If I were to mash two mascots up into a single mascot, I would pick the mascots of the New Orleans Second Line and the Orange County Otters. You might be asking, what is the mascot of the New Orleans Second Line? I asked myself the very same question about their mascot. My best assumption is that the mascot of the New Orleans Second Line is a band or a Second Line in a Mardi Gras parade. I don't really know. For the sake of the prompt let's say it's a band. The Orange County Otters' mascot is pretty obvious, at least - it's an Otter. So why would I chose those two mascots to mash into one? Well my vision is that we would take the head from the Otter and the body and instrument playing capabilities from the band members and basically have a band full of Otters. It would be adorable.
If I were to mash two players together, I would create the greatest running back that the league has ever seen. To start, we need the fastest running back we can find. There are a couple options for that, but we're gonna go with Maple Dogwood @dogwoodmaple as our base. Maximum speed, high agility, plenty of endurance, he'll be the quick and speedy piece that makes this monster go. Now, how to make him unstoppable? Two words: Wario Saturday @rickymartin_irl. It's hard enough taking down a speedy guy when he's 5'9", 190 lbs; imagine how difficult it would be when he's 6'7", 325 lbs! Linebackers would struggle to tackle him, and it would be basically impossible for any cornerback to stop him, especially one with noodle arms like Roque Cotswold @roquefort. Wario also happens to be the strongest player in the whole league, so not only would he be bigger than everyone on the field, he is stronger and faster than all of them as well! Even video games would be jealous of the kinds of numbers Wario Dogwood would put up!
The Osha Kuiju have one of the most mythical and strongest mascot in the league. And Joey Battle is one of the strongest and toughest defensive player in the league. If we could combine both the Kaiju and Joey Battle, it would create for a crazy strong and powerful defensive player in Joey Kaiju. The combination allows for Joey Battle to have super strength, speed and aggressiveness which make for an amazing tackler and sack artist in the league. The ISFL will be in a tougher mess with an oversized and over powerful Joey Kaiju. The team's defense has been struggling a bit and having a monster defensive player will help the team limit the opposing offense and allow Jimmies give more time to make something happen. The team's offense has its ups and downs and starts slow so having a super strong player hold the fort will allow the team's offense more opportunities and time to catch up.
Obviously, if you’re going to mash up 2 mascots, you are going to be drawn towards your own team’s representative, which is a SaberCat for me! Now, what on earth do you combine a SaberCat with? Well, you could combine it with Yellowknife’s wraith maybe? A ghostly big cat, you could maybe call it a SpectreCat? It could just appear out of the ether and attack! Terrifying indeed!
Or perhaps we combine it with one of the 2 fishy franchises, either the Sailfish of Sarasota or Honolulu’s sea flap flap. Either way, it’s maybe not a good combination, due to the standard trope of cats liking fish, so the SaberFish might eat itself! How about a fire salamander? Not only could the crazed cat and lizard hybrid rip you apart with its claws, it can happily char what’s left of you with its fire! We can call it a Fire Sabermander and it’s would be terrifying! |
