Our mascot has taken several forms in discussions, and Honolulu hasn't yet developed a formal mascot. Hahalua is Hawaiian for manta ray, so clearly that would be the basis of our mascot. Therefore, we are unique in that we have a lot of options available creatively due to our team. We could do the classic "stingray" in a football costume. This would allow us to do several things such as making the the "body" human, or instead having the stingray be the head. Therefore, because of our animalistic mascot, we could do a full bodied stingray that could be unique in appearance because it isn't directly personified. So, we could instead have a stingray gliding across the ground would could be entertaining if we motorized it somehow to allow it to be quick. I'm sure we would also have some sort of naming convention starting with the letter "H" because alliteration is king in marketing, am I right? One last cool idea could be to get an actual ray in an aquarium on display in our main concourse. This would allow for us to do more community engagement by having it be something that we could base kids events around like learning about the ray and partnering with local aquariums. Therefore, our mascot could go beyond the gridiron in into educational interactions with the youth of our fanbase.
