Steelers unnamed mascot remains unnamed

It was announced this weekend that the Steelers have had to delay naming their new mascot after receiving more than 70,000 submissions for what this big foam guy should be called.

How hard can picking a name be? Let’s take a look at the entries…

Rejected names and phrases from the category of “Other”-

• “Hey isn’t that Purdue’s mascot?”
• “Yinz making Steelers bucks now so next round is on you at the Lithuanian Club.”
• “Pirate Parrot is my wing man because he can pull same tail.”
• “They chose this instead of cheerleaders?”
• “Better than that Terrible Towelie guy.”
• “Stanley P. Kachowski – Mall Cop/ WDVE cliche since 1985”
• “I thought the Chin went to the Browns North Carolina.”

And my favorite, the actual file name for this picture on Steelers.com –

• “07_UrbanImpact_Mascot”

Yes. “Urban”.
