Flyers take the heat off of the Union with awful new mascot

The Philadelphia Union aren’t the only team in Philly to get a new mascot, as the Philadelphia Flyers introduced their new mascot, Gritty, earlier today.

The Union’s mascot, Phang, was panned by many fans as being silly or a tad ridiculous due to the arms, legs and hair on what was supposed to be a snake. However, with the introduction of Gritty, Union fans are probably thankful for what they got.

The Flyers introduced their new mascot, “Gritty” to the world today. And it’s getting a rather critical response from fans all over the world, and honestly, it’s easy to see why.
