The new pigskin pete is too young for the role, even though he does a good enough job on the basic level (i.e. leading the cheer). I would have much preferred an older man to do the job. I also hope that this guy doesn’t do this for 30 years. It should be moved to a new person every 4-5 years in my opinion.
But more importantly, what the heck happened to the TC mascot? We always had TC, then Bob brought in Stripes. And people complained about TC getting the cold shoulder. And so for awhile there we had TC AND Stripes. Now it’s just Stripes. What happened? Can anyone explain this monstrosity?
TC was getting close to retirement so the club decided to bring in someone younger and who is paid less then ‘downsize’ before they have to pay TC’s pension and medical benefits. :twisted:

I thought I saw both at the last game I was at.

He needs a far more distinctive outfit. You always saw Paul Weiler because of the old striped gear. With "Pete" now wearing a jersey similar to that of hundreds of fans he doesn't stand out. Hard to see... hard to follow.
Good idea. You would want him to stand out in a positive way of course. One wouldn’t want him to become a clownish figure.
