Greensboro's minor league baseball team rolled out its new mascot, team colors, and logo today. The Bats have become the Grasshoppers. Initial reaction to the new mascot seems mixed at best.
I got in my fair share of Kung-Fu jokes when I first heard the new mascot. However, after thinking about team president Donald Moore's comments at Crescent Rotary Club today, I think the Grasshoppers might just work.
Donald correctly points out that the minor league teams with successful merchandising efforts have "different" mascots. And at least the Grasshoppers do not fall under the category of Greensboring.
Let's embrace this new mascot and have some fun with it!
