Vote for the New Philadelphia 76ers Mascot!

Now, I am not at all into watching basketball, but I do love a mascot.
Particularly a ridiculous mascot.
I might have to start watching the 76ers.

Here are your three choices - you can vote here and see more views (and outfits! Click to enlarge so you can see their shoes!) :

Big Ben

I am a fan of Big Ben’s stomach - he’ll be able to wield that thing just like the Phanatic, terrifying children and adults alike with his thrusting.

B. Franklin Dogg

Note the double g in his name, this Dogg knows where it’s at with his liberty bell hat, though with the bell on the collar he might be trying too hard.

And finally… May I present:
Phil. E. Moose

Yup, a moose.

Sure, we all know about Ben Franklin, and maybe he had a dog, and Philly loves dogs (and most of Philly loves Michael Vick even though he seems to hate dogs), but a moose?
It would be hard to play basketball with those antlers.
And his shoes - they’re like pilgrim sneakers, complete with buckle. 
The origination story is complete nonsense. 

It’s a hard choice - Big Ben’s got that tummy and amazing eyebrows like wings, but Phil. E. is the most ridiculous mascot ever inappropriately anthropomorphized.
I might have to go with the Moose.
