BRING BACK BIG SHOT: Hip Hop is dead in Philadelphia -- the 76ers mascot others, not the cultural movement -- and the combined talents of Jim Henson's Creature Shop and locals have yielded these three finalists to replace him -- "Big Ben" Franklin, B. Franklin Dogg, and Phil E. Moose.
At least it's better than Li'l G.
B. Franklin Dogg is a kung-fu hippie from gangsta city, and a rapping sufer, you the fool i pity.
ReplyDeleteI dunno - is it too late to rastafy him by about ten percent?
ReplyDeleteEw.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter what the question is, the answer is always Ben Franklin.
ReplyDeleteThose all look awful. Better to have a big foam 7 and a big foam 6 dancing around the arena.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't the '76er's mascot just be World B. Free?
ReplyDeleteInstead of my comment above, I almost wrote "How about a giant globe in a gold suit?"
ReplyDeleteThey should just go with Mr Met knockoff with the old ABA ball.
ReplyDeleteHow about Chocolate Thunder?
ReplyDeleteI actually think this would in fact be much MUCH better.
ReplyDeleteOr a Declaration of Independence scroll.
ReplyDeleteOh, for fuck's sake.
ReplyDeleteI feel like it would be vaguely racist to vote for any of them.
ReplyDeleteI think Ben Franklin could work if they use a giant but otherwise weirdly realistic head like the viking from Freaks and Geeks or the incredibly realistic Charlie Sheen mask.
