BrianVlietDesign Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I actually quite like it! The name's kinda mental, but hey what do you want? We're the Squirrels. Let's go Nuts! NYCFC - MLS CUP CHAMPIONS - 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleujayone Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I guess it would have been too obvious if they named him Rocky (or even Rocket J. Squirrel). We all have our little faults. Mine's in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJworks Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Haha that's too funny. I can't imagine what the guy in the costume was thinking."I'm dressed up in a squirrel costume, and his name is Nutz. Where did I go wrong."

rams80 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Gotta love the reaction of the ball players.They should have talked to the "Over the Hedge" writers about licensing Hammy.

soccerfan312 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I really don't know if I can go watch this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I really don't know if I can go watch this team.+1 This must be one of the strangest minor league baseball presentations of a mascot. Culminated with the lack of creativity for the mascot nickname as well as having about 100 kids signing a modified "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" song? This is very disturbing.

Brian in Boston Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 ... the reply I saw on Facebook have been comparing his name to Nazi, some people have WAY too much free time on their hands I must admit, if you crop the Flying Squirrels' primary logo so it only shows Nutzy's outstretched right hand and head, I can picture him squeaking, "Sieg Heil!"
