Re: Who do you know Team 66 better as???


You could go the "cute" way if you wanted for your B-24 mascot/logo.
Or for a physical mascot you could even just have someone possibly dress up as a WWII era bomber pilot.

I have you linked to the Flyers, but I make the connection to the Philadelphi Flyers when I hear your name as well (being a hockey fan). So, incorporation of the Philly Flyers logo, or something that resembles it, could work as well.

In a slight bit of irony, the Penguins is also an NHL team's name, the Pittsburgh Penguins...
I'd think you were from Pennsylvania with those teams names.

Being in the same-ish boat as Jon, I'll always think of you guys as the penguins.

I think its also important to note that the Linux mascot is the Penguin:




now ain't that cute, just put it in a WWI or WWII pilot suit and its done.

edit: well... on second thought and a piece of advice from a former member, we'll put our old penguin in a pilot suit, not this one. The former member informed me that when the idea for the penguins was originally debated, the logo was made specifically against the linux one. In fact, it was made to emulate the big and buff teacher that ran the team at the time.

Honestly? Just as Team 66. Although I have vague recollections of the Mystery Machine, team names change so often that it just makes sense to brand with the number in mind. But it's always good to gauge your audience.

Agreed, route 66 is always on my mind and a similar sign has always been on the front of our t-shirts (not our polos).

BTW: I need some more voters... I want to get a very good idea of who knows us as what to see what needs to happen as far as a mascot is concerned.
