Ark Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Gritty is certified awesome. Usually no one cares when a team introduces a new mascot, but the hockey world can't stop talking about Gritty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually no one cares when a team introduces a new mascot, but the hockey world can't stop talking about Gritty. I can't help but wonder if Gritty might mark a turning point in team mascots. While mascots, in theory, exist in order to appeal to children, the reality is that they always seem to walk the line between cute and terrifying. The response to Gritty seems to suggest that embracing the terror, and playing up the psychotic muppet aspects of mascots generates far more buzz than trying to play it safe and appeal to kids. Come to think of it, the Bruins arguably started exploring this idea with their Hockey Rules series of commercials from a few years back. Gritty just represents an evolution of the concept into an on-ice mascot. So the question is...where do we go from here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is no small degree of circle-jerkery taking place on the platforms you've mentioned, but they're also far more connected to the mainstream than they were just a few short years ago. The fact that I've seen Gritty discussed on digg suggests that he's not only transcended the hockey community, but the sports community as a whole.

I'd bet Carolina Hurricanes and their Hartford Whalers retro, but it isn't a jersey that might blow me away, so my second bet is one of the Stadium Series uniform.

Might be too, but TBL doesn't match with "Special Uniform" at least for me. It's an alternate jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
