rebelx Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 There are only four such teams; here are some possibilities for them:Flyers: Interestingly enough, the Flyers had that weird mascot back in the '70's, Slapshot. I'm not even sure what he was supposed to be. One of two possibilities would seem to work for Philadelphia now. For one, you could go with this guy...He was apparently designed by a Flyers fan a few years ago and named Phil the Flyer, and I'd say he's a pretty cleverly-designed mascot. Alternately, maybe bring back Thrash, who was an exceptionally cool-looking mascot who was unfortunately forced into retirement when his team packed up and left Atlanta. His species does have breeding grounds in Pennsylvania, among other states, and he is, after all, a flyer .Rangers: Not quite sure what you do for this team. Maybe you could have a guy named Tex (the name is a reference to their founder and original owner, Tex Rickard) wearing some red, white, and blue rodeo cowboy-type getup. This does seem kind of cheesy, though. Wonder if someone else might have a better idea.Stars: I think if they had some bull mascot, like the Texans' Toro or their old "mooterus" logo, they'd be good to go. He could be named StarSteer or something like that.Oilers: How about a guy that sort of resembles the rig worker from that old alternate logo of theirs? Maybe call him Ed .

BadSeed84 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 This is ridiculous you could've just made one thread listing all of these.Also the flyers should never have a mascot imo. Even tho Broad Street Billie could be his name lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaytonBlue Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm pretty sure that Flyer mascot is just the mascot of my alma mater, the Dayton Flyers, Rudy.

rebelx Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 You know, while we're on the subject, I think the Avs really need to bring back Howler the Yeti. Sure, they can keep Bernie, but bring back Howler to work with him. From everything I know, he was well-loved by the fans, and I don't think the fact that his performer got in some fight should have been a reason to drop him completely. They couldn't have just hired a new performer? Seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tygers09 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The Red Wings have Al the Octopus but he's actually inflated not a person in a costume...also marketed in printed merchandise too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makreutzer Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 The Findlay Oiler is a very hellish mascot... just sayin'... its really creepy. I, for one, like NBA sleeved jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMUBrent Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The Red Wings have Al the Octopus but he's actually inflated not a person in a costume...also marketed in printed merchandise too..Pretty sure the Wings had a mascot back in the mid-1980s. I think it was called "The Winger". Basically a person dressed in a red bird costume with a Red Wings jersey on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
