Can't wait to hear the Alex jonsian theories on this shit. Actually he's probably done it 6 times already, so no doubt he'll be bringing it back up again.

NewYork Post not bothering to spell check the name. It's the Phryges, from Phrygian cap, one of the symbols for liberty. Funnily enough, it also figures on the flag of the New York state.

Arguably, it's a terrible and freakish looking mascot, but the symbolism is strong.

I thought they were one of the better mascots, upon hearing about other mascots. Olympic and Paralympic Mascots
