(Minnesota) Wild thing

[writing irish]

I remember some consternation around here whether the critter depicted in the Minnesota Wild logo was a bear or some sort of big cat.

Well, turns out the team itself isn't quite sure. Meet Nordy.

Nordy himself has no idea whether he's a bearcat or a prehistoric wombat. Nor does he know the meaning or origin of the disturbing rune on his forehead. One thing's sure, though. He's Wild.
Oh well. If it makes a few sick kids at a children's hospital happy, I don't begrudge the Wild their truly goofy new mascot, even if it is Fail on Ice.

Itchy: That Nordy's one outrageous dude!

Scratchy: He's totally in my face!

"Poochie's DEAD! Hyuh-hyah!"

Nordy?

That's Huckleberry Hound wearing a wig.

Remember kids, Nordy recycles...TO THE EXTREME!!!!

That's awesome.
Needs a tounge to pull off though.

What's his name again?

 

[Bubbler]

Hey man! Just thought I'd drop by!

 

[BYH]

The rest of you start thinking up a name for this funky mascot. I dunno, something along the line of say...Nordy, only more proactive.

How 'bout Nate Poole?

 

[dixiehack]

Help! It's the Hair Bear Bunch!

I have no idea what possessed the Wild to do this. I already have two Minnesota Wild beanie bears - and they LOOK like bears.

I don't need to purchase a third, uh, whatever it is.

DH, I forgot all about that cartoon, and it's eerie how much the new mascot resembles the Hair Bears.

And I still say the Wild logo resembles a panther.

Thank goodness Rosie voiced her lack of approval. Now I can echo my WTF moment without being sent to my room. ;D

If it makes the Wild fans feel any better, when the Whalercanes debuted Stormy a decade ago, they found him passed out in the Zamboni. Nice beginning.

It's all in the timing, Slap. Sometimes your subtle approach fits, sometimes you have to go direct as I did.
