Hip Hop RIP


The Sixers new ownership has made its first big move- firing mascot Hip Hop, the totally jacked sunglasses wearing rabbit who terrified kids and adults for years. The Sixers have contracted with Jim Henson's Creature Shop to create a new mascot for the team. Fans can now vote for the new mascot. The three finalists are Big Ben, a colonial dude, Franklin Dogg, a dog that rocks an American flag top hat like Apollo Creed in Rocky 4, and Phil E. Moose, a moose that wears colonial garb. These designs are the mascot equivalent of drafting Shawn Bradley. Unfortunately my mascot proposal, Crow Chee, a highly excitable Pirate bird that feels great, was rejected.
