LogoHound Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I just noticed that the Red Sox have redesigned Wally the Green Monster. Is it just me or did they go out of their way to geek up the mascot?BeforeAfter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Baseball mascots are so bad. I really don't get why nearly all of them are heinous fantasy creatures better off in a Jim Henson cartoon.

kmw_29 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 He wears his shorts like an old man. I'm surprised he's not wearing black socks and sandals. Those shorts sure do hug his junk. Maybe it was designed to distract the Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack76 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Wally was fat before. With the PC police everywhere, and children's obesity a touching subject, I'm completely guessing that this might have something to do with it.But oyi, terrible update.

With the PC police everywhere, and children's obesity a touching subject, I'm completely guessing that this might have something to do with it.But oyi, terrible update.Yep. The Chicago Bulls had one of the best mascots around in Benny the Bull. A few years ago, they changed him, making him a lean, slam dunking piece of . They got rid of the lame second mascot "Da Bull" because the guy who wore the costume got caught selling crack. Da Bull was the high flying one, so I guess the changed Benny to be that. I honestly believe there were frivolous lawsuits to the tune of "Johnny is obese because Benny the Bull is fat and happy, so Johnny thought being fat was good".

See the love handles and guy? Fat.But I agree, child obesity is very touching. Every time I see a little fat boy huffing and puffing down the street, chili dog in hand, it just warms the cockles of my heart. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannymits Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 In my mind, Wally is a ripoff of the Grump (formerly of the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Red Barons)-- itself a strange 1989 lovechild of Oscar the Grouch and the Philly Phanatic's mother. Regardless, the Grump refuses to wear pants. Just hi-top Chuck Taylors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
