Sport Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 It should be the abominable snowman so that their shoulder patch finally makes sense, but the shape in this picture looks more bear-like.off-topic question here: why is the Rockies mascot a Triceratops?

And from what I recall, had Coors not taken care of the naming rights, the stadium would have (tragically) been called Jurassic Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hathaway Browne Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 ^That'd still be better than Jobing.com Arena (to name a few).As for the mascot, it sort of looks (from that tease image) that they've just given their old mascot a quick hair cut.

I always thought it was a nod to fossils found in Dinosaur National Park (located in the Rockies). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMac12 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I think it's appropriate. St. bernards are stereotyped as big dogs needed for avalanches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EatSleepJeep Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Downgrade from the former mascot.I never would have thought it possible. I'm happy that all the kiddies that get their picture taken with it will have a barrel of brandy at head level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
