Lights Out Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Why couldn't they just have whoever's playing "Stripes" fill in for the regular mascot instead of inventing a whole new one? POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Speaking of mascots the Raptors introduced their new mascot "stripes" because "the raptor" suffered a season ending injury.Edit: btw... they're cousinsMakes sense. Raptors hunted in packs. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajmccall Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Why couldn't they just have whoever's playing "Stripes" fill in for the regular mascot instead of inventing a whole new one?From the little I know about mascot culture, its a very tight-knit community and the performer inside is as essential as the suit they wear. So its (a little) like saying why doesn't Nick Young just put on Kobe's jersey until he gets back. Store 1 Store 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 i guess this shows they probably won't change the colors too much next year creating another mascot that is virtually the exact same as the last one, when you have a redesign in a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Noire Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 If you thought the Pelicans wasn't a scary enough name I'd bet that you'd reconsider if you wound up in a dark alley with that mascot looking at you.That thing is creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way the Raptors rushed and created a new character (which had to be approved by NBA properties) just because the guy in the raptor suit broke his leg. This was planned beforehand.

I guess that's kind of the opposite situation, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C's Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Looks great, beats the hell out of the center court script (another awful NBA trend that needs to go). Just make the baseline script purple you got a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its (a little) like saying why doesn't Nick Young just put on Kobe's jersey until he gets back. As a former mascot, I will say it depends. I have been asked to fill in for other mascots, and know of others who have filled in for different mascots.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

jhans203 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I don't have pictures yet. But, I have to say the Bulls/Knicks color vs. color is beautiful even if it's for Halloween. The black and orange contrast is sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
