Blitz the Seahawk inducted into Mascot Hall of Fame
Blitz the Seahawk inducted into Mascot Hall of Fame The Seattle Seahawks have five retired numbers in franchise history: Steve Largent's No. 80, Walter Jones' No. 71, Kenney Easley's No. 45, Cortez Kennedy's No. 96, and No. 12 in honor of their fans. With the exception of No. 12, the other four numbers are retired due to the players who made them iconic have all been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Well, Seattle may need to think about hanging another jersey number from the rafters... as they now have another Hall of Fame inductee: their beloved mascot, Blitz the Seahawk! On Tuesday it was announced Blitz was officially voted into the Mascot Hall of Fame. Out of 28 total nominees in 2025, Blitz made the final cut and will be immortalized as a Hall of Fame caliber mascot. Blitz now becomes the fifth NFL mascot to be inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame. He joins Blue (Colts), KC wolf (Chiefs), Jaxson de Ville (Jaguars) and fellow 2025 inductee Toro (Texans). Interestingly, another Pacific Northwest icon was also nominated: the Oregon Duck. Certainly one of the better known mascots in the world of college athletics. Unfortunately, the Duck will have to wait at least another year before he gets in. Blitz is also the only Seattle/Washington State mascot in Hall as well. Mariner Moose, Harry the Husky, Butch T. Cougar and (my personal favorite) Swoop from Eastern Washington University are all currently on the outside looking in. Perhaps someday they will join Blitz! But for now, raise a glass in honor of Blitz, fellow 12's. It is time to celebrate the latest Seahawk Hall of Famer!

Texans' star TORO named to 2025 Mascot Hall of Fame Class
Texans' star TORO named to 2025 Mascot Hall of Fame Class The Houston Texans have one player in the Pro Football Hall of Fame with wide receiver Andre Johnson. They also now have one mascot forever enshrined in their repsective field. Texans' official mascot, TORO, will be inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025, the Mascot Hall of Fame Executive Committee announced Tuesday morning. TORO, who made his debut in 2002, will become the second Houston-based mascot to join the Hall of Fame, alongside Astros' longtime mascot Orbit, a 2024 recipient. 'We are so proud to have TORO inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame and we share this recognition with Texans fans everywhere,' Houston Texans Senior Mascot Program Manager Andrew Johnson said. 'The city of Houston helped bring TORO to life by giving him an identity within the community. We can't wait to celebrate TORO in the Mascot Hall of Fame this season and for him to continue bringing joy to fans of all ages.' TORO joins an elite group of 33 mascots already enshrined in the Hall, recognized for excellence across collegiate, professional and independent sports. The Texans will recognize TORO for this distinguished honor in a Mascot Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony during halftime of one of their home game this season. Established by the original Phillie Phanatic David Raymond (1978-1993), The Mascot Hall of Fame celebrates the power of mascot entertainment as a tool for education, creativity and community engagement, offering a family-friendly environment dedicated to honoring the characters that bring joy and energy to audiences around the globe. TORO earned the highest number of votes amongst the Executive Committee and ranked highest for public votes of all mascots on the ballot. An 11-time Pro Bowl honoree, the face of the Texans is renowned for his high-flying stunts, hilarious social media pranks and energizing presence as the conductor of the crowd at Texans home games. Beyond gameday activities, TORO has been deeply involved in the Houston community through his elementary school program, including TORO Takes the BULL Out of Bullying and visits to Texans community partners. In addition, TORO also wrote his first children's book, 'Made To Be A Mascot', which highlights the importance of celebrating each other's differences. The Texans open at home on Sept. 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.

Tempo hilariously calls on WNBA teams for mascot tips ahead of 2026 debut
The post Tempo hilariously calls on WNBA teams for mascot tips ahead of 2026 debut appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Toronto Tempo are blossoming into a new WNBA team as they approach their debut season in 2026. As they sort out logistics, the Tempo team is seeking the advice of other teams on how they do things, particularly regarding mascots. Advertisement On Thursday, the Tempo engaged with eventual competitors about ideas for mascots on their X page. They contacted all the WNBA teams to gather their input on how to create the best mascot. On one post, the Tempo asked for counsel on dancing from the Indiana Fever's mascot, Freddy Fever. 'Hello @FreddyFever We see the dances. We see the vibe. Can you let us know how we can bring something like that to Toronto?' In another post, they sought advice from the New York Liberty's mascot, Ellie the Elephant, on how to create the greatest mascot of all time. 'Hey DIVA @BigEllieLiberty any advice you can give us for having a GOAT mascot?'. Then, the Tempo reached out to Sparky from the Los Angeles Sparks to ask about sampling their mascot's athletic abilities. Advertisement 'We didn't forget about our pal Sparky @LASparks! Can you please ask him for us what it takes to be a top-tier mascot? We've seen the athleticism; we are impressed and taking notes.' The Tempo mascot has a template to follow. Out of all the mascots, it is Ellie the Elephant that is considered the most popular in the WNBA. At Liberty games, she gets the fans involved through elaborate dance performances. Additionally, Ellie has gone viral on multiple occasions for her energy. As a result, there is at least one example for the Tempo to follow. While the mascot is yet to be determined, there is much anticipation about the WNBA in Toronto. After all, the Tempo has Serena Williams as an investor. The idea of a WNBA team in Toronto first came to fruition after the Chicago Sky and Minnesota Lynx played an exhibition there in May 2023. Advertisement The buzz surrounding the game was palpable, culminating in a sold-out crowd of 19,800 at Toronto's Scotiabank Arena.
