been around for a lot longer than we know it, and recent construction at the Wells Fargo Center disturbed his secret hideout forcing him to show his face publicly for the first time. He has some oddities that are both humorous and strange. A number of times he’s been caught eating snow straight from the Zamboni machine, and unbeknown to most, his love of hot dogs has been inflating the Flyers Dollar Dog Night consumption totals for years. That being said, there’s no denying that he’s one of our own. THANK. YOU. SO. MUCH.

Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Is he called that because the Flyers are "gritty"? If so, then our mascot could be a soft serve ice cream cone called "Softy"!

GMRwings1983 8,793 Report post Posted September 25, 2018 Most mascots in sports are stupid looking. It also seems that most of them are some creature that has nothing to do with the team's name or logo. Very bizarre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jersey Wing 1,521 Report post Posted September 25, 2018 It's a shame the Flyers didn't give credit where credit is due on Twitter to the 5th grader from the Philly Public Schools who drew it up. That's not true but it's so bad you thought it was created by a fifth grader didn't you? 1 ChristopherReevesLegs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
